The sun does revolve in the Galaxy, but the period at which a single revolution would occur would be hundreds of millions of years.
The sun spins every 25 days.
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
The farther away from the sun, the longer the period of revolution takes.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days.
The Sun doesnt Rotate
they have different distances from the sun
Jupiter's period of revolution, or its orbit around the Sun, takes about 12 Earth years because it is located farther from the Sun than Earth. This means it has a larger orbit and travels a greater distance in its path around the Sun.
The period of revolution (time taken to complete one orbit around the sun) increases with distance from the sun. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the period of revolution is proportional to the cube of the average distance from the sun (semi-major axis) for a planet.
The relationship that exists between a planet's distance from the Sun and its period of revolution is that the closer the planet is from the Sun, the less amount of time it takes for the planet to complete its period of revolution.
A year.
