The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to revolve around

the sun in its orbit.

The ratio of (Orbital period)2/(Semi-major axis)3 is a constant for every object

in solar orbit. (That's Kepler's 3rd law of planetary motion.)

What causes a planets's period of revolution around the sun to be longer or shorter?

It's the distance from the Sun that determines the period of revolution. The period squared is proportional to the distance cubed, so if it is at a distance of 4 astronomical units, it takes 8 years to go round.


Does the distance of the planet from the sun affects its period of revolution?

Yes, the distance of a planet from the sun affects its period of revolution. According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, planets that are closer to the sun have shorter revolution periods compared to planets that are farther away.


Why do planets have different periods of revolution?

The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.

What is the relationship between the period of revolution and distance from the sun?

The period of revolution of a planet (time taken to complete one orbit around the sun) is directly proportional to its average distance from the sun. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Planets that are farther from the sun take longer to complete an orbit compared to planets that are closer to the sun.


What determines a planet's period of revolution?

A planets period or revolution, the time taken to orbit its star, is dependant on its mass, the stars mass and the distance between the two. See Kepler's laws of planetary motion for further information.

A planet with a large orbit around the sun has?

A longer orbital period, meaning it takes more time to complete one revolution around the sun. This results in a larger average distance from the sun compared to planets with shorter orbits. This increased distance can lead to colder temperatures on the planet.
