Which planet takes about 248 earth days to orbit around the sun-it has the greatest distance to travel around the sun?
You're talking about Pluto. But the correct figure is 248 earth-years, not days.
What is is called when you travel around the sun or planet?
When you travel around the Sun or a planet, due to gravitational attraction, it is called an "orbit". It is also a "revolution" around the Sun or planet.
When a planet is closer to the Sun is the orbit around the Sun shorter or longer?
When a planet is closer to the Sun, its orbit around the Sun is shorter because it has a smaller distance to travel in completing one orbit. The time it takes for a planet to go around the Sun is determined by its distance and speed.
Which planet takes 1 year to travel around the world?
No planet travels around the world. All planets travel around the sun. This is called the solar system.
What planet has the smallest distance to travel around the sun?
Mercury. The planet that has the smallest distance to travel around the Sun is the planet that is also the smallest planet. This planet is named like many other planets for a Greek god. It was first discovered many years ago and is only separated from Earth by Venus. It is usually farther away from Earth than the planet Mars which is the fourth planet from the Sun. Earth is third. Venus is second. All four or these planets are composed mainly of solids as opposed to the next four planets (the "gas giants") Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus (lol).
What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and it's year?
The further a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is. This is because a planet's year is determined by how long it takes to complete one orbit around the sun, with larger orbits taking more time to complete.
If a planet had two moons and one moon was twice as far from the planet as the other which moon would complete an orbit of the planet first?
The moon closer to the planet would complete an orbit first because it has a smaller orbit, which means it has a shorter distance to travel around the planet compared to the moon that is farther away.
What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its year?
The distance a planet is from the sun influences its year length. Planets closer to the sun have shorter years because they travel a shorter distance to complete one orbit around the sun. Conversely, planets farther from the sun have longer years because they have a greater distance to travel in their orbit.
What planet would take the shortest time to travel around?
the first planet mercury
Does Jupiter travel most slowly around the sun when at aphelion?
Anything in a gravitational orbit moves most slowly whenthe distance between it and the central body is greatest.
When will a planet travel fastest in its orbit?
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
Is alpha centauri a planet?
No. Alpha centaurii or Proxima centaurii (Proxima=Closest in Latin) is the closest star to earth except the sun, with an approx. distance of 4.28 lightyears (the distance that light can travel in 4.28 years). so alpha centaurii is a star not a planet. if it has planets orbiting around it is unknown.
