How do you work out the length of 1 year for each planet?
Take the length of the planet's orbit, divide it by the speed at which the planet is orbiting and VOILA! The "year."
Why is Mercury's planet nickname the swift planet?
Because it has the shortest year, as it is the closest planet ot the sun.
Which are the two planets nearest to Earth?
That depends on the time of the year - or even century. Of all the planets of the Solar System, Venus approaches closest to ours. Most of the time, either Mars or Venus are closest to Earth. On rare occasions, Mercury is closer than either Mars or Venus.
Is this true or false the length of a planet's year is determined by how fast it spins?
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
What is the length of a year on the planet ngc 3079?
NGC 3079 is a galaxy, not a planet.
What determines the length of an entire year on a planet?
The time it takes for any given planet to make one complete revolution around its sun determines the length of its year.
Which planet's day is closest in length to its year?
The planet Mercury has a day that is almost the same length as its year. Mercury's rotation period is about 59 Earth days, which is very close to its orbital period around the Sun of about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury is almost as long as one year on Mercury.
How are the surface temp and length of year on a planet related to the planet's distance from the sun?
As a general rule, the surface temp will go down and the length of the planet's "year" will increase the farther it is from the sun. There are exceptions, but that is the general rule.
What planet has a year that is only 88 earth days long?
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has an orbital period (year) equal to 88 Earth days.
What is the length of one year on planet mars?
The length of year on Mars is 686.98 Earth days or 1.88 Earth years.
What causes a year on any planet?
On any planet, one year is defined by one orbit, or revolution, around its sun. One day is defined by the complete rotation spun around its own axis. The actual length of a year on a planet depends on how far it is from its sun, how much mass it has, and other variables. Since other planets' years, days, and time are different than ours, we measure them in Earth Years, Earth Days, or similar.
What is the length of time it takes planetary objects to revolve around the sun?
Typically, this length of time is called a "year". Each planet's year is a different length than that of the other planets and increases as the planet is further from the Sun.
