The planets that orbit the sun change in distance based on their orbits, but are the only planets that have relatively consistent distance from the sun. These distances are measured in Astronomical Units, the average distance between the earth and the sun. Of these, the one that's furthest away isn't even close to a light-year away from the sun, as Pluto averages 39.5 AU, and 1 light-year is 63,239 AU.

A year (or orbital period) is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun.


How are the length of a planet year and planet distance from the sun?

A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.


Which planet is a source of light The earth the moon or the sun a satellite?

The sun is a source of light, but it is not a planet.


How can you convert light-year to light-day and how many light-day are between your planet and the sun?

To convert light-years to light-days, you can use the fact that one light-year is the distance light travels in one year, and one light-day is the distance light travels in one day. Since there are 365.25 days in a year, you can divide the number of light-years by 365.25 to get the equivalent in light-days. The average distance from Earth to the Sun is about 1 astronomical unit (AU), which is approximately 8.3 light-minutes, or about 0.0057 light-days. Thus, there are about 0.0057 light-days between Earth and the Sun.


What is the defention for a year on any planet?

That is that planet's "year", or its orbital period.


Does the distance from the sun affect how long a year is on that planet?

a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.


Is the average distance from earth to the sun a light-year?

No. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 8 light-minutes.It takes light 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth, in other words.The distance that light can travel in one year is one light-year.
