Mercury is the closest known planet to the sun, in terms of its average orbital distance. It's also the one with the highest speed in its orbit, and the one with the shortest period of revolution or 'year'.
Mercury's average distance from the sun: 36 million miles (58 million km)
Average orbital speed: 29.7 miles (47.9 km) per second
Period of revolution around the sun: 88 earth days

What is planetary velocity?
Orbital velocity is the average velocity (or speed) of a planet as it orbits around the sun. It is usually expressed as km/s or mph.
How many miles does mars travel around the sun?
889,972,909 miles, based on its average orbital speed and the time taken for one orbit.
Why does it take 76 years for Halley's comet to go around the sun?
Most comets have a very eccentric orbit. Most of the time they are far out on the edge of our solar system, travelling very slowly. They then eventually come closer to the sun and whip around the other side of it very quickly, travelling much closer to the sun. They then return back to a more distant orbit. For most of the time it is very far from the sun, travelling relatively slowly.
A three-dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found is called an?
an orbital. there are two electrons in each orbital, and groups of orbitals make up shells
What is Pluto's speed of rotation?
Pluto orbits the Sun at an average speed of 4.66 km/sec.
What is the average price of a regular orbital sander?
Orbital sanders range in price from $30.00 to hundreds of dollars. With that in mind, the average price hovers right around $100.00 for a decent sander that won't give the user any trouble or break down too quickly.
Why does venus take 225 days to revolve around the sun and earth takes 365 days?
Because Venus has less distance to travel than the Earth and is travelling faster. With an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s and an orbital period of 224.70069 days gives an orbital distance of 679,883,169.35km The Earth has an orbital speed of 29.78 km/s (Slower than Venus) and an orbital period of 365.256 days gives an orbital distance of 939,800,765.95km

What does the words orbital speed mean?
Orbital speed is the velocity (speed) of an object as it travels an orbital path around a reference point.
What is orbital period?
Orbital period is the time it takes a planet to go around its star once.
