What two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
Which planets take more than a year to orbit the sun?
Mar, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Why must the inner planets orbit faster than the outer planets?
Precisely because: That's the way that gravity works.
How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.
Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.
What 3 planets take longer than 29 years to orbit the sun?
Saturn, years to orbit sun= 29.46Uranus, years to orbit sun= 84.32Neptune, years to orbit sun= 164.79
Is the closest planet to Jupiter mars or Saturn?
The orbit of Jupiter is closer to Mars' orbit than to Saturn's orbit. Mars = 1.52AU Jupiter = 5.20AU Saturn = 9.54AU Having said that, the positions of the planets are always changing as the planets orbit the sun at different rates. Mars is the closest planet to Jupiter as of February 2011, but this is not always the case.
Why are the gas planet moons not considered planets?
Io and Titan are moons because they orbit planets (Jupiter and Saturn respectively).
Which fact is true of superior planets?
The terms "inferior planet" and "superior planet" were originally used in the geocentric cosmology of Claudius Ptolemy to differentiate those planets (Mercury and Venus) that were between the stationary Earth and the orbiting Sun from those planets (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), which lay beyond the Sun's orbit.The terms are now used with the heliocentric model."Inferior Planets" have orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth's orbit.They are Mercury and Venus.The "Superior Planets" have orbits outside the Earth's orbit.They are Mars,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.So, the meaning is slightly different from "Inner Planets" and "Outer Planets".
What planets take longer to orbit the sun then Saturn?
Only Uranus and Neptune take longer than Saturn to orbit the Sun. Uranus has an orbital period of about 84 years, while Neptune takes around 165 years to complete an orbit.
Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.
What is the shape of Saturn's orbit?
Like the other planets, Uranus has an elliptical orbit as it moves around the sun rather than a circular orbit. Uranus has an axial tilt of 99 degrees, which is a lot, considering the axial tilt of the Earth is 23.5 degrees.
