The path we travel is an orbit. One complete time around that path is a revolution. Rotation is the act of turning on an axis.
The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.
Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, have shorter revolution periods because they have shorter distances to travel around the Sun. Outer planets, such as Neptune and Pluto, have longer revolution periods due to their larger orbits.
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
Planets farther from the sun have larger orbits, which means they have to travel a greater distance to complete one revolution around the sun. This larger distance results in a longer orbital period compared to planets closer to the sun. It follows Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun.
The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.
The Earth's travel around the sun is called its orbit. It takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to complete one orbit around the sun, resulting in a year.
Planets orbit the sun.
They rotate. Travel around the sun is called revolving.
For the same reason that it would take longer to run around your block than to run around your yard. The further planets have a further distance to travel to make one revolution around the sun.
The outer planets take much more time and also travel longer to complete a whole orbit around the Sun, than the inner ones.
Each complete revolution of the London Eye takes 30 minutes.
