Are length of year and orbital period the same thing?

No, the length of a year refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around its star, while the orbital period is the time it takes for an object to complete one orbit around another object in space, such as a moon around a planet or a planet around a star. The length of a year is specific to a planet, while orbital period is a more general concept relating to any orbiting object.

What methods has led to the most discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars?

The radial velocity method and the transit method have been most successful in discovering massive planets orbiting near their parent stars. The radial velocity method detects planets by measuring the wobble of the star caused by the gravitational pull of the planet, while the transit method detects planets by observing the dip in brightness as the planet passes in front of its star.


What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?

The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.
