Mercury orbits our sun at a much quicker rate than Pluto. It's orbital speed is quicker due to it's proximity to the sun and it has a much shorter path to complete. The further out a body is from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit.

Becuase they orbit the earth in circles and as you move out their circles are bigger, therefore have a bigger perimeter so it takes longer to get round, also weight, mass and their distance from th sun which effects the gravitational pull can have some effect

Pluto has a longer orbit because it is much further from the Sun than Venus and the Sun's gravitational pull is much weaker.

Which of these planets would have the shortest year venus-243 days pluto-4 days or mercury-59 days?

Pluto is no longer a planet A year is the measurement of an orbit of the sun, not a rotation on it's axis. What you have listed is the object's 'day' Pluto rotates on it's axis once every 6 days, 9 hours venus: once every 243 days mercury: once 59 days An orbit of the Sun (a year): Mercury: 87 days Venus: 224 days Pluto: 248 Years 87 days < 224 days < 248 YEARS umm, Mercury. Note that Venus' day is longer than it's year - no wonder the place is an oven!
