What is the difference between orbital period aNd synodic period?

The orbital period is the time it takes for an object to complete one orbit around another object, like a planet around a star. The synodic period is the time it takes for a given object to return to the same position in the sky relative to the Sun as seen from Earth, for example the time between two consecutive similar configurations of a planet as observed from Earth.


Which planet has the longest period of the revolution around the sun?

Neptune.


How long is a day and a year on the planet?

A planets day (solar day) is the time it takes to rotate once on its axis relative to the sun, the synodic period. A year on a planet is the time taken for the planet travel once around the sun.


Which outer planet has the longest day?

Uranus has the longest day of any planet in the solar system, with a rotation period of about 17 hours and 14 minutes.


Why stars seem to move faster than planets in the sky as viewed from earth?

It's because we are going round the Sun and so are all the planets. For that reason the time it takes for a planet to go round the ecliptic and arrive back at the same apparent position - called its synodic period - is longer than a year. Venus and Mars have the longest synodic period because their times to go round once are the closest to 365 days. They take 225 and 687 days to go round but the synodic periods are 584 and 780 days. On the other hand the far-out planets do not move much in a year. Neptune takes 165 years to go round so its synodic period is only a little over 365 days and is 367½ days.


Missions to mars are launched about 26 months apart because that is the blank blank between earth and mars?

Yeah this is the Synodic Period... are you doing a crossword for a planet class right now... me too!


What is the relationship between the sidereal and synodic periods in celestial mechanics?

The sidereal period is the time it takes for a celestial body to complete one orbit relative to the fixed stars, while the synodic period is the time it takes for a celestial body to return to the same position relative to the Sun as seen from Earth. The relationship between the two periods is influenced by the relative motion of the Earth and the celestial body, and can vary depending on their orbits and positions.


What planet has the longest revolution?

If you mean revolution on it axis (spin/day length) rather than orbital period, then the answer is the planet Mercury, where time between sunrises is roughly 176 Earth days.


Synodic period of the moon?

The synodic period of the Moon is about 29.5 days, representing the time it takes to go through a complete cycle of phases as observed from Earth. This period defines the time between successive occurrences of the same phase, such as from full moon to full moon. The slightly longer synodic period compared to the Moon's orbital period is due to Earth's motion around the Sun.


What's the difference between a sidereal year and a synodic year?

A sidereal year is measured based on the planet's position in space relative to the background stars. A synodic year is measured based on the planet's position relative to the star it rotates around (i.e. the sun) Here's an image that is pretty helpful in visualizing.
