Best Answer

Mercury. Travelling at around Jet plane speed (1000km/h or 600mph) it would take about 163 years to get to Saturn. It would only take 10.6 years to reach Mercury at its closest approach, travelling the same speed.

Does the distance of the planet from the sun affects its period of revolution?

Yes the closer to the Sun a planet is the shorter is its Revolution (orbit), as it has less distance to travel to go round once.


How are Mercury and Neptune alike?

They share in common that they are both planets orbiting the same star.


What planets rotate faster than the earth?

Orbiting faster than any planet in our Solar System, Mercury goes around the Sun about every 88 Earth days. it is also the smallest planet, and the closest to the Sun. Mercury has no known satellites. Venus orbits the Sun about every 224.7 Earth days. It is the second-closest planet to the Sun, and also has no known satellites.


What planet orbits around the sun the fastest?

The planet that is closest to the sun will orbit the fastest because its orbit is much smaller than the others. Mercury would be the correct answer. mercury because the first one has less distance to travel


Planet with fastest orbiting speed in your solar system?

Please note that "fastest" can be interpreted two ways: the actual speed a planet is traveling around the sun, or the actual time required for a given planet to complete it's orbit around the sun. In the first case, the larger a planet is, the greater it's mass and therefore the higher it's speed. One of the gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn being hundreds of times times larger than the inner planets like earth is traveling at immense speed. In the second case, the closer a planet is to the sun the shorter it's orbit will be and generally the faster it's trip will be. The planet closest to the sun and having the shortest obit around it is Mercury.

Which planet has shorter travel time saturn or mercury?

Planets orbiting closer to their sun tend to move a lot faster then planets further out. This case is no exception Mercury has a year of 88 Earth Days, and Saturn has a year of 10,832 Earth days.


Where does 'planet Mercury' got its name?

i think it was the Romans that named it after their god Mercury who was the god of thievery, commerce and travel.


Why is a year on Mercury shorter than other planets?

Because it has less distance to travel around the Sun.


Would a year on the planets take longer or shorter then an earth year explain?

It depends on the planet. The planets orbiting closer to the sun than earth (Mercury and Venus) have shorter years, because they have smaller orbits, and travel faster. The planets further from the sun (Mars, Jupier, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have longer years because they have larger orbits and travel slower.


Does the closest planet to the sun have the shortest orbit?

Yes. The closer an object is to the Sun, the shorter the distance it has to travel to get around it.


Where was the name of mercury planet came from?

In Roman mythology Mercury is the god of commerce, travel and thievery, the messenger of the Gods. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the sky
