Extrasolar planets have been discovered with much shorter years; I can think of several that have 3-day "years". They're obviously orbiting very close to their parent star and are therefore very hot.

Which planet in your solar system has the shortest year?
Mercury
Which planets has the longest year and which planet has the shortest?
(The year is proportional to the distance to the power 1.5) In our solar system, Mercury has the shortest year. Neptune has the longest.
How does the distance affect the time it takes a planet to orbit?
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
Which planet in the solar system has the same amount of days in a year as earth?
saturn
What planet has the shortest year and planet with the longest year?
The real "planet" with the longest year is Neptune It takes 165 Earth Years. Mercury has the shortest year. It is closest to the Sun and therefore the Suns gravity acts upon it with more strength
Which planet in your solar system has the shortest year?
Mercury
What planet in our solar system has the shortest year?
Mercury has the shortest year, lasting 88 Earth days.
Which planets has the longest year and which planet has the shortest?
(The year is proportional to the distance to the power 1.5) In our solar system, Mercury has the shortest year. Neptune has the longest.
Which planet in the solar system has the shortest years?
Mercury. Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its `year` is 88 solar days.
What innner planet has the shortest year?
What inner planet has the shortest year
What is the name of the planet that has a year of 9 earth days?
No known object in the solar system circles the sun every 9 days. The body with the shortest known orbital period is the planet Mercury, with a 'year' of 88 earth days.
How does the distance affect the time it takes a planet to orbit?
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
Which planet in the solar system has the same amount of days in a year as earth?
saturn
Which planet's year is the shortest?
MercuryIn this solar system, that would be Mercury at about 88 Earth days. There have been planets discovered around other stars which blaze around their suns in a matter of hours instead of days.
What planet is more than a light year away from the earth?
Anything out of our solar system.
Which planet is the furthhest from the sun?
The furthest planet in our solar system from the sun is Sedna. It would take about 10,500 to 12,000 year to get there!
What planet has the shortest year out of mercury or earth?
Mercury has the shortest year. It's year is about 88 Earth days.
