Which planet orbits the sun faster?

If you mean faster than the Earth, then the planets Mercury and Venus orbit faster. This is because they are closer to the sun.


Why does mars orbits faster than than the other planet?

This is false. Mercury is the "fastest" planet, with Venus and Earth next. IN fact, the orbital speed of any planet is inversely related to the distance from the Sun; close-in planets orbit faster than farther-out planets.


What planets orbit the sun faster than Saturn?

the fastest planet that orbit's the sun is mercury.


Is it true that the planet Mercury's orbit is faster than its rotation?

Yes, it is


How fast do the satellites orbit the earth?

Faster than you


Is earth orbit smaller than Venus orbit?

No. Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun; Earth is #3.


Earth is closer to the sun in December than in June In which of these two months is earth moving faster around the sun?

Earth moves faster in its orbit around the sun when it is closer to the sun, which happens in December. This is due to the conservation of angular momentum in the solar system, where the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it moves in its orbit.


Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?

Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.


Which planet has an orbit that is closer to the Sun than Earth?

Mercury


What planet circles the sun faster than any other planet?

Mercury circles the sun in 88 days. That is the fastest orbiting planet. It is because of it's position with the sun. It is the closest so it has a smaller orbit.


Does earth move faster or slower when in an elliptical orbit?

Slower or faster than what? - When the Earth is nearer the Sun (periapsis), it moves faster than when it is farther away from the Sun (apapsis).


How does a planets distance from the sun affect its orbit speed?

Since the gravitational effect of the Sun decreases with distance from it, the planets farther from the Sun do not have to move as rapidly to remain in orbit. (In fact, the speed is what establishes the orbit, not the other way around.) So the outer planets, in addition to having much farther to travel in their orbits, are also moving more slowly. This combination means that outer planets take very much longer to orbit the Sun than do the inner planets such as Earth. By comparison, the length of time it takes (in Earth years) for each of the outer planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun: Jupiter - 11.9 Earth years Saturn - 29.5 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 165 Earth years
