What planet rotates 1.5 times as it orbits the sun?
Mercury is the planet that rotates on its axis about 1.5 times for every orbit it completes around the Sun. This unique rotation is referred to as a 3:2 orbital resonance, resulting in a specific pattern of sunrise and sunset views from the surface of the planet.
Is moon a planet by science?
No. The official definition of a planet has three parts, and failure of any of the three parts means the object is not a planet. 1. The object must be round. The moon meets this part of the definition. 2. The object must orbit the sun. The moon fails this part - it orbits Earth, and Earth orbits the sun.
Which planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun?
the planet takes almost 2 earth years to orbit the sun is Jupiter
Do planets orbit once a year?
Only the earth orbits the sun once a year. Mars orbits the sun once every 2 years. As you get closer to the sun the planets orbit the sun in less than a year. As you get past Mars, it takes even longer.
Why are the lenghts of the years on the other planets different?
The length of a planet's year is the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun the shorter its year. There are 2 reasons for that: 1) The planet's orbital path is shorter. 2) The nearer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves in its orbit.
How long does it take for Saturn to orbit the sun once?
29 Earth years and 167 Earth days.The planet Saturn takes about 29 1/2 Earth years (29.46 years) to revolve around the Sun in its orbit.It takes Saturn 29.45 years to orbit the Sun, which works out to 10,759 days. Saturn is the most distant planet in the solar system that is able to be seen with the naked eye.
How many years does Mars takes to orbit the sun?
About 2 yrs. The orbit of Mars is about twice that of Earth's. == == Do you mean "how long does it take Mars to orbit the sun?" if so, 687 Earth days. Mars orbits 227 million kilometers away from the sun.
What is a large cold planet 2 billion 788 million miles from the sun?
Neptune - the furthest of the eight planets from the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 2,795,084,802 miles - but this varies by a fair amount.
Is mercury the 2 planet away from the sun?

Why does Uranus orbit the sun so slowly?
There are two main reasons why it orbits so slowly. 1. It is the only planet in the Solar system to orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. 2. It is very far away from the sun and does not travel very fast.
What is Kepler's law Kepler's law?
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion:1] Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus2] The line form the sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals3] The squares of the times of revolution (days, months or years) of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their average distances from the sun.
