Mercury has the shortest orbit of all our planets because it is the closest planet to our Sun
mercury, because it is closest to the sun and and has a shorter path
Planets do not orbit earth. The only heavenly body that orbits earth is the moon.
Mercury - makes one complete orbit of the sun in just 88 days.
The nearest planet to sun, mercury
Mercury. 88 earth days.
Mercury because it is closest to the Sun

Its Orbit.Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac Newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.
The forces on the planets are not balanced. The gravitational force between the sun and each planet is what keeps the planet in orbit around the sun. If the forces on a planet were balanced, then the planet would sail off in a straight line, and would never be seen or heard from again.
Yes, All of the planets in our Solar System move around the Sun in elliptical orbits. An ellipse is a shape that can be thought of as a "stretched out" circle or an oval. The Sun is not at the center of the ellipse, as it would be if the orbit were circular. Instead, the Sun is at one of two points called "foci" (which is the plural form of "focus") that are offset from the center. This means that each planet moves closer towards and further away from the Sun during the course of each orbit. The point in the orbit where the planet is closest to the Sun is called "perihelion". The point where the planet is furthest from the Sun is called "aphelion".
The distance that the planet is from the sun determines its orbit and thus how long it takes to complete an orbit.
Yes. A nice example is a planet in orbit around the sun. Even if it were not rotating, it would have angular momentum on account of its curved, closed path.
Mercury.
Yes. The closer an object is to the Sun, the shorter the distance it has to travel to get around it.
Of the known planets, Mercury is the one at the smallest average distance from the sun, and with the shortest orbit.
Mercury...cos it's closest therefore has the shortest orbit
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun thus Mercury has the shortest orbit duration. It takes the planet Mercury 88 days to rotate around the sun.
Mercury. It takes only 88 Earth days to orbit the sun.
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
Mercury has the shortest orbit of all the planets because it is the closest planet to the Sun.
The planet Mercury has the shortest orbit time, because it is the closest to the sun.
In our solar system, the planet Mercury, being closest to the sun, has the shortest orbit, which it completes in only 88 days.
All 8 planets, including dwarf planet Pluto, orbit the Sun. As their distance from the Sun increases, the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun increases as well.
