Which planets have longer and shorter years than earth?
Planets closer to the sun than Earth orbit the sun in less than one year (Mercury and Venus), while planets further out from the sun than Earth take longer than a year (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The further out you go, the longer it takes to orbit the sun.
Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?
because the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make one orbit
Are mercury and venus less than or greater than one AU from the Sun?
they are less than
What is the planet that is most similar to the sun?
If we were going to compare any planet to the sun, it would be the gas giant Jupiter. The sun is a couple of hundred times bigger than Jupiter, but the king of the planets is the one that is more similar to the sun than any of the other planets.
What question was Kepler unable to answer?
he wondered if there was a reason that the planets closest to the sun move faster than the planets farther away.
Which planets have longer and shorter years than earth?
Planets closer to the sun than Earth orbit the sun in less than one year (Mercury and Venus), while planets further out from the sun than Earth take longer than a year (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The further out you go, the longer it takes to orbit the sun.
What planets travel around the sun less time than it takes the earth to complete one revolution?
Mercury
Why is one planets air pressure greater than another planets?
It is because some of the planets are farther from the sun
Which planets are less than 1 au?
In our solar system, the planets Mercury and Venus orbit at a distance less than 1 AU. Since the Earth orbits at an "average" distance of one astronomical unit, you might also argue that Earth, owing to orbital eccentricity, sometimes is closer to the Sun than one AU.
Are there other suns with planets?
there is only one sun in the solar system A Sun is just a star with more than 5 or six planets
Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?
because the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make one orbit
Is Jupiter less than 8 percent of the sun's mass?
FAR less. Of all the mass in the solar system, the Sun is 99.5% of it. All the rest - Jupiter included - is one half of one percent of the solar system's mass.
How long does it take an object to go around the sun?
Depends on distance Earth takes one year The two closer planets (Mercury and Venus) take less than a year The other planets take more than a year
What planet travels around the sun in less time than it take earth to complete one orbit?
it is the 2 planets that are before the earth mercury and venus
What planets are heated by the sun?
all of our planets are heated by the sun. some more, some less! the hottest one would be mercury - being the closest and the coldest one theoretically would be Neptune. Hope this helps
Are mercury and venus less than or greater than one AU from the Sun?
they are less than
Does a comet orbit anything?
Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
