The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to revolve around it.

Why might the solar wind have a stonger effect on inner planets than on outer planets?
Because they are closer to the sun and so they get the most of it so by the time it gets to the outer planets they get very little of the solar wind ms.Pribils 3rd period student
What are three ways that planets like mercury is different from a planet like neptune?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These have much smaller diameters than the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) The inner planets have higher densities than the outer planets, despite being smaller and much lower in mass. The inner planets have a clearly defined surface. The inner planets are warmer and are much closer to the sun. The closer to the sun the planet is, the shorter its orbit period.
Are inner planets large or small?
The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.
Do the inner or outer planets have the longest rotation period?
outer planets.
Compare and contrast Pluto with the outer planets?
Pluto is more like an inner planet and is very cold, the outer planets are gas. The outer planets are cold Pluto.Aside from being, on average, the farthest planet from the Sun, Pluto and its orbit have several characteristics that make it unique. Its greater distance means its orbital period of 248 years is the longest of all planets. Its orbit has the highest eccentricity, which means that its distance from the Sun varies more than other planets. Its orbit is so far from circular that it can actually be closer to the Sun than Neptune at times.The plane of Pluto's orbit is also tilted the most compared to the rest, taking it further north and south of the Earth's orbital plane than the otherplanets.
Why a planet farther from the sun has a longer period of revolution than a planet closer to the sun?
Because they have a larger distance to cover in their revolution. It's like they have a bigger circle to go around, planets closer have a smaller circle to rotate around.
How is the period of revolution of a planets related to its distance from the sun?
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
Do planets get bigger as they get farther away from the sun?
The Planets can just keep building up over a period of time and just keep collecting stuff.
Why is 0.2 greater than 0.02?
yes because .2 closer to the period.
Why does mercury have the shortest period?
Because it is closer to the sun so has a shorter orbit path than the other planets
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
Why might the solar wind have a stonger effect on inner planets than on outer planets?

Do earth and mars get closer every year?
They come closer together, then farther apart, and then closer, with a period of 26 months. The "closest" that Mars ever comes to Earth is about 38 million miles, and the farthest apart is about 240 million miles when we are on opposite sides of the Sun.

The What period of sunlight is one reson summer is warmer than winter?
Summer, because the Earth is on an ellipse and the Sun is not centered. Therefore, the Sun is farther in the Winter and closer in the Summer.
Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
The rotational period of the inner planets is much faster than the rotational period of the outer planets. The rotation of some planets takes years to complete.
