What planets' years are less than a earth's day?
There are no solar planets that orbit the Sun in less than 24 hours. The closest, Mercury, takes about 88 days to orbit the Sun.
Which of the planets take less than a year to orbit the sun?
The two closer to the sun than the earth, mercury and Venus. The further you go out from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit it.
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
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.
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 do planets have different numbers of days in their years?
Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.
Which of planets takes a longer time than Uranus to revolve around the Sun?
Neptune is the only planet that takes longer than Uranus to orbit the Sun.
When does Neptune orbit the Sun fastest?
Neptune orbits the Sun (as do most planets) with an elliptical orbit. When the orbit takes the planet closest to the Sun it is moving faster than when it is furthest from the Sun when on an elliptical orbit.
What planets make one revolution around the sun in mor than one earth year?
I think it is Neptune. That's the answer, but I think Neptune takes just a bit less than 60,000 days. NASA's "planet facts" web page gives the orbit period as 59,800 days.
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.
Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Because gravity is stronger as it gets closer to the planet it is orbiting. and orbits are caused by the gravity of the planit they are rotating.
Which planets take less than a year 2 orbit the sun?
Mercury and Venus take less time to orbit the Sun than the Earth does. ummm...if you need 5 then...earth, venus, mercury, mars and jupiter
