What year will Neptune become the ninth planet again?
The IAU no longer regards Pluto as a planet so Neptunewill forever be our 8th planet even when it is farther from the sun than Pluto. However it will be another 230 years before Neptune is farther from the Sun than Pluto
How does a year on earth differ with other planets?
A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets, and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.
Which planets have a greater period than one earth year those closer to the sun than to the earth or those farther from the sun than from the earth?
The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to revolve around it.
What planet are scientist saying is not a planet?
Pluto is the planet that scientist are saying is not a planet. Scientists are not saying any particular planet is not a planet. Simply that Pluto has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Which planet is before Pluto?
the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet farther than Pluto is Eris the planet further than neptune is nothing in our solar system but out of our solar system it,s Eris
Does Jupiter have a longer year then Uranus?
No. Uranus is farther from the sun. The farther from the sun a planet is, the longer it's "year".
Does the distance from the sun affect how long a year is on that planet?
a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.
What happens if a planet is farther from the sun it is longer to complete what?
revolution =D
What planet has longer days than a year?
the farther away from the sun the day must be longer.
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of a year on that planet?
Yes, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.
How are the length of a planet year and planet distance from the sun?
A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
Why is each planets year different?
The farther the planet the longer it takes to complete 1 orbit, therefore it's year is longer.
How is the distance of a planet from the sun related to its period of revolution?
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
Earth is farthest from the sun?
No, Earth is third in line, Pluto is last but now scientist think there is another planet farther away.
When was it discovered Pluto is not a planet?
It wasn't discovered to not be a planet, it was decided to no longer be a planet. Recently, the last 2 or 3 years scientist decided (not all) it was not an official planet.
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
How does the time taken to complete an orbit change in a planet if the distance from the sun increases?
The farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make an orbit. It would take more than one year if the planet was farther away from the sun than Earth.
