The speed that an object travels in its orbit depends on

its distance from the sun. That's how gravity works.

Why do planets finish their orbits at different times?

because they all have different rotation speed


Do the speed of the planets decrease when they are far from the sun?

They are going faster so they are farther from the sun.


What is the speed of planets?

The speed of planets will vary as they travel at different speeds. Mercury is the fastest planet while Pluto is the slowest. The speed of the planets is influenced by how close they are to the sun.


Why do different planets have different length orbits?

Different planets have different length orbits because they are at varying distances from the sun. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete an orbit. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun, which affects the speed at which planets travel around it.


How are other planets different?

The other planets are different from the earth in various ways. This includes distances from the sun, size, rotational speed, element composition and so much more.


Do the planets travel at the same speed?

No, planets do not all travel at the same speed. The speed at which a planet moves in its orbit around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and its mass. Closer planets tend to move faster than those further away.


Why do you think planets do not have same orbits?

It's because each planets is a collection of all the debris that was going round in a similar orbit before the planets were formed. So the planets only survived to the present day by having different orbits.


How much speed required to go against gravity?

Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth. This "escape velocity" is different for different planets, moons, etc.Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth.

its not different at all they are just outer planets


Diagram of the speed of lights to all the planets?

There is not much to diagram there. The speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 kilometers per second in all cases.


Why do different planets have different orbit times around the sun?

Different planets have different orbit times around the sun because they are at varying distances from the sun. Planets that are closer to the sun, like Mercury, have shorter orbit times, while planets that are farther away, like Neptune, have longer orbit times due to the gravitational pull of the sun affecting their speed of revolution.


Does the speed of light change on different planets?

The speed of light in empty space is constant, i.e., always the same. However, the speed of light in another medium can change. So, if a planet has a denser atmosphere than Earth, the speed of light will probably be slightly less than here.
