Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.

Why do planets complete their orbits at different time?
Because planets have different distanace from the sun.
Is the orbit of each planet a ellipse?
All the planets have elliptical orbits but Uranus and Neptune have slightly different orbits than other planets on solar system.
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.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Why do planets complete their orbits at different time?
Because planets have different distanace from the sun.
Which is determined by the force of gravity?
-- Your weight is, as long as you're standing on the Earth or some other planet, but it's different in different places. -- Also, the speed of the moons, comets, asteroids and planets in their orbits, and also the length of time it takes them to revolve in their orbits.
Is the orbit of each planet a ellipse?
All the planets have elliptical orbits but Uranus and Neptune have slightly different orbits than other planets on solar system.
Why do planets finish their orbits at different times?
because they all have different rotation speed
Why are dwarf planets different?
Dwarf planets are very small and usually have much more elliptical orbits than normal planets.
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 is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.
Why don't planets collide?
All the planets are in stable orbits around the sun and never come close enough to be significantly affected by each other's gravity.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
Why do planets move in different direction?
Planets have to go in different directions all the time because they all follow orbits that are more or less circular.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Which two planets overlap?
The two planets with overlapping orbits are Neptune and Pluto. These are the only two planets that have overlapping orbits.
