Because planets have different distanace from the sun.
The outer planets take much more time and also travel longer to complete a whole orbit around the Sun, than the inner ones.
When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.
The planets in our solar system orbit in different planes because they formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust around the young Sun. The angular momentum of this rotating disk caused the planets to form in different planes. Over time, gravitational interactions between the planets and other celestial bodies can further perturb their orbits, leading to even greater differences in orbital inclinations.
Terrestrial planets move faster in their orbits because they are closer to the Sun. Isaac Newton, who discovered the effects of gravity, stated that gravity gets stronger the closer you get to a large, massive body (like the Sun) - and this makes the planets orbit faster than the outer planets, where the force of the Sun's gravity is less. Their orbits are also smaller, so it takes less time for them to go around the Sun.
Pluto has the longest orbit in length as it is further away from the sun than the other planets. If we model the orbit of all the planets as perfect circles, we can see that planets further from the sun give orbits which are larger circles, and larger circle have larger circumferences, which are the longer orbits. Even if the planets orbited at the same speed, Pluto would take longer to orbit as it has further to travel. Pluto doesn't orbit at the same speed as other planets - it orbits more slowly. This means it takes even longer to orbit the sun. It orbits more slowly as it is further out and the sun exerts less of a gravitational force on Pluto than on the other planets, and it is this gravitational force which causes objects to orbit around the sun. In fact, the sun exerts 1600 times as much force on Earth than on Pluto.
Planets have to go in different directions all the time because they all follow orbits that are more or less circular.
They are all orbiting the Sun, "at" the same time.But they don't complete their individual orbits "in" the same time.This is because they are ...* different sizes; * different distances from the Sun; * travelling at different speeds.
No. The planets all orbit the sun at the same time. The planets occupy different orbits at different distances from the sun so they do not affect one another significantly.
It depends what you are referring to. No planet is known as the fastest. Planets rotate at different speeds, their orbits take different amounts of time.

Charon orbits once every time Pluto rotates once. Other moons(including ours)don't do that.
-- 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.
Each planet has a different time phase.

Most of the asteroids spend most of their time between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The planets turn about their axes (rotate), and move in orbits about the sun (revolve). They are all in dynamic motion all the time. Welcome to the music of the spheres. Planets (all of them) are continually in motion. They all revolve on their axes and move about the sun in their orbits. This is the music of the spheres.
