Which planets have years longer than one earth year?
All planets with a greater orbit than the Earth.MarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
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.
Why do some planets take longer to orbit the sun than others?
because some planets are closer to the sun than others and there are various other reasons and some may not be true
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.
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.
How is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.

What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.

Why is planet Mercury the fastest in its orbit?
Because it is nearer to the Sun than all of the other planets. Its orbit is inside that of all of the other planets, so it shorter.
Why do some plants have longer years than earth?
A year for a planet is the time it takes for that planet to orbit the sun. Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away from the sun than Earth, so those planets have a farther distance to cover to orbit the sun once than the Earth does.
Why does it take Pluto the longest time to make a complete revolution 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.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Do planets obit the sun?
Eight planets orbit our sun. More than a thousand planets far beyond our solar system are known to orbit other stars.
