Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion gives the mathematical formula for this.

Isaac newton proved the Law follows from his theory of gravitation.

I will not go into the mathematics, but basically it's just how gravity works with planets.

Do all planets take the same time to orbit the sun?

"No"


Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?

Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.


How many moons do the suns have?

The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.


Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?

The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.

Does the sun orbit the planets?

No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.


Why do planets take different times to orbit the sun?

Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion gives the mathematical formula for this. Isaac Newton proved the Law follows from his theory of gravitation. I will not go into the mathematics, but basically it's just how gravity works with planets.


What is meant by orbital time?

It is the time in which planets orbit the sun.


Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


What do the planets and the sun orbit?

the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.


Do planets take turns orbiting?

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.


What is the relationship between the period of revolution and distance from the sun?

The period of revolution of a planet (time taken to complete one orbit around the sun) is directly proportional to its average distance from the sun. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Planets that are farther from the sun take longer to complete an orbit compared to planets that are closer to the sun.
