The speed at which planets travel in their orbits depends on their distance from the sun and their mass. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets closer to the sun orbit at higher speeds because they experience a stronger gravitational pull. Additionally, planets with less mass also tend to move faster as they are less influenced by the gravitational pull of the sun.

Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?

The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.


Do the other planets spin?

All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.


How much mass do Planets have?

It depends on the planet. Some planets, like Jupiter, are made from gas. While others, like Earth, are rocky planets.


Why is why is there gravity on some planets but not on others?

There is gravity on all planets. The strength of that gravity varies depending on the size and mass of each planet.


Which planet don't have mass?

All planets have mass, but some have more than others.

Why do some gases travel faster than others?

some gases travel faster than other gases due to the gases density and the energy of the medium that the gase is traveling through.


Why does the length of a day and year vary from planet to planet?

Some planets rotate faster or than others. Also the planets take different times to orbit the Sun.


Do other planets rotate?

Yes, some faster than others. In fact, virtually all spacial bodies rotate.


Why is the length of day and night vary from planet to planet?

Because of the difference of speed the planet is spinning, for example Neptune spins in speed greater than 2000 kph so its day and night is fast.That simply means that some planets rotate faster than others.


Does Uranus spin like a spinning ball?

Yes, all planets spin like spinning balls, some faster than others, however.


Where do space probes go?

Anywhere. Some go to and join the orbits of specific planets or systems, and others travel endlessly throughout space.


Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
