Plantes differ in there speed around the sun because they are all different distances from the sun. The closest planet to the sun in our solar system takes much less time then the farthest because it has much less distance to go.

The planets revolution from the sun?

Depends on the mass of the planet, its speed and the mass of the sun. Our planets revolve because they have the right speed and mass to revolve steadily.


Why do planets differ in their temperature?

The main factor that affect their temperature are... their proximity to the sun - and their speed of rotation.


Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?

A planet has an elliptical shaped orbit. It orbits with a constant angular speed, but a varying linear speed.


Why do planets differ in their orbital speed?

Because according to Kepler's laws the orbital speed of a planet is proportional to the square root of the reciprocal of the distance: v = d-½.

Do planets orbit around the sun at the same speed?

No. The farther away you get from the sun, the slower the planets orbit. (and the sun looks smaller!). By the way, even if the planets were all moving at the same speed, they still wouldn't be lined up, because the distances traveled by planets with each revolution around the sun would be different. Therefore this question is reasonable. (this is another person) they do orbit more slowly, Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the larger the mass of the two objects and the closer together the objects are, the greater the force of gravity between the two objects.


How are all of the planets kept in orbit around the sun?

all the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space , that speed dosen't slow down.


Why do the 4 inner planets revolve around the sun at a faster speed?

Their closer to the sun.


What is Jupiter's revolution speed?

Jupiter's average revolution speed is 3.06 kilometers per second. It takes Jupiter 12 years to orbit once around the Sun.


Why a moon does not float in space?

A moon does not float in space because of the gravitational force of the planet around which the moon in question orbits. Although moons differ in size and in orbital speed, among other considerations, all are as it were "stuck" to their planets by gravitational pull.
