Because Mercury is so much more closer to the Sun than Pluto is. It appears that Mercury is moving faster because it's orbit around the sun is a lot smaller, they could both be moving at the same speed and it would still take Pluto a lot longer to complete it's orbit.
Compare to 2 runners running laps on two different tracks.
One track is one mile around, the other four miles around.
They both start at the same time and at the same speed, say four miles an hour.
While the runner on the four mile track has done one lap, the runner on the one mile track has done four laps, as is the same for Mercury and Pluto.
Because of the size of tracks and orbits it appears that one is moving faster than the other, but they have both covered the same distance at the same speed. Because of it's shorter "lap", Mercury will complete 1008.59 laps before Pluto completes it's first.
Mercury orbits the sun quicker than Neptune because Mercury is closer to the sun than Neptune. Mercury then doesn't have such a large circumference of the sun to orbit than Neptune. Mercury is the first planet in the solar system, and Neptune is 8th.
Because it is closest to the Sun.
Kepler (and later Newton's work) showed that planets orbit faster when they are nearer to the Sun
because it is smaller
It is in a higher orbit
The planet Mercury orbits the sun the fastest because it is the closest.
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
Orbiting faster than any planet in our Solar System, Mercury goes around the Sun about every 88 Earth days. it is also the smallest planet, and the closest to the Sun. Mercury has no known satellites. Venus orbits the Sun about every 224.7 Earth days. It is the second-closest planet to the Sun, and also has no known satellites.
Mercury has no twin planet, it is not really like any of the other planets.
Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the time taken for a planet to revolve around the sun (or its period) is proportional to its distance from the sun. Therefore the closer the planet is to the sun, the faster its orbit. So the answer is: the closest planet to the sun which is......Mercury.
The planet Mercury orbits the sun the fastest because it is the closest.
The fastest is Mercury.
Mercury.
Mercury.
the fastest planet that orbit's the sun is mercury.
Mercury is the Speediest planet in our solar system.
Mercury is a planet itself, and it does not have any planets to it.
Planets are not typically characterized in terms of gender.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Mercury is the eighth largest planet. Mercury has a least 1 moon.
Mercury doesn't "have planets".
Mercury, because the closer the planet, the faster it moves.
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
