Why does it take the pouter 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.
How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?
well think about it the planets closer to the sun have the fastest orbit so knowing that the planets are already in order from shortest to longest orbit.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Why does it take so long to reach planets?
because it is far

What do the planets orbit the sun?
So that the planets do not burn up.

Why does moons orbit the planets?
because the planets' gravity pull them so that they do not go away and the moons revolve around them with a constant speed so they stay in their orbit
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.
Why do the plantes orbit the sun?
why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.
Why does it take so long to reach planets?
because it is far
Why does pluto take so long to orbit the earth?
No answer Pluto orbits the Sun Pluto does not orbit the Earth
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.
