Jupiter is farther away from the sun and has less gravitational pull from it than earth , if it went faster it would leave the solar system. and it is because it is the biggest planet on earth so it needs more force to move it around faster

Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
