because gravity of the sun kicks in and makes them go faster but they do not get pulled into the sun and burn up because of inerta, ( the tendny of a stainry object to stay in place and a moving object to remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
They also have less distance to cover.
Gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it must move to keep from falling into the sun. So note; the closer in; the smaller the orbit AND the faster the speed.
moons go around planets and the sun
The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it revolves around the sun, so Mercury and Venus take less time to go around the sun than Earth, and Mars and the gas giants take longer.
Terrestrial planets move faster in their orbits because they are closer to the Sun. Isaac Newton, who discovered the effects of gravity, stated that gravity gets stronger the closer you get to a large, massive body (like the Sun) - and this makes the planets orbit faster than the outer planets, where the force of the Sun's gravity is less. Their orbits are also smaller, so it takes less time for them to go around the Sun.
Here are the planets that we know. Round and round the sun they go. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These are the planets near our star. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, too. Neptune, Pluto, we can't see you. The sun in the middle. It's a hot burning star, These are the planets and the sun, Horah!!!
since it is closer to the sun it gets around the sun faster cause it has less of a rotation to go around Mercury only has 88 days in a year cause its closer but since were farther we have 365 days in a year
Yes! The closer planets are to the sun the faster they go. Since Murcury is closest, it is the fastest.
There are eight planets that go around the sun.
Because of the Sun's gravity.

The time it takes for the Earth and other planets to go around the sun is mainly influenced by their distance from the sun. Closer planets have shorter orbital periods due to the stronger gravitational pull of the sun, while farther planets have longer orbital periods due to weaker gravitational forces. This relationship is described by Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion.
Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.
