making it take longer to go around the sun if Pluto was closer it wouldn't take so long to go around the sun we would be dead before Pluto makes it completely around the sun it's on it's first year now anyways.
the closer you are to the sun it affects the planets speed cause of the suns gravitational pull
Since the gravitational effect of the Sun decreases with distance from it, the planets farther from the Sun do not have to move as rapidly to remain in orbit. (In fact, the speed is what establishes the orbit, not the other way around.) So the outer planets, in addition to having much farther to travel in their orbits, are also moving more slowly. This combination means that outer planets take very much longer to orbit the Sun than do the inner planets such as Earth. By comparison, the length of time it takes (in Earth years) for each of the outer planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun: Jupiter - 11.9 Earth years Saturn - 29.5 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 165 Earth years
The speed of a planet varies with the distance from the Sun according to Kepler's Third Law, so that the planets closer to the Sun have higher orbital velocities.

No. The the planets closest to the sun orbit the fastest. Mercury, the first planet from the sun orbits at about 107,000 mph. Earth orbits at about 65,000 mph, and Neptune, the farthest planet, orbits at about 12,000 mph.
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.

The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
The speed that an object travels in its orbit depends on its distance from the sun. That's how gravity works.
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.

To be in a perfect orbit around the Sun, maintaining always the same distance, at a specific distance a planet would need a very specific speed. Since it is unlikely that it just happens to have the correct speed, it will move around the Sun in an ellipse instead.
Yes. Gravity affects EVERYTHING.
5.43 km per second.
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
The gravity of the star is usually many times larger than the planets due to the overwhelming mass of the star in comparison. The planets do have a gravitational pull of their own though, which has an effect on the star it is orbiting. It will cause the star to move slightly off centre as it pulls on the star during its orbit. The bigger the planet, the bigger the pull. By looking at distance stars, astronomers can see the effects of planets by observing a 'wobble' in the star as the unseen planets orbits it. They can then calculate the size of the planet and distance by the size and speed of the wobble.
