The gas giants, the four planets farthest from the Sun, do spin faster than the inner planets.
However, rotational speed has almost nothing to do with the distance a planet is from the sun. Having said that, both the Sun and the Moon are responsible for the tides of the oceans which are still slowing the Earth down ever so slightly. The extremely slow rotation of Venus would have had other causes.
The rotational speeds of planets are the product of 4½ billion years of events. The angular momentum of the protostellar disc would have been transferred to growing planets. In the case of the gas giants, the tidal effects at their great distance from the Sun are extremely small compared to their masses. So they are still spinning vigorously. Even Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is not rapidly losing its spin.

What did the planets near the sun lose because of the sun's temperature?
Planets near the sun likely lost lighter elements like hydrogen and helium due to the sun's high temperature and solar wind. These elements were blown away, leaving behind the heavier elements that make up the terrestrial planets closer to the sun.
Which stars near the moon are planets?
Stars near the Moon are not planets. Planets in our solar system, such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, are sometimes visible near the Moon depending on their position in their orbits, but they are not stars. Stars are celestial objects that generate their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets do not emit light but instead reflect light from the Sun.
Is the sun near the earth planet?
The sun is very near to The Planet Earth because Earth is the third planet from the sun.
What order are the planets and bodies moving away from the sun?
I know the order of the planets going from near the sun to farther away, it is... Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto. An easy way to remember this is... Many Vile Earthlings Munch Jam Sandwiches Under Newspaper Piles!!!! You relate each letter for the start of a word with a planes, for example, Piles=Pluto and Jam=Jupiter! Simple! I hope I helped you!
Why is Jupiter an outer planet?
Because it formed in the outer part (further away) area of the solar system. Also because it is past the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter, therefor all planets past it is consiterd an outer planet
How are planets near the sun different from the planets father away?
Because planets near the sun are more hotter
Why is the air cooler near the ocean than it is away from the ocean?
Because water heats slower. So if you were on land it would heat up alot faster than if you were swimming in the ocean.Because water heats slower. So if you were on land it would heat up alot faster than if you were swimming in the ocean.
How do planets revolve around the sun in the same oval or circle shape every year?
Gravity from the sun pulls the planets near it and away from it ad away foer it
What planets has the most stars around it?
Because the stars are relatively so far away, all planets of this solar system have the same number of stars near them.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giants differ from those on Earth?
This is a hard question...but the answer is:the gas giants are further away,so the the sun has less gravity power on the gas planets,so the revolution is slower than the inner planets (including Earth). However, the rotation period is faster than Earth. Jupiter's is 9h 55m, Saturn's is 10h 38m, Uranus' is 17h 14m, and Neptune's is 16h 6m.
Why does some planets have rings round them?
Most rings are made of ice. Therefore the planets that are father away from the sun are colder than the ones near the sun. Ice will form rings around the planets.
Was the cathode ray slower than the speed of light?
No, the cathode ray is faster than the speed of light.
In one monthEarth travels about how many miles?
earth's orbit is elliptical with sun at its focus. when earth reach near to it ,earth travel faster and when far away its slower . therefore answer will depend on the which month you are considering. acc. to kleepner law area swept in a particular time is same.
How many planets are near the solar system?
There are 9 Planets near are Solar System.
What did the planets near the sun lose because of the sun's temperature?

Why are stars brighter than planets?
They are a lot closer than the stars. The nearest star, Alpha Proxima is 4 light years away. The planets are at most a few light hours away. Although they don't emit light, several of them have cloudy or sandy surfaces, making them highly reflective of sunlight. Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.
Which planets are near Eris?
