Yes, it has to do with the sun's gravitational pull.

How long does it take for a planet to complete one turn?
It depends on which one. Ours is 24 hours, but a day is different elsewhere dependant on size & rate of rotation
Which planet is the typical size planet?
There isn't a typical size planet
What does the size of the orbit of a planet depend on?
The planet's depends on the distance of the planet from the sun
Planet is the same size as Pluto?
Their is no planet the same size as Pluto, Mercury is slightly bigger than Pluto. As for other objects in the solar system, the dwarf planet Eris and Neptune's moon Triton are close in size to Pluto.
What an orbit is and what factors affect the size speed and time period of an orbit?
An orbit is the path followed by a planet according to Kepler's laws, which are very accurate but not exact. Size, speed and period are all related by simple formulas so that if you know one you can find out the other two. The orbit is an ellipse and the size is usually measured by its mean radius, also called its semi-major axis, which is the average of the maximum and minimum distances. For the Earth that is 149.6 million kilometres. The orbital period is proportional to the mean radius to the power 1.5, while the orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the mean radius.
How do Jupiter's density and period of rotation compare to Earth's?
Jupiter is less dense and has a shorter period of rotation.
Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
Does the size of the planet affect its atmosphere?
Yes
How long does it take Jupiter to spin 1 period of rotation?
jupiter is the fastest spinning planet. despite the large size, it only takes 9 hours and 55 minutes to do a full rotation. this meaning the surface is moving at 45,000 km/h.
Does the size of a planet affect the moons of a planet?
yes it does cause i got that in my essay
Does he size of the planet seem to affect how many moons it has?
yes
Does the size of a core of a planet affect seismic activity on the surface?
yes
How does the size of a planet affect the mass of a person?
It does not. Mass is independent of where an object is. Weight, however, will vary in direct proportion to the planet's gravity.
Explain how soil particle size would affect infiltration during a period of heavy rain?
Size matters
Does the size of a planet affect the time it takes to go around the sun?
no because the planet dose not go fast or slow about its weight it depens on the revalvtation.
How are the size and the orientation of the triangle affected by the rotation?
The size does not change and the orientation is altered by the extent of the rotation.
Planets do not collide into one another because?
Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.
