The Sun spins more than 4 times as fast (at its equator) as the Earth does. The Sun's speed is 7189 km/hr (4467 mph) compared to Earth at 1674 km/hr (1040 mph).

Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
What planets orbit is closest to Earth?
Mars and Venus orbit closest to the earth in the order sunward to rimward: Venus, Earth, Mars.
What two planets are next to the earth?
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
How fast do the satellites orbit the earth?
Faster than you
How long is Venus year?
Venus rotates VERY slowly. Each day on Venus takes 243 Earth days. A year on Venus takes 224.7 Earth days. It takes 224.7 Earth days for Venus to orbit the sun once. The same side of Venus always faces Earth when the Earth and Venus are closest together.
Which two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
What two planets orbit the sun faster than earth?
Mercury and Venus
Why does it take Venus quicker than earth to orbit the sun?
Because Venus has less distance to travel, and it has a faster orbital speed than the Earth.
Is earth orbit smaller than Venus orbit?
No. Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun; Earth is #3.
Is venus orbit smaller than that of earth?
In distance, Venus has a smaller distance to travel than The Earth
Why is Mercury's and Venus's period of orbit less than earth's?
Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth. As a result, they have a shorter way to travel, for a complete orbit around the Sun. Besides, they also go faster - this is also related to their smaller distance from the Sun.
What planets orbit is closest to Earth?
Mars and Venus orbit closest to the earth in the order sunward to rimward: Venus, Earth, Mars.
Why is a year longer or shorter on Venus then on Earth?
A year is shorter on Venus than on Earth. A year is the time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun. Venus has a smaller orbit and a higher orbital speed.
Why is a year on venus shorter then a year on earth?
A year is shorter on Venus than on Earth. A year is the time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun. Venus has a smaller orbit and a higher orbital speed.
What two planets are next to the earth?
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
How fast do the satellites orbit the earth?
Faster than you
Is the orbit of Mars closer to Earth than the orbit of Venus?
No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
