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).
Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Jupiter, Saturn Uranus and Neptune all complete one rotation in less than a day.
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.
Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun than Earth. That is where the phrase "third rock from the sun" originates.
Faster than you
Mercury and Venus orbit the sun faster than Earth. Mercury has the shortest orbit at around 88 Earth days, while Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Mercury and Venus
Because Venus has less distance to travel, and it has a faster orbital speed than the Earth.
No. Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun; Earth is #3.
In distance, Venus has a smaller distance to travel than The Earth
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.
Venus' day is longer than its year. It takes approximately 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one rotation on its axis, while it takes about 225 Earth days for Venus to orbit the Sun. This results in Venus having a day that is about 18 Earth days shorter than its year.
Jupiter, Saturn Uranus and Neptune all complete one rotation in less than a day.
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.
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.
