How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
I'm not sure if you want a more detailed answer than this, but the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete its orbit, since a complete orbit traverses far longer distances when a planet is far from the sun. Although planetary orbits are actually elliptical, thinking of them as circles will simplify the principle involved: if the distance from the earth to the sun is a distance of one, and the distance from Jupiter to the sun is five, the "circular" orbit for the earth would be 2(pi)one = about 6.3 units, while the distance for the earth would be 2(pi)five = about 32 units.
The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.
Mercury's Minimum Distance from Sun is------46.0 million km Mercury's Maximum Distance from Sun is------69.8 million km Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. It orbits at a distance that averages less than four-tenths as far as the distance from the Earth to the sun.
The size of a planet is not related to it's distance from the sun. Planet mass and orbital velocity are factors that determine it's distance from the sun.
On average, the distance between the earth and the sun is 93 million miles.
Pluto is the slowest planet to move around the sun, because of its far distance.
When a planet is far from the sun, its orbit tends to be elongated or more elliptical, resulting in a larger distance between the planet and the sun at its farthest point (aphelion) and a closer distance at its nearest point (perihelion). This type of orbit is known as a "farthest point" or "distant" orbit.
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.

Saturn, Its mean distance is 9.53 AU, where one AU (Astronomical Unit) is the earth to sun distance.
The Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, with an average distance of about 230 million kilometers. Its orbit is considered unusual compared to Earth's due to its more elongated shape and varying distance from the sun, leading to significant temperature variations on the planet.
The Sun is the Sun and therefore the is no distance between it and itself.
There is no planet that can be described as "about as far" from the Sun as Mercury. It's the planet closest to the Sun, and the only other planet closer to the Sun than Earth is Venus, which is about twice the distance away from the Sun compared to Mercury. Considering that's a difference of roughly 51,000,000 km (0.32 AU, 1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun), that's one hell of a long way away. Still, it's closer than any other planet (however, even the Sun is closer to Mercury than Venus).
Venus is 0.723332 AU (semi-major axis) from the Sun.
A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.
