Each planet orbits the Sun in what is referred to as their year. Because they are moving a different speeds and are at different distances, the length of time will vary. The Earth makes one revolution in what we call a year (365.25 days).
Mercury is the shortest, taking a little under 88 Earth days to make a revolution.
Neptune is the longest taking almost 165 Earth Years to make a revolution.
The others, in terms of Earth years:
Venus - 0.61 years (224.7 days)
Mars - 1.88 years (687 days)
Jupiter - 11.86 years (4332.6 days)
Saturn - 29.46 years (10759.2 days)
Uranus - 84.32 years (30799 days)
a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.
A revolution is how long a planet takes to orbit the sun.
It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit the Sun. This period of time is known as a year.
The eight planets are in order in their various places. If a planet is closer to the Sun, it will have a shorter orbit and therefore will take less time to complete its orbit. If a planet is farther away from the Sun, it will have a longer orbit and will take more time to complete its orbit. For example, Earth, the third planet from the Sun and takes just a year to revolutionize it, but since Uranus, the seventh planet, is farther away from the Sun, it will take 81 years to complete its orbit.
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
Do you mean how long does it take Mercury to orbit the sun ? 87.969 days
Mercury's orbit of the sun takes 87.969 days.

How many days does it take Saturn the planet to orbit the sun? How many days does it take Saturn the planet to orbit the sun?
10000 miles away from earth
309 years
365.25 days (approx.)
Planet Xena, also known as Eris, takes about 557 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun.

It takes Earth approximately 365.25 days to orbit the sun once, which we refer to as a year.
The dwarf planet 1 Ceres orbits around the Sun once in 4.6 years.
Neptune. Because it was the farthest planet from the sun. So its orbit's length is long.
