The time it takes to get from one planet to another depends on the departure and arrival planets. It can take about two years to get from Earth to Mars where it will take about six years to get from Earth to Jupiter.

How many years does it take to get to all the planets?

The time it takes to reach each planet varies based on its distance from Earth and the speed of the spacecraft. On average, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years to reach the planets in our solar system. For example, a trip to Mars can take around 6-9 months, while a journey to Neptune could take over 10 years.


What happens when the planets align?

Actually it wont be "nothing major". When all of the planets line up it will effect the earths temperature,the moons (resorting in water effects) and other natural disasters ie.earthquakes,volcanoes erupting,tornados,hurricanes etc... The year of 2012 will have the next planet allignment...according to scientist this will take place during 21st of December,the same day the mayans predicted the world to end (or the end of Mayan calander).


Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


How many days does it take the sun to rotate around the poles?

it cant cause all the other planets moove around it.


How many planets are near us?

No one knows for sure.If we take our current solar system and extrapolate it to the number of stars and galaxies in the Universe then we have about 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible planets.The number of "known" planets is increasing daily but it will be millions, possibly billions of years till we have a better estimate.

How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?

Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.


How many years does it take from eath to Ceres?

It takes about 2.5 to 3 years for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Ceres, depending on the specific trajectory used and the position of the planets during the launch window.

Which among the planets in your solar system is the oldest?

In all probability, all the planets are about the same age. They formed around the same time as all of the other planets give or take a few million years.


Why does it take so long for the outer planets to orbit?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun due to their greater distance from it. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the time it takes for a planet to complete an orbit increases with the radius of that orbit. As a result, the gravitational pull from the Sun weakens with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for these distant planets. Consequently, planets like Neptune and Uranus take many Earth years to complete a single orbit.

How many days are a year on the dwarf planets?

There is no constant year length for planets, dwarf type or otherwise. A planet's period (year length) depends entirely upon how long it take to orbit its star. Depending on the planet and its situation, that might take a matter of a few days, or a few years, or even centuries.
