The order of the planets closest to the sun to furthest away gives you the order of planets starting with the shortest orbit time to the longest orbit time. This is due to Kepler's third law, which states that the orbit time increases as the distance from the sun increases. Mercury is the closest planet, therefore it has the shortest orbit time. Next is Venus, then Earth, then Mars, then Jupiter, then Saturn, then Uranus, and finally Neptune, because it is the farthest away from the sun.

How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?

The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.


Outer planets have smaller orbital periods than inner planets?

They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.

Which planets has the longest year and which planet has the shortest?

(The year is proportional to the distance to the power 1.5) In our solar system, Mercury has the shortest year. Neptune has the longest.


What planets orbit the sun from least orbit time to greater orbit time?

All 8 planets, including dwarf planet Pluto, orbit the Sun. As their distance from the Sun increases, the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun increases as well.

What characteristics define inner and outer planets?

Inner planets are typically rocky, smaller in size, have shorter orbital periods, and lack rings. Outer planets are gaseous or icy, larger in size, have longer orbital periods, and possess rings and many moons. Additionally, inner planets are closer to the Sun, while outer planets are farther away.


Which planets takes longest revolution around the sun?

Neptune takes the longest time to orbit the Sun, with an orbital period of about 165 years.


What planets moon takes the shortest time to orbit?

the smallest planets moon probably because it has the least amount of way to go


Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?

Planets that are farther from the sun have longer orbital periods due to the influence of gravity. The gravitational force between the sun and a planet decreases with distance, so planets farther out experience weaker gravitational pulls, resulting in slower orbital speeds. This explains why outer planets like Neptune have longer orbital periods compared to inner planets like Mercury.


How are the speeds and orbit times of the planets affected by it?

As it increases, the orbital speed increases, and the period (time to complete an orbit) decreases, which is why Mercury has the shortest year, and Neptune the slowest orbital speed.
