Planet with fastest orbiting speed in your solar system?

Answer 1

Please note that "fastest" can be interpreted two ways: the actual speed a planet is traveling around the sun, or the actual time required for a given planet to complete it's orbit around the sun. In the first case, the larger a planet is, the greater it's mass and therefore the higher it's speed. One of the gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn being hundreds of times times larger than the inner planets like earth is traveling at immense speed. In the second case, the closer a planet is to the sun the shorter it's orbit will be and generally the faster it's trip will be. The planet closest to the sun and having the shortest obit around it is Mercury.

Answer 2

The fastest orbiting planet in our Solar System is Mercury. It has an orbital period of approx. 88 Earth days (about 3 Earth months), because it is closest to the Sun and has to travel a relatively short distance in order to make a full revolution.

FACT: Mercury's fast orbital period is the reason it was named by the Romans after the god who was a messenger to the gods.

Answer 3

The object orbiting the sun most quickly is the planet Mercury, which is the closest of the planets to our resident star.
