What happens to length of time it takes the planets to orbit the sun as they get further away?
The time gets longer. That's because the planets travel more slowly and they also have further to travel. The mathematical formula for this is in "Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion".
Why do all the planets orbit at different times?
it's something to do with the size of the planets it nothing to do with weight because everything in space is weightless. i think its also to do with how far away from the sun they are because the further away planets have less gravity pull from the sun. tbh I'm not really sure... sorry i can't help more than that.

Stars are smaller than the moon because they are further away. They're not actually smaller, its just because they are so far away. Stars are actually very large.
What causes Jupiter to look the same size as mars from earth?
This is a function of distance - an object appears smaller the further away it is. Although Jupiter is many times the size of Mars, the two planets appear to be about the same size because Jupiter is also much further away from Earth than Mars is.
What do outer planets have in common?
Outer planets are gas planets and they are outside the astroid belt and are further away from the sun.
