Which planets day is half as long as its year?
Venus or Mercury, depending on the definition of "day" used. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars (a "sidereal day"). It takes Venus 224.7 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its year). However, a "solar day" is only 116.75 Earth days long due to the combination of rotation time, orbit time and spin direction. (Venus spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.)Mercury has a "sidereal day" of about 58.6 Earth days and a year of about 88 Earth days.
What does 29.5 earth years mean?
Earth measures its days to be 24 hours and has 365 days in a year (366 on leap-year). This is based off of the Earth's orbit and rotation around the sun. All the other planets have different rates at which they spin on their axes, and different lengths of time for them to complete their orbit around the sun.
Which planet takes the least time to revolve around the sun?
mercury, it only takes 88 days. The closer the planet is to the parent star (sun in our case) the less time it takes to complete one orbit. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the planet to take the shortest time to orbit it.
List the planets and their orbital periods from shortest to longest?
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 the planets to orbit around the sun?
The time taken by planets to orbit the sun depends on their distance from the sun. The planets that are closer take shorter time while the planets farther away take longer time. Mercury takes 88 days, Venus takes 224 days, Earth takes 365 days, Mars takes 687 days, Saturn takes 10760 days, Jupiter takes 4332 days, Neptune takes 60200 days and Uranus takes 30700 days.
Why is 1 year on earth 365 days and on mercury 1 year is 88 days?
A year is the time it takes to orbit the Sun. Mercury is nearer to the Sun, so it takes it less time to to make one complete orbit of the Sun. Earth takes just over 365 days to orbit the Sun so that is the length of a year on Earth. The year of all the planets are different lengths.A year is the time it takes to orbit the Sun.

What time is taken by a planet to orbit the sun?
Different planets have different times to orbit the Sun. Mercury takes 88 days. Uranus takes 84 Earth years.
Is space time different from earth time?
Earth has gravity and space does not.
What planet takes shortest amount of time to orbit the sun?
Of the known planets in the solar system, Mercury, being nearest to the sun, completes its orbit in the shortest time . . . 88 earth days.
What is the time taken for all the planets to orbit the sun in days?
200,000,0000
Earth's time to orbit the sun?
It is a year which is approximately 365 days
Which planets had the longest time to orbit the sun?
Depends on whether or not you call Pluto a Planet. If so, yes Pluto. Which takes around 248 earth days to orbit the sun. If not, it's Neptune. Which takes 165 earth days to orbit the sun.
The time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun?
Our earth takes 365.25 days to orbit the sun .
How do you know if a plant is an inner or outer plant?
Inner planets orbit inside the orbit of the Earth, can only be seen in the morning or evening sky and are never seen as full disks form the Earth. Outer planets orbit further out than the orbit of Earth and can be seen from time to time as full disks in 'opposition' or overhead at midnight.
Which planets day is half as long as its year?
Venus or Mercury, depending on the definition of "day" used. It takes Venus 243 Earth days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars (a "sidereal day"). It takes Venus 224.7 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its year). However, a "solar day" is only 116.75 Earth days long due to the combination of rotation time, orbit time and spin direction. (Venus spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.)Mercury has a "sidereal day" of about 58.6 Earth days and a year of about 88 Earth days.
What time does it take for the earth to orbit the sun?
365.25 Earth days.
Time taken the sun to orbit the earth?
The Sun does not orbit the Earth. These are two of the Earth's movements: In 24 hours it rotates on its axis, making it appear that the Sun orbits the Earth. In 365.25 days it revolves around (orbits) the sun.
