The length of the orbit depends of the distance from a star - (the sun).
This is because the further away a planet is from a Gravitational pull the weaker the gravitational pull is, therefore it is pull of the orbit is slower. Also, when a planet is further away the longer it has to go. This information is not extremely important if you don't understand it! This can be shown by the fact the longer the radius of a circle the longer the circumfrence, because Pi is a fixed number, and the result of the Pi equation depends on the amount it is multiplyed by, e.g 3.141592654 (Pi) x by 4cm, equals more than if it is multiplyed by 2cm.

True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
Define the length of a year on Earth?
The time it takes the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun.
What is one orbit of the sun by a planet is called?
A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.
Do more massive planets take longer to orbit the sun?
The length of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is based on its distance from the sun, not its mass. The farther a planet is from the sun, the larger its orbital path, and the longer it takes to complete an orbit.
The Length of an Earth year is based on Earth's?
orbit
The length of time a planet takes to orbit the sun?
yes it does
What is the length of time it takes for mercury to orbit the sun?
88 days

1.8808476 years.
What is the length of time Uranus takes to orbit the sun?
84.016846 years.
What determine the length of a year on a planet?
The length of time it takes to make a complete orbit around the sun.
What is the length of revolution for the dwarf planet Eris?
The time Eris takes to orbit the Sun is about 557 years.The length of Eris's orbit around the Sun is about 60 billion kilometers
What is the length of time ti takes Neptune to orbit the sun?
It take 164 Earth years for Neptune to orbit around the sun once.
True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
What is the length of the year for callisto?
The time taken by Callisto to orbit the Sun is essentially the same as the length of Jupiter's year: 11.86 earth years.
What and how does Uranus orbit?
orbit including the length of day and year
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.
