What happens to a planets time of orbit around the sun as it gets farther from the sun?
As a planet moves farther from the Sun, its orbital period increases, meaning it takes longer to complete one orbit. This relationship is described by Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, which states that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun. Consequently, planets that are more distant from the Sun, like Neptune, have significantly longer orbital periods compared to those closer, like Mercury.

Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
List of planets in order that orbit the moon?
No planets are in orbit around the moon
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect its orbit speed?
Since the gravitational effect of the Sun decreases with distance from it, the planets farther from the Sun do not have to move as rapidly to remain in orbit. (In fact, the speed is what establishes the orbit, not the other way around.) So the outer planets, in addition to having much farther to travel in their orbits, are also moving more slowly. This combination means that outer planets take very much longer to orbit the Sun than do the inner planets such as Earth. By comparison, the length of time it takes (in Earth years) for each of the outer planets to make one complete revolution around the Sun: Jupiter - 11.9 Earth years Saturn - 29.5 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 165 Earth years
What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?
The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).
Why did Copernicus think that stars are farther from earth than the planets are?
He knew that the planets revolved around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
Why do the outer planets take longer to orbit?
they are farther away
Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different length orbits because they are at varying distances from the sun. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete an orbit. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun, which affects the speed at which planets travel around it.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
Why do different planets have different orbit times around the sun?
Different planets have different orbit times around the sun because they are at varying distances from the sun. Planets that are closer to the sun, like Mercury, have shorter orbit times, while planets that are farther away, like Neptune, have longer orbit times due to the gravitational pull of the sun affecting their speed of revolution.
How many planets are in orbit around Rush Limbaugh?
No planets orbit around Rush Limbaugh.
