What happens to the length of the planet year as you move away from the sun?

I would define a "planetary year" as the time it takes to make one complete orbit around the sun.
The farther from the sun you go the farther the distance one orbit is (larger radius = larger circumference). The length of the planetary year depends upon the distance from the sun and the orbital speed of the planet.
This website has some handy information about the planets in our solar system.

It should be noted however that some farther away planets have shorter planetary years than earth and some closer planets have longer planetary years (due to orbital speed).

What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?
That planet will move faster in its orbit.
How does a planet moves?
The gravitational pull from the sun plus its own pull away from the sun
What do you think to a planet if its orbit brings it closer to the sun?
All of the planets in the solar system travel in elliptical orbits. They move closer to the sun every one of their years and then move away.
How can you move a planet?
You actually cant really possibly move a planet somewhere else because its in it's solar system
What happens when you turn the coarse adjustment knob forward?
If you turn the knob away from you, it will come closer to the slide. If you turn the knob towards you, it will move away from the slide/moves up.
What happens to the length of planet year as you move away from the sun?
The more distant the orbit, the longer the year.
What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?

What happens to the image when you move the slide away from you?
when we move the slide away from us,the image will move towards us..
What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?
Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.
What happens to the length of day as you move north of equator?
They become shorter.

What happens to the image when you move slide away from you?
It gets blurry and smaller
What happens to the land as you move west of the Mississippi?
It bleepin goes away
Why does a planet not move away from its path?
Because gravity is counteracting centrifugal force, holding it in orbit.
