Most scientists at a young age are told to reach for the stars-but how do you reach for a star that moves at 10 million miles per hour? Kevin Hurley, a research physicist at the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory may have found such a star, located nearly 20,000 light-years away.

∙ 16y agothe fastest moving planet would proably be Mercury because it is the first to make a cycle around the sun before the other eight planets. It is also the smallest and is closest to the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt would be Mercury because the closer to the sun the planet is the faster it moves in it's orbit. the other reason is because mercury only takes 88 days to go around the sun.

Where is a planet when it is moving most rapidly in its orbit?
Any object in an elliptical orbit - this would include every planet and natural satellite - is moving fastest when it is closest to the "primary object" around which it orbits; the Sun in the case of the planets, and each planet in the case of a moon. The Earth reaches perihelion, its closest point of approach to the Sun, on January 4 each year, so that's the day at which the Earth is moving fastest in its orbit.
Which is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system?
jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
What is fastest spinning planet?
Jupiter
What is the fastest rotating body in the solar system?
The fastest rotating planet is Jupiter.
What are slowest to fastest planet to orbit the sun?
Curiously, the nearer the planet is to the Sun the faster it orbits. Thus Mercury orbits the fastest, whereas Neptune is the slowest.
The fastest moving planet in a solar systerm is?
The fastest moving planet in out solar system is Mercury, which is named after the roman god of speed.
Is the planet Mercury the fastest moving planet in the solar system?
Yes! The closer planets are to the sun the faster they go. Since Murcury is closest, it is the fastest.
Is mercury the fastest moving planet around the sun but the slowest rotating around its axis?
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.
When will a planet travel fastest in its orbit?
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
Does a planet moving in an elliptical orbit about the sun move fastest when it is farthest from the sun or when it is nearest to the sun?
nearest to the sun
Why scientists have name this planet as Mercury?
Scientist did not name Mercury, Roman/ Greek Gods did. They named it Mercury because it was the fastest moving planet out of all Planets.
What is the fastest creature on the planet?
The fastest creature on the planet is the cheetah.
Which planet has the fastest planets?
mercury is the fastest planet.

What planet orbits fastest?
The fastest planet is Mercury which is closest to the Sun.
What planet is fastest-rotating planet?
Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet int he solar system.
What is The fastest moving front is?
a cold front is the fastest moving front
