Which planet moves the fastest about the sun?

The Sun doesn't move fast, but if you mean which planet moves fast around the sun then it would be Mercury, because it is closer.


Which planet moves the fastest Mercury Jupiter Mars or Saturn?

Mercury moves the fastest among those planets, with an average orbital speed of about 47.87 km/s. Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn have slower average orbital speeds of about 13.07 km/s, 24.07 km/s, and 9.69 km/s, respectively.


Which outer planet moves around the sun the fastest?

The outer planets are usually defined as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The innermost of those, Jupiter, moves around the sun the fastest. The speed of planet is a function the size of its orbit only -- mass doesn't matter, as figured out by Kepler about 500 years ago. Thus Mercury, the innermost of all planets, has the greatest orbital speed (87.96 Earth days for an orbit), and Neptune the slowest (164.81 Earth years). If you want to include Pluto, then it has the greatest orbital period (247.7 earth years)


How does the speed of a planets orbit at perihelion compare to the speed of a planets orbit at aphelion?

This is when the planet is at its closest point to the sun on its orbit around it. If its distance carts by enough it will experience higher temperatures at the perihelion. It will also be orbiting at its highest speed at this point.


How does the Earth probably compare in orbital speed to the other planets?

The Earth's orbital speed is relatively high compared to the other planets in our solar system due to its closer proximity to the Sun. Mercury has the fastest orbital speed, followed by Venus and Earth. The gas and ice giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have much slower orbital speeds due to their larger orbits and distances from the Sun.

Is the fastest part of a river is the most narrow?

The fastest part of a river is the narrowest or shallowest. In broad, deep sections the water moves slowly, in narrow or shallow sections the river moves fastest. Of course the fastest flowing water is at a waterfall or rapid.

What is the fastest time in figure skating?

Figure skating is not a race, and does not have a fastest time. There is a highest skill, but not a fastest time. Skaters are scored by a panel of judges based on the overall presentation, their execution of moves, and the difficulty of those moves.


What is the fastest particle?

depends on on the form if its a solid it moves really slow and if its a liquid its faster but still slow and moves the fastest as a gas
