Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?

Planets that are farther from the sun have longer orbital periods due to the influence of gravity. The gravitational force between the sun and a planet decreases with distance, so planets farther out experience weaker gravitational pulls, resulting in slower orbital speeds. This explains why outer planets like Neptune have longer orbital periods compared to inner planets 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.


What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?

The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.


Why are days longer and shorter on different planets?

Rotation of planets depends on their history of being hit by other planetoids ... thus it is entirely random.


Why do the outer planets in the Solar System have much longer year lengths than the inner planets?

There are two reasons. First, since they are farther from the sun they have longer orbital path. Second at a greater distance from the sun the sun's gravity is weaker, giving the outer planets a slower orbital speed.

Why are the rotations of jovian planets shorter but their revolutions are longer?

Jovian planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have shorter rotations due to their gaseous composition and rapid spinning, which allows them to complete a rotation in just a few hours. However, their revolutions are longer because they are located farther from the Sun, resulting in a greater orbital distance that requires more time to complete one full orbit. This combination of fast rotation and slow revolution is characteristic of these massive, gaseous planets.


When moving from the outer planets to the inner planets what can be said about their periods of revolution?

As planets move from outer to inner planets, their periods of revolution decrease. This is because the inner planets are closer to the Sun, so they have shorter orbital paths and complete their revolutions more quickly. Outer planets, being farther from the Sun, take longer to complete their journeys around it.

If a planet has less gravity will it take longer to revolve around the sun?

No, it is the sun's gravity that affects the planets revolutions. The planet's distance from the sun is also very important in the time it takes to revolve around the sun.
