What would be the period of revolution of a hypothetical planet that is 4 AUs from the sun?

I make it around 2875 days or 7 years 11 months, if we look at the revolution times of all of the other planets, which follow a common law based on distance from the sun.

What happens to the sun when the distance increases orbital period of planet?
If a planet's distance from the sun would increase, its revolutionary path would be extended (because it would have to traverse more distance), ergo increasing its period of revolution. Take an ellipse and enlarge it, then measure the perimeter of each ellipse, the larger one will have a larger perimeter.
Which planet in the solar system has the longest revolution period?
Revolution of a planet can mean two things:* orbital period - the time it takes to orbit the Sun - then the answer is Neptune, the farthest planet. Neptune takes about 165 years to orbit the sun once. It is thus the planet in our solar system with the longest period of revolution. The dwarf planet Sedna may take as long as 12,000 years to orbit the sun.* rotational period - the time it takes to spin on the axis - then the answer is Venus. Venus has the longest period of rotation (day) at 243 Earth days.Eris, which is larger than Pluto, orbits once every 557 years.
Which planet has the shortest rotational period?
Jupiter is the planet with the shortest rotation time. It rotates once every 9 hours and 50 minutes.Jupiter in the planet with the shortest rotation time, with a day approximately 12 hours long.
If a planet has two moons and one moon twice as far from the planet as the other which moon would complete a revolution of the planet first?
The closer one.

What would be the period of revolution for a hypothetical planet just above the surface of the sun at a distance from the solar center of 1 million km?
That would have the planet at a distance of 300,000 km from the surface. This would be in the corona region. No matter can exist in this area. At millions of degrees in temperature, everything is plasma in this area.
How would you know a planet's period of revolution?
all u have to do is die
What planet would take 164 of earths days to go around the sun?
There is no planet with a revolution period of 164 Earth days. Neptune, however, has a revolution period of 164.8 Earth years.
Is there any planet which have same rotational and revolution periods as earth?
No. Mars has a similar rotational period but not revolution. For a planet to have the same revolution period as Earth would mean it would have to be in the same Orbit as Earth, with catastrophic results. One was in the same orbit as Earth during it's formation, it crashed into the Earth creating the Moon. It's possible that some extrasolar planet (that is, a planet of a star other than the Sun) might by coincidence have nearly the same rotational and/or revolution period, but we don't know of any yet (and it's not very likely that we ever will).
What happens to the sun when the distance increases orbital period of planet?
If a planet's distance from the sun would increase, its revolutionary path would be extended (because it would have to traverse more distance), ergo increasing its period of revolution.

How old would you have to be to witness one complete revolution of the planet Pluto?
To witness one complete revolution of the planet Pluto, you would have to be at least 248 years old.
How would the period of a planet change as its distance fro the sun increases?
the planet would have its year shorter
How old would you have to be to witness a complete revolution of the planet Pluto?

If there was a planet between mercury and the sun what would the period of revolution around the sun be?
Alright, so all the abouve is completely wronge. The revolution would only be 3 hours. Rounded ofcorce, but aproximatly would be only 3 hours. <-- This is totaly fool proof :D. Its right don't wory .
The period with longest revolution period between planet mercury mars Jupiter Saturn?
Look for the one that is furthest away. The revolution period goes up with the size of the orbit to the 3/2 power, e.g. a planet at 4 AU distance from the Sun would take 8 years to go round because 8 = 4^(1.5) Saturn has an orbital radius of just under 10 AU and takes about 30 years to go round.
