Jupiter is not the slowest, but it is a lot slower than Earth. Jupiter is the fifth
planet from the Sun. The time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun increases
with distance from the Sun. There are two reasons :
1) The size of its orbit gets bigger.
2) The planet moves more slowly. This follows from the
mathematics of Newton's gravitation theory.
