Jupiter
MARS
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.
Distance from the Sun. (The closer it is, the faster it moves.)
That planet will move faster in its orbit.
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
The planet Uranus.
pluto... :)
All of them do.
the planet moves around the orbit because it is heavy and strong enough to pull its self in a circle around the sun. Thanks!:)

It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.

Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. As Mercury rotates slowly on its axis about once every 59 Earth days, it moves in an elliptical or oval-shaped orbit around the Sun, faster than any other planet.
Neptune moves more slowly than Earth. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbit. But the lesser gravity of the Sun at longer distances means that the planets also do not need to move as rapidly in their orbits. A planet farther from the Sun moves more slowly than one closer to the Sun.
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
