Which planets have longer and shorter years than earth?
Planets closer to the sun than Earth orbit the sun in less than one year (Mercury and Venus), while planets further out from the sun than Earth take longer than a year (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The further out you go, the longer it takes to orbit the sun.
Are mercury and venus less than or greater than one AU from the Sun?
they are less than
How are planets farther from the sun different?
The "outer planets" (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are more massive and spin faster than the inner planets. Although their distance from the Sun means they retained cold outer atmospheres, they would be larger even without these dense gaseous envelopes. The outer planets do not have to move as rapidly in their orbits to counteract the Sun's gravity, as this decreases with the orbital distance. During planetary formation, the protostellar disc would have clumped at the appropriate distance for its velocity. Given this lower speed, and the greater distance traveled, the outer planets take much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth.
Which planets orbit less than 1 AU and why?
An Au is defined as the average orbital radius between the Earth and the Sun. It's a shorthand unit used to make Keplar's Laws calculations easier. Since the distance between Earth and the Sun is equal to 1 AU, all the planets between Earth and the Sun orbit less than one AU away from earth. In addition it is possible that Mars also orbits 1 AU away from Earth, but I am not certain as to weither or not it actually does.
The closer a planet is to the sun?
The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter its orbital period will be, meaning it takes less time to complete one orbit around the sun. Additionally, planets closer to the sun will experience higher temperatures and receive more sunlight compared to those farther away.
What planets travel around the sun less time than it takes the earth to complete one revolution?
Mercury
Which planets are less than 1 au?
In our solar system, the planets Mercury and Venus orbit at a distance less than 1 AU. Since the Earth orbits at an "average" distance of one astronomical unit, you might also argue that Earth, owing to orbital eccentricity, sometimes is closer to the Sun than one AU.
Are there other suns with planets?
there is only one sun in the solar system A Sun is just a star with more than 5 or six planets
Which planets have longer and shorter years than earth?
Planets closer to the sun than Earth orbit the sun in less than one year (Mercury and Venus), while planets further out from the sun than Earth take longer than a year (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The further out you go, the longer it takes to orbit the sun.
What planet travels around the sun in less time than it take earth to complete one orbit?
it is the 2 planets that are before the earth mercury and venus
How long does it take an object to go around the sun?
Depends on distance Earth takes one year The two closer planets (Mercury and Venus) take less than a year The other planets take more than a year
What planets are heated by the sun?
all of our planets are heated by the sun. some more, some less! the hottest one would be mercury - being the closest and the coldest one theoretically would be Neptune. Hope this helps
What planets sunlight produces more than?
Mercury, Venus, and Pluto receive less sunlight than Earth due to their distance from the Sun or their orbital characteristics. For example, Pluto is much farther from the Sun than Earth, while Venus has a dense atmosphere that traps heat, making it one of the hottest planets in our solar system.
Are mercury and venus less than or greater than one AU from the Sun?
they are less than
Which planets have a greater period than one earth year those closer to the sun than to the earth or those farther from the sun than from the earth?
Planets farther from the sun than Earth have greater periods than one Earth year. For example, Neptune and Uranus are further from the Sun than Earth and have orbital periods longer than one Earth year.
Is Jupiter less than 8 percent of the sun's mass?
FAR less. Of all the mass in the solar system, the Sun is 99.5% of it. All the rest - Jupiter included - is one half of one percent of the solar system's mass.
Does a comet orbit anything?
Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
