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 planets year is 365 earth years?

A planet's year that is equivalent to 365 Earth days is Earth itself. Each planet has its own orbital period around the Sun, and Earth completes one full orbit in approximately 365.25 days, which is why we have leap years. Other planets have significantly longer or shorter orbital periods compared to Earth.


Which planets have a year longer than the Earth?

All the planets further away from the sun than Earth is


Which planets have years longer than one earth year?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have years longer than one Earth year. Jupiter's year is about 12 Earth years, Saturn's is about 29 Earth years, Uranus's is about 84 Earth years, and Neptune's is about 165 Earth years.


Eath has a longer year than mercury or Jupiter?

No, Earth actually has a shorter year than Jupiter. Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun, while Jupiter takes approximately 11.9 Earth years for a single orbit. Mercury has the shortest year of all the planets in our solar system, completing an orbit around the sun in about 88 Earth days.


Compare the rotational period of the inner and outer planets?

The inner planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have shorter rotational periods ranging from about 24 hours to a few days. In comparison, the outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have longer rotational periods ranging from around 10 hours to a few days. This difference is mainly due to the size and mass distribution of the planets.

Would a year on the planets take longer or shorter then an earth year explain?

It depends on the planet. The planets orbiting closer to the sun than earth (Mercury and Venus) have shorter years, because they have smaller orbits, and travel faster. The planets further from the sun (Mars, Jupier, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have longer years because they have larger orbits and travel slower.


Would a year on Neptune be longer or shorter than on earth?

In terms of Earth years, longer.


Would a year on neptune be longer or shorter than earth year?

Does Jupiter have a shorter or longer year than earth?

Jupiter has a longer year than Earth. It takes about 12 Earth years for Jupiter to complete one orbit around the sun.


Do any planets have longer days or years?

No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).


Are inner planets large or small?

The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.


Would a year on the planet Uranus be longer or shorter than a year on earth?

A year on Uranus, would be approx 84.07 Earth years.


Are years getting shorter or longer why?

Years are not getting shorter or longer. A year is defined as the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun, which remains constant. The perception of time passing quickly or slowly may vary depending on individual experiences and circumstances.


What makes years?

A year is defined as the time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun. This amount of time varies from planet to planet.In our solar system Venus and Mercury have shorter years than the earth, (ie they orbit the sun in less time than the earth) all the other planets have longer years than us.A year on Mars is about twice as long as a year on earth, on Neptune the year is about 165 of our years.
