Why do some planets take longer to orbit the sun than others?
Planets further out from the sun have a larger orbit to travel around, which takes more time. This is because their orbital path is longer, meaning they move at a slower average speed compared to planets closer to the sun. This results in different orbital periods for different planets.
Why do planets have different numbers of days in their years?
Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other 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.
Do moons orbit anything other than planets?
A moon is an object larger than about 50 miles across, which orbits a planet. Objects which orbit stars are called either planets, of if they are small, asteroids, or comets. So a moon does not orbit anything other than a planet.
How is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.
What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.
Why do some plants have longer years than earth?
A year for a planet is the time it takes for that planet to orbit the sun. Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away from the sun than Earth, so those planets have a farther distance to cover to orbit the sun once than the Earth does.
Why is planet Mercury the fastest in its orbit?
Because it is nearer to the Sun than all of the other planets. Its orbit is inside that of all of the other planets, so it shorter.
Do planets obit the sun?
Eight planets orbit our sun. More than a thousand planets far beyond our solar system are known to orbit other stars.

What 3 planets take longer than 29 years to orbit the sun?
Saturn, years to orbit sun= 29.46Uranus, years to orbit sun= 84.32Neptune, years to orbit sun= 164.79
Which of the planets take less than a year to orbit the sun?
The two closer to the sun than the earth, mercury and Venus. The further you go out from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit it.

How come planets orbit the sun but not others?
If you mean "why don't they orbit other objects in our Solar System", the Sun has most of the mass in our Solar System.
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.
