They have a longer distance to travel. If you go around something, the further away from it you are, the longer the journey you have to go will be.

Why do the outer planets revolve around the sun slower?

The outer planets revolve around the sun slower because they are farther away from the sun, which means they have a greater distance to travel in their orbits. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets that are farther from the sun have longer orbital periods.


Why do some planets take longer to revolve?

Because they are farther away from the sun, and the sun is what they revolve around, so they have a longer distance to go. That obviously makes the day longer on that planet, along with all other time measurements. Some planets take longer to revolve because of their distance to the sun. The further a planet is, the more distance it has to cover and the weaker the sun's gravitational pull is. Planets farther away from the sun move more slowly, and have more distance to cover.


Do planets tend to have more earth days the further they are from the sun?

Yes, planets that are farther from the sun have larger orbits and it takes then longer to revolve around the sun. Therefore, they have more earth days.


Why do the outer planets revolve so slowly around the sun?

The outer planets revolve about the same speed they just have to travel a much longer distance so it takes longer.


Why do some planets take longer to rotate around the earth?

Since the 1600s, it has been generally accepted that no planets revolve around the Earth.

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.


Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?

No, planets do not revolve around the sun at the same speed. Their orbital speeds depend on their distance from the sun - planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and faster speeds, while those further away have longer orbital periods and slower speeds.


What planets have a longer revolutions?

The ones that are farther from the sun have longer revolutions.


Why do the distant planets have a longer year than earth does?

For the same reason that it would take longer to run around your block than to run around your yard. The further planets have a further distance to travel to make one revolution around the sun.


Why does it takes some planets only days to revolve around the sun and other planets more than one hundred years?

It takes longer because the planets are differant distances away from the sun, the greater the difference the longer it take


Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?

Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
