Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.
Characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all much larger than the inner planets. These outer planets have no real surface, they are composed mainly of Hydrogen and helium gas, which gets thicker and thicker until the extreme pressures closer to the core of the planets change the state of the gases. The outer planets are much colder than the inner planets due to their distance from the sun, they take much longer to orbit the sun due to this distance. The outer planets are a lot larger than the inner planets.
How long does it take for the plant to orbit the sun?
It takes one year for Earth to orbit the sun. Other planets have different orbital periods depending on their distance from the sun.
How are outer planets different from smaller planets?
They are bigger because the Outer Planets had less gas and dust taken away from them when the solar system was forming. The Inner planets were closer to the sun, so the sun took more gas and dust away from those bodies, but didn't take away from the Outer bodies.
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.
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
Why do the outer planets take longer to orbit?
they are farther away
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
How do inner planets differ?
Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.
How long does it take for outer planets to go all the way around?
Outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune take varying amounts of time to orbit around the Sun due to their distance from it. Jupiter takes about 12 years, Saturn about 29 years, Uranus about 84 years, and Neptune about 165 years to complete one orbit.
Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.
How do the orbits of the outer planets compare to the inner ones?
The outer planets take much more time and also travel longer to complete a whole orbit around the Sun, than the inner ones.
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.
How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
how long would it take for all planets in our solar system including all dwarf planets?
What do you mean by how long would it take? Like how long would it take to orbit around the sun?
What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
How long does it take the first 5 planets to orbit the sun?
This is how long it takes the first 5 planets to orbit the Sun. Mercury: 0.2 years Venus:0.6 years Earth: 1 year Mars: 2 years
