This can be answered looking at Kepler's Third Law: "The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit." What this means is that as the distance of a planet to the sun increases, this change is directly proportional to the length of it's 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.


Why are Jupiter's days longer than it's years?

Jupiter's days are not, in fact, longer than its years. Jupiter's days last about 10 hours, and its year is approximatley 11 Earth years.


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.


Are months longer on Jupiter or Earth?

Months are longer on Earth than they are on Jupiter, because Jupiter's days are only 10 hours long.


What is a year on Jupiter?

Jupiter has an orbital period of 4,331.5 Earth days or about 11.86 years. Its orbit is much longer than Earth's, and it also moves more slowly in its orbit. Jupiter's orbit is roughly 11.86 Earth years long.


How long is a year on Jupiter compared to earth?

Jupiter's orbital period is about 4331.5 Earth days while earths is 365 days averagely. It is about 11.86 years so Jupiter has a year almost 12 times longer than earths.


Why do 12 earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter?

Jupiter's orbit around the Sun is much longer than Earth's, taking approximately 12 Earth years to complete one orbit. This difference in orbital time is why we say that 12 Earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter.


Are weather systems on Jupiter longer-lived than weather on Earth?

Yes, they are. A storm has been going on for 50 years!


What causes earths years to be shorter than Jupiter's years?

Well, we are closer to the sun, closer then Jupiter, so it makes our revolution shorterbecause we have a shorter distance to travel, hence Jupiter having a longer year then Earth.


Does jupiter has a longer day than earth?

No. Jupiter rotates very fast, and a "day" on Jupiter is a little under 10 hours long.


Why does Jupiter have a longer year than earth?

Jupiter's longer year is due to its larger orbit around the Sun. The distance it needs to travel in its elliptical orbit is larger than Earth's, resulting in a longer orbital period. Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.


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.
