A year is different on each planet because the planets move at different speeds (e.g. Earth takes 365 and a a quarter days to spin around the sun once and Mercury takes 88 days to orbit on its axis.

How is a year different on each planet?

A year on each planet is determined by its orbital period around the sun. For example, a year on Earth is around 365 days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The length of a year on a planet is influenced by its distance from the sun and its orbital speed.


Each planet moves in a different orbit and at a different?

Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.


What is one orbit of the sun by a planet is called?

A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.


Why is each planets year different?

Each planet's year is determined by its orbital period, which is the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. The further a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbital period, resulting in a longer year. This is due to the gravitational force of the Sun, which influences the speed and distance at which each planet orbits.


Is the year on other planet same as on the earth?

A year is a measure of the time it takes a planet to make one complete circle (circuit) around the Sun. Each planet in our Solar system has a different length year. To make things simple, astronomers can use the number of Earth years a planet takes to orbit the Sun once. Everyone understands time expressed in Earth days.

Is the year on every planet the same as earth?

No, each planet in our solar system has a different length of year based on its orbital period around the sun. For example, a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days, while a year on Venus is about 225 Earth days.


Time needed to rotate around the sun?

One year for planet Earth, different times for each of the other planets.


How do you work out the length of 1 year for each planet?

Take the length of the planet's orbit, divide it by the speed at which the planet is orbiting and VOILA! The "year."


What is the length of time it takes planetary objects to revolve around the sun?

Typically, this length of time is called a "year". Each planet's year is a different length than that of the other planets and increases as the planet is further from the Sun.


Why are the revolutionary times of each planet different?

the farther out a planet is the less gravity is acting on the planet by the sun
