The period is about 365.25 earth days
The calendar omits the extra 1/4 day, and every 4 years we have a "leap year" of 366 days to keep the calendar as close as possible to the yearly seasons. Years ending in "00" are only leap years when the hundreds digits are also divisible by 4 (e.g. 1600, 2000).

How many weeks does it take for the earth to orbit the sun?
About 52 weeks, or one year.
How long does it take Mercury to orbit the Earth?
Mercury takes 88 earth days to orbit the sun. 88 days, is a little less than 3 Earthmonths to orbit the Sun once.it takes 87 earth day to complete a year or one time around the sun
How is planet's distance from the sun related to the length of its orbits?
Yes, there is a relationship between the distance from the sun and the length of the year for the planets. The greater the distance from the sun, the longer the year. The reasons are explained in Newton's Laws of Gravity and Einstein's Theory of Relativity. A planets year is known as the distance a planet takes to travel around the Sun in a complete orbit. For example, in 365 days time, or one year, the Earth will have traveled around the Sun and be back in the position it is in right now. When compared to Earth, the closer a planet is to the the Sun, the shorter its years are (Mercury, Venus). Planets further away from the Sun have longer years when compared to an Earth year (Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto). So we say that a year on Mercury compared to ours only lasts 88 Earth days, whereas a year on Neptune takes about 60000 Earth days (nearly 165 Earth years). The cube of the distance is proportional to the square of the length of the year or orbital period. For example, Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the Sun as the Earth is. Cube 5.2. Now take the square root of the result. That's how many times longer Jupiter's year is than Earth's year. Distance (in AU's) cubed equals orbit time (in earth years) squared. For example, Mars is 1.52 AU with an orbit time of 1.88 Earth years. 1.52^3 == 1.88^2 (�= 3.54) Neptune is 30.11 AU and orbit time of 164.79 Earth years. 30.11^3 == 164.79^2 (�=27295.25) The length of the planet's year is equal to the distance to the power 1.5. So for a planet at 4 times the distance, the rotation period would be 8 times longer (Kepler's 2nd law).
What is the sun's orbit?
If you are referring to the orbit of the Earth, it means approximately 365.256 days has passed. Other planets in our solar system obviously take different paths, or "Orbits, thusly taking a different number of Earth days to complete one "Orbit of the Sun. For example, the planet Mercury is closest to the sun, thereby it has a smaller "Orbit" and completes 1 orbit of the Sun in approximately 88 Earth days. On the other extreme, the planet Neptune takes approximately 164.8 Earth Years (60,189 Earth Days) The approximation of 365.256 Earth days per year is used. I hope this helps answer the question.
