At any particular orbital radius, there is only one velocity which will give stable orbit. An increase in velocity would increase the centripetal force, overcoming the gravitational pull, the net force then accelerating the object away from the sun.

Stable orbit:

(Gravity (G*m1*m2)/d2) = ( centripetal force (m2*(v2/d)) )

G = newtons gravitational constant

m1 = mass sun (kg)

m2 = mass object (kg)

d = distance between sun and object (metres)

v = orbital velocity (metres per second)

What are the factors that affect the length of an orbit?

Central accelerating force, in the case of an orbit this would be determined by the central mass. semi-major Radius of the orbit. eccentricity of the orbit. The value of the Gravitational constant. For a central mass reference these four are sufficient. If you consider a 'center of mass' reference however then the mass of the orbital is also required to determine the orbital characteristics.

What kind of motion does a constant force produce on an object of fixed mass?

A constant force applied to an object of fixed mass will result in the object experiencing constant acceleration. This means the object will change its velocity at a constant rate in the direction of the applied force.
