It is closer to the Sun.
The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
The Ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Other planets are also found more or less on the same plane.
Earth has life and water. It is an Inner planet and is rocky.Mars is dusty and more bumpy.Saturn has a ring around it.im not so sure about the others though
The distance from the Sun to the Earth varies about 3% over the course of a year, from a minimum or "perihelion" distance of about 91,500,000 miles to a maximum or "aphelion" distance of about 94,500,000 miles. 93 million miles is a good average figure. Details of how to measure this distance are given later. The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second. With an average distance of 93 million miles and an approximate speed of light of 186,000 miles per second, the math becomes really easy; it takes light 500 seconds to reach the Earth. Here's one method of how to measure the distance to the Sun, using radar technology: (You can't use radar to measure the distance to the Sun directly because of the nature of the Sun's surface.) 1) Wait for Earth, Venus and the Sun to line up with Venus (more or less) directly between us and the Sun. 2) Measure the distance to Venus using radar. 3) Knowing the Earth to Venus distance, use Kepler's Third Law to find the Earth to Sun distance. (Kepler's Third Law will give the ratio of the distances of Earth and Venus from the Sun. Thus, knowing the Earth to Venus distance, you can find the Earth to Sun distance.) See the "Related Link" below for more about measuring the distance to the Sun.
Please note that a "light-year" is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time, the way the question is posed, it indicates that possibly there is some confusion. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. The distance to Venus is MUCH less than a light-year; it takes light only a few minutes to get there. Depending on which side of the Sun it is, the distance (and the time required for a ray of light) can vary. As to the time, that really depends on the speed. A ray of light, as mentioned above, takes but a few minutes. A rocket, using currently available technology, would probably take several months to get there.
Less than the earth's time It takes about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
Mercury and Venus. Venus is the planet which takes less then a year to orbit the sun, it takes 224.7 earth days.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all take less time than Saturn to orbit the sun. Mercury has the shortest orbital period, completing an orbit in about 88 Earth days. Venus takes about 225 Earth days, Earth takes 365 days, and Mars takes about 687 Earth days.
Venus takes 225 days to orbit once around the Sun. This makes one year on Venus less than one year on Earth.
The two closer to the sun than the earth, mercury and Venus. The further you go out from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit it.
Venus orbits the sun in approximately 225 Earth days. (224.70069 days)Strange as it may seem, Venus rotates so slowly that a "day" on Venus is longer than its year. It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis. The slow rotation is also in a "retrograde" (clockwise) direction, from east to west.how long does it take for venus to orbit the sun
All of the planets inside of Saturns orbit.Thus Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter
A year on Venus is 224 Earth days and a day is 243 Earth days. This answer isn't bad, but remember the Solar day is "only" about 117 Earth days on Venus. I like the Solar day. It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to rotate once and that's what is called a Sidereal day.
Mercury and Venus take less time to orbit the Sun than the Earth does. ummm...if you need 5 then...earth, venus, mercury, mars and jupiter
Because Venus has less distance to travel, and it has a faster orbital speed than the Earth.
Jupiter, Saturn Uranus and Neptune all complete one rotation in less than a day.
No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
