What else can I help you with?
Do planets revolve faster or slower when they are close to the sun?
They move faster.
Which planets will orbit faster or slower?
Neptune is the slowest and mercury is the fastest
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
Does the earth move at a constant rate around the sun?
No. Earth moves in an ellipse around the Sun; when it is closest to the Sun (at its periapsis, in January), it moves faster, and when it is furthest from the Sun (at its apapsis), it moves slower.
Why do planets take different times to revolve around the sun?
The planets in our solar system all orbit (revolve) around the sun on a plane called the ecliptic plane but each of their individual orbits has a different perimeter ranging from small (which would be the closest to the sun) to big (which would be further away from the sun). Since Mercury has the smallest perimeter of orbit, it is the closest planet to the sun and is thus more drawn by the suns gravitational force, both its small perimeter and strong gravitational pull make it revolve around the sun faster, and the bigger the planets orbital perimeter is the further away from the sun it is and the slower its orbit is.

Why do the planents closest to the sun revolve faster than the planents further away?
Its not necessarily that the closer planets are travelling faster. 1. The farther planets have a lot more mass, so they're likely to move a bit slower. 2. They are much farther away so the suns gravity is not as powerful as it would be if they were closer. 3. Its mainly about the distance they have to travel. The distance around the sun for the closer planets is much smaller so they're bound to make a full revolution much faster.

Do gas planets rotate around their axes faster than rock ones?
Yes, gas planets tend to rotate faster around their axes than rocky planets. This is because gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have less dense atmospheres and larger sizes, which allows them to rotate more quickly due to conservation of angular momentum. Rock planets like Earth and Mars have denser compositions and smaller sizes, leading to slower rotation speeds.
In what month do the earth move faster around the sun December or June?
The Earth moves faster around the sun in January when it is closest to the sun in its orbit (perihelion) and slower in July when it is farthest from the sun (aphelion). Therefore, it moves faster in December than in June.
Is mars faster are slower than earth when you orbit around the sun?
Mars takes longer to make one orbit of the sun. Its slower, and it also has further to go. Planets orbiting speeds get slower the further you go out.
Does the computer run slower if the machine runs faster?
No If the computer runs faster then it runs faster not slower
Why do the outer planets revolve around the sun slower?
The outer planets revolve around the sun slower because they are farther away from the sun, which means they have a greater distance to travel in their orbits. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets that are farther from the sun have longer orbital periods.
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.
