Yes, it is at a distance of 30 astronomical units from the Sun, so 30 times further than the Earth, which means its speed in orbit is down by a factor of sqrt(30), from Kepler's third law. So it goes at about 18% of the Earth's speed.

How many earth days are there Neptune 1 year?

One orbit for Neptune takes nearly 165 Earth years (164.79 years). This is approximately 60,190 Earth days. But a day (complete rotation) for Neptune is much shorter than Earth's, about 16 Earth hours. So there are about 89,666 "Neptune days" in a "Neptune year".


What planet is on maximum distance from the earth?

No matter where earth and Neptune are in their orbits about the sun, Neptune will always be the furthest planet from us. The reason is that the distance between Uranus and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the earth and sun.


Does Mercury orbits the sun more quickly or slower than earth?

Mercury, named after the Roman god that had wings on his feet, orbits the sun much faster than Earth. Mercury takes 88 days and Earth takes 365.25 days.


How long does it take Neptune to circle the sun?

The orbital period for Neptune is roughly 60,190 days or about 165 Earth years (164.79 Earth years).Neptune takes 60,190 earth days or 164.79 earth years to complete one rotation around the sun.


How old would an eleven year old be on Neptune?

On Neptune, a year is equivalent to 164.8 Earth years. To calculate the age of an 11-year-old on Earth on Neptune, you would divide 11 by 164.8, which equals approximately 0.067. Therefore, an 11-year-old on Earth would be approximately 0.067 years old on Neptune, which is equivalent to about 24.5 Earth days.


Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?

The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.


Jupiter mars neptune Saturn what planets is closest to earth?

Mars is the closest planet to Earth among Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn. The distance between Earth and Mars varies due to their constantly changing positions in their orbits around the sun. Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn are all much farther away from Earth compared to Mars.


Why is a Neptunian year much longer than a year on earth?

A Neptunian year is much longer than a year on Earth because Neptune is significantly farther from the Sun, resulting in a longer orbital path. It takes Neptune about 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun, due to its greater distance and slower orbital speed. In contrast, Earth orbits the Sun in just one year, as it is much closer and moves faster in its orbit. This vast difference in distance and orbital dynamics accounts for the length of a year on each planet.


Would a year on planet Neptune be longer or shorter than an earth year explain?

It would be longer because Neptune is farther away from the sun than Earth is. Then, Neptune revolution is 163.72 Earth YEARS and Earth revolution period is 365.26 Earth DAYS. Hope I helped.
