Which planets have a short revolution period inner or outer?

Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, have shorter revolution periods because they have shorter distances to travel around the Sun. Outer planets, such as Neptune and Pluto, have longer revolution periods due to their larger orbits.


Why there is a systematic decrease in the synodic periods of the planets from Mars outward?

The systematic decrease in the synodic periods of the planets from Mars outward is primarily due to their increasing distances from the Sun and their orbital speeds. As planets move farther from the Sun, they have larger orbits and slower orbital velocities, which results in shorter synodic periods relative to Earth. Additionally, the gravitational influences and dynamics of their orbits contribute to this trend, affecting how quickly they appear to move across the sky from our vantage point on Earth. Consequently, outer planets exhibit shorter synodic periods compared to those closer to the Sun.


Why do planets complete their orbits at different time?

Planets complete their orbits at different times because they are at different distances from the Sun and travel at different speeds. This is due to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, where planets closer to the Sun have shorter orbital periods, while those farther away take longer to complete their orbits.


Who proposed this law that the ratio of the squares of the periods of revolution to the cubes of their average distances from the sun is the same for every one of the planets?

It was Kepler. It's Kepler's 3rd Law of Planetary motion.


What are Dwarf planets that takes longer to complete one revolution?

Dwarf planets that take longer to complete one revolution around the Sun include Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake. For instance, Pluto takes approximately 248 Earth years to complete one orbit. These longer orbital periods are due to their significant distances from the Sun, resulting in slower velocities in their orbits compared to planets closer to the Sun.

What does the third law planetary motion state?

The cubes of the average distances of the planets from the sun is proportional to the squares of their periods.

What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?

The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets

This is due to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, where planets closer to the Sun have shorter orbital periods, while those farther away take longer to complete their orbits.


Why do planets have different periods of revolution?

The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.


What is the third planet closest to Earth?

The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.


Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?

yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.


What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?

The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.

How does a planets period of rotation differ from its period of revolution?

they have different distances from the sun


Why do the planets have distances fro the sun?

because they we're made at different times
