Generally speaking, the greater distance from the Sun means a colder climate, due to the decreased incident solar radiation.

Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.


How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?

Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.


How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?

The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.


Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?

Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.


How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?

From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.

Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?

The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.


How does the distance affect the time it takes the earth and the other planets to go around the sun?

The time it takes for the Earth and other planets to go around the sun is mainly influenced by their distance from the sun. Closer planets have shorter orbital periods due to the stronger gravitational pull of the sun, while farther planets have longer orbital periods due to weaker gravitational forces. This relationship is described by Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion.

How does elevations affect climate?

The distance from the equator affects how much sun an area receives. Landforms can affect climate by blocking wind, rain, sun etc. Elevation height above sea level affects climate too. Proximity hearness to water affects the life of an area.


How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?

A planet's distance from the sun affects its orbit speed through Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it travels in its orbit. This is because the sun's gravitational pull is stronger closer to the sun, causing the planet to move faster to maintain its orbital balance.
