Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.

Do more massive planets take longer to orbit the sun?

The length of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is based on its distance from the sun, not its mass. The farther a planet is from the sun, the larger its orbital path, and the longer it takes to complete an orbit.


Does the distance from the sun affect how long a year is on that planet?

a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.


How does the time for planet to orbit the sun change with its distance from the sun?

I'm not sure if you want a more detailed answer than this, but the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete its orbit, since a complete orbit traverses far longer distances when a planet is far from the sun. Although planetary orbits are actually elliptical, thinking of them as circles will simplify the principle involved: if the distance from the earth to the sun is a distance of one, and the distance from Jupiter to the sun is five, the "circular" orbit for the earth would be 2(pi)one = about 6.3 units, while the distance for the earth would be 2(pi)five = about 32 units.


How are the length of a planet year and planet distance from the sun?

A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.


Is there a relationship between the length of planet's year and the distance of that planet from the sun?

Yes. A year is how long it takes for Earth to orbit (go the whole way around) the sun. So if it's further out, then it takes longer to orbit, thus a longer year.


Does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of a year on that planet?

Yes, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.


Is one year it takes a planet to orbit the sun?

A year (or orbital period) is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun.


The planet with the largest orbit?

Neptune is the planet that takes the longest time to orbit our sun, in terms of time taken and distance. Pluto and some other dwarf planets take longer, but these are not considered to be one of the eight major planets in our solar system.


What dwarf planet takes 252years to orbit the sun?

The dwarf planet that takes 252 years to orbit the sun is called Pluto. It was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.


Which planet takes 250 years to orbit around the sun?

The planet you are referring to is the dwarf planet Pluto, which takes just over 248 years to orbit the Sun.


What is the type of path a planet takes?

orbit


What do you call the amount of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun?

One round trip around the sun is called a "YEAR".
