The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet. Although a planet will orbit the sum in an eliptical sphere shaped orbit, the circumference of these are almost always relative to the mass and density of the planet. It is also determined on how far away it is from the sun. The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet.

What else can I help you with?
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius?
Yes, spot on, good guess . .
What effect has distance of a planet to the sun to its orbital period?
The distance of a planet from the sun affects its orbital period. Generally, the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its orbital period will be. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of a planet's orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun.
What planet is the larggest planet?
Jupiter, 142,600 killometers in circumference
Orbital speed is the speed with which a planet moves around the Sun This speed is determined by?
The mass of the Sun and the distance between the planet and Sun. As the Sun's mass is (more or less) constant, all we need to know is the distance. Technically this is called the "semi major axis" of the elliptical orbit. (If you wanted to be really, really accurate the mass of the planet does have a very very small effect.)
If the planet has less gravitation pull does that effect the speed it orbits around the Sun?
No. A planet's gravitational pull is determined by the planet's mass. A planet's orbital speed is determined by the the mass of the Sun and the planet's distance from the Sun.
What is the formula for orbital speed?
Orbital speed = (circumference of the orbit) / (period of revolution)
Which planet has the lowest orbital velocity?
Pluto is the planet that has the lowest orbital velocity relative to that of the earth. The orbital velocity of Pluto is 0.159.
Which planet has the largest circumference?
The planet with the largest circumference is Jupiter. About its equator, the circumference measure about 449,197 kilometers. Jupiter is an outer planet that also is the largest in the solar system.
What is the common term used for a planet's orbital period?
A planet's orbital period is also known as its year.
How did they now Goldilocks is a planet?
A "Goldilocks planet" is ANY planet that orbits its star at a distance from that star where the heat from the star means that any water present on the planet is in liquid form. This can be determined by measuring the stars temperature (its size and colour) and observing the planets orbital distance.
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
What happens to the surface temperature of a planet if you decrease its orbital radius?
If you decrease a planet's orbital radius, its surface temperature will increase.
How is a year different on each planet?
A year on each planet is determined by its orbital period around the sun. For example, a year on Earth is around 365 days, while a year on Mars is about 687 Earth days. The length of a year on a planet is influenced by its distance from the sun and its orbital speed.
What planet is not in the orbital plane?
Pluto
Which planet is not an orbital plane?
Pluto
The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius?
Yes, spot on, good guess . .
