How do planets change orbital speed change?
Planets with elliptical orbits are affected by the difference in the strength of the Sun's gravity as they move closer to, or farther away from, the Sun. The only other major effect on planets are the gravity of other planets, notably Jupiter and Neptune. Except for Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and trans-Neptunian planets, the effect is extremely small -- it has resulted in stable orbital resonances between several small outer planets and the planet Neptune.
Why mercury's year is shorter than Neptune's?
The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits. This is because the force of gravity is more intense (gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects in question) and so, in order to avoid falling into the sun, greater centrifugal force is needed. Or, the stronger gravity is whipping the closer planet around the sun faster. You can look at it either way.
Between 1979 and 1999 Pluto was closer to the sun then what planet?
t can change it isn't always exatly the same at least I don't think so
Which planet lies between Pluto and Uranus?
Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.
Who is closer to the sun Neptune or Mars?
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.

How is the distance between the centers of two objects related to the size of the pull of gravity between them?
The closer the distance, the greater the pull of gravity between them.
When was Pluto closer to the sun than Neptune?
Pluto was last closer to the Sun than Neptune between January 23, 1979, and February 11, 1999. This is due to the elliptical nature of Pluto's orbit, causing it to cross inside of Neptune's orbit for that period. Pluto will not be closer to the Sun than Neptune again until March 15, 2285.

Is the Neptune closer to the earth?
Earth is closer to the sun

What two things control the force of gravity between two objects?
The masses of the objects and the distance between them determines the force of gravity between them. The more massive and closer together they are, the greater the force of gravity.
Is mercury or neptune closer to the earth?
Those distances change constantly, but Mercury isalways closer to the Earth than Neptune everis.
What does the force of gravity between two objects depends on?
The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are, the stronger the force of gravity between them.

Why was Pluto closer to the sun then Neptune?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than Neptune's and at times it can come closer to the sun than Neptune. However, overall, Neptune is much closer to the sun in its average distance from the sun compared to Pluto.
