Why does Jupiter have a longer year than earth?

Jupiter's longer year is due to its larger orbit around the Sun. The distance it needs to travel in its elliptical orbit is larger than Earth's, resulting in a longer orbital period. Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.


Why is earth's year shorter than Jupiter's?

The length of a planet's year is determined by its distance from the sun and its orbital speed. Jupiter is farther away from the sun than Earth, so it takes longer to complete one orbit. Jupiter's larger size and mass also mean it moves more slowly in its orbit compared to Earth.


Why does it take so long for Jupiter to orbit the sun?

Jupiter is more than 5 times as far from the Sun as Earth, which makes its orbital path (circumference) more than 5 times as long as Earth's. If it were moving at the same speed as Earth in its orbit, it would take 5 times as long to orbit the Sun. But planets farther from the Sun actually orbit more slowly with increasing orbital distance, so Jupiter actually takes nearly 12 Earth years to make one orbit (Jupiter year). (Earth's orbital speed is about 30 km/sec. For Jupiter it is about 13 km/sec.)


How does Jupiter take to orbit the sun?

It takes Jupiter just 3 earth days to orbit the sun. Even though Jupiter is many millions of kms farther away than earth from the sun, the suns gravitational pull on Jupiter is more massive as Jupiter is thousands of times larger than the earth.

What is a year on Jupiter?

Jupiter has an orbital period of 4,331.5 Earth days or about 11.86 years. Its orbit is much longer than Earth's, and it also moves more slowly in its orbit. Jupiter's orbit is roughly 11.86 Earth years long.
