What is one orbit of the sun by a planet is called?

A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.


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.


What determines the length of the planets year?

The eight planets are in order in their various places. If a planet is closer to the Sun, it will have a shorter orbit and therefore will take less time to complete its orbit. If a planet is farther away from the Sun, it will have a longer orbit and will take more time to complete its orbit. For example, Earth, the third planet from the Sun and takes just a year to revolutionize it, but since Uranus, the seventh planet, is farther away from the Sun, it will take 81 years to complete its 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.


Are length of year and orbital period the same thing?

No, the length of a year refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around its star, while the orbital period is the time it takes for an object to complete one orbit around another object in space, such as a moon around a planet or a planet around a star. The length of a year is specific to a planet, while orbital period is a more general concept relating to any orbiting object.

What causes the length of a year on a planet?

The length of a year, for any planet, is the amount of time that it takes for that planet to complete one orbit of the sun. That, in turn, depends only upon the distance of that planet from the sun. The closer the planet is to the sun, the shorter the year. The farther the planet is from the sun, the longer the year. It takes a certain amount of orbital speed to counteract the gravitational attraction of the sun. And similarly, if a planet is moving faster in its orbit, there will be correspondingly more centrifugal force, causing the planet to move farther from the sun. Orbital mechanics makes it all work out.


Which planet take the most time to orbit the sun?

Planet Neptune takes the most time to orbit the sun, as it is the farthest away.
