Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the Dwarf Planets Pluto, Eris, MakeMake, Ceres and Haumea.

Why does it take 360 days to orbit the sun Why does it take 360 days to orbit the sun?

It takes the Earth 365.25 days to orbit the sun once. This orbital period is governed by the planets distance from the sun, and the mass of the Sun and Earth. Kepler found that the square of the period, P, is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis, a (P2 = ka3).

Why does the energy a planet receives from the sun diminish with distance?

The four outer planets are all significantly larger than the four inner planets. Beyond that there's no simple relationship. The size of the planets (from smallest, 1, to largest, 8) in order of distance from the Sun: 1, 3, 4, 2, 8, 7 ... and then it gets vague. If you go by radius, the last two are 6, 5 and if you go by mass they're 5, 6 (either way, they're nearly twins).
