What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its year?
The distance a planet is from the sun influences its year length. Planets closer to the sun have shorter years because they travel a shorter distance to complete one orbit around the sun. Conversely, planets farther from the sun have longer years because they have a greater distance to travel in their orbit.
What determines the length of a planets year?
distance from a source of light and how long it takes to orbit that source
Why do planets nearer to the sun have shorter year length?
Planets closer to the Sun have shorter year lengths because they orbit the Sun at higher speeds due to stronger gravitational forces. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the less distance it has to travel in its orbit, allowing it to complete a revolution more quickly. This results in shorter orbital periods, which defines the length of a year for those planets. For example, Mercury, the closest planet, takes only about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Which planets has the longest year and which planet has the shortest?
(The year is proportional to the distance to the power 1.5) In our solar system, Mercury has the shortest year. Neptune has the longest.
What is 9460730472580800 meters long?
That's the approximate length of a light-year - the distance that light travels in a year.
True or false the length of a planet's year increases as its distance from the sun increases?
True. The length of time that it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is directly related to the distance of the orbit from the Sun.
What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?
Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
What is the relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its year?
The distance a planet is from the sun influences its year length. Planets closer to the sun have shorter years because they travel a shorter distance to complete one orbit around the sun. Conversely, planets farther from the sun have longer years because they have a greater distance to travel in their orbit.
What is a year called for all eight planets?
A year on a planet is the time it takes for that planet to complete one orbit around the sun. For example, on Earth, a year is about 365 days. The length of a year varies for each of the eight planets in our solar system based on their distance from the sun and their orbital speed.
What determines the length of a planets year?
distance from a source of light and how long it takes to orbit that source
Is it true that the length of a year of a planet is proportional to its distance from the sun?
YES. However the relationship is not quite that simple. This is Kepler's third law. I'll give you a simplified version which assumes the planets orbits are circular, instead of being ellipses : The square of the length of the year is proportional to the cube of the planet's distance from the Sun.
Do all planets in the Solar system have the same length of the year?
no
Which question should you ask to find out the length of a planets year?
bussy
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
Are there any planets that are less then a light year away from Earth?
All of the planets in our Solar System are less than a light year away, but no other planets around other stars are within that distance.
What is the length of a year on Uranus given in earth years?
84 known moons and planets
Why do planets nearer to the sun have shorter year length?
Planets closer to the Sun have shorter year lengths because they orbit the Sun at higher speeds due to stronger gravitational forces. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the less distance it has to travel in its orbit, allowing it to complete a revolution more quickly. This results in shorter orbital periods, which defines the length of a year for those planets.
