I believe you are asking about their orbits around the Sun. The orbit is the (elliptical) path they take around the Sun. It takes a certain amount of time to complete, which is the planet's "year".

One calendar year on Earth is (more or less) the time for one full revolution of Earth around the Sun.

What is the path planets takes around the sun called?

The path is called the orbit. There are 8 planets (excluding Pluto and the other dwarf planets) with separate paths at various unique distances from the Sun.The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (in order of increasing distance from the Sun).The path that a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called its orbit. Mercury has the fastest orbit, at 88 days. Neptune has the longest orbit, at 165 years.
