It's distance - the further it is from the Sun the further it has to travel.
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.
Time = distance3/2Kepler's 3rd Law of Planetary Motion gives this relationship:The cube of the average distance from the Sun is proportional to the square ofthe period of revolution (year).So: (Distance)3 is proportional to (year)2
No because a day is how long it spins on it's axis not around the sun. But it kinda has a relationship to how long a year is on a planet. Because the farther away it is the bigger it's revolution around the sun is but it just depends on how fast it moves.
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers 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.
The distance between Pluto and Saturn varies depending on where each planet is in its orbit, but the maximum distance between them is a little under 11 light-HOURS.
The farther out, the longer the year.
Yes. A year is how long it takes for Earth to orbit (go the whole way around) the sun. So if it's further out, then it takes longer to orbit, thus a longer year.

The further a planet is from the sun the larger it's orbit is around the sun. Mercury's orbit is 223,700,000 miles and takes three Earth months to complete, while Jupiter's orbit is 3,037,000,000 miles and takes almost eleven Earth years to complete.
Well if you are talking about planet Earth the orbit around the Sun takes one year.

Everything. The further out the planet is, the longer the orbit. Johannes Kepler found out that the relationship between the orbital time of a planet (its 'year') is proportional to the distance it is from the sun. The actual relationship is: The time T for one orbit (the 'year') squared (i.e times by itself) is proportional to the distance D it is from the sun cubed (times by itself twice) or T x T is proportional to D x D x D so for any two planets, if the time for a 'year' of one planet is t and the distance it is from the sun is d, and the time for a 'year' of the other is T and its distance from the sun D, then T x T divided by t x t = D x D x D divided by d x d x dTherefore, if you know the distance from the sun and the time of a year for one planet, and the time for the year of another planet, you can work out the second planet's distance. Or knowing any three of the parameters, you can work out the fourth. The law still works for any object in orbit - including the moon travelling round the earth and satellites in orbit.
There is no direct relationship between the eccentricity and the average distance from the Sun. Of course, the distance from the Sun will vary as the planet orbits the Sun. The more eccentric the orbit, the bigger the relative change between closest approach and the point furthest from the Sun.
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers 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.
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.
The distance between Pluto and Saturn varies depending on where each planet is in its orbit, but the maximum distance between them is a little under 11 light-HOURS.
