What travels around the sun in a year?

What is the relationship between the size of an orbit and the time taken by the planet to orbit the sun?
The relationship between the size of an orbit and the time taken by a planet to orbit the sun is described by Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. This law states that the square of the orbital period (the time taken to complete one orbit) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (the average distance from the sun). In simpler terms, the larger the orbit, the longer it takes for the planet to complete its revolution around the sun. Thus, planets farther from the sun take significantly longer to orbit compared to those closer in.
How are the planets distances from the sun generally related to the length of their year and their period of revolution?
The distance a planet is from the Sun relates to the length of the planet's year because it determines the time it takes for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. A planet's "year" is the time taken to orbit the Sun once. The further a planet is from the Sun, the further it must travel to complete an orbit. Also, a planet moves more slowly when it is further from the Sun. The mathematical equation for all this is given by Kepler's "Third Law of Planetary Motion". Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete a revolution. So, our year is 365 days with 366 days in a "leap year".

How is a year on a PLANET?
On Earth, a year is the time Earth takes to travel once around the Sun. The term "year", applied to other planets, may either refer to a standard Earth year, which is a very convenient unit of time, or to the time the planet takes to go once around the Sun. As an example, a "year" on Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years.
How long is a day and a year on the planet?
A planets day (solar day) is the time it takes to rotate once on its axis relative to the sun, the synodic period. A year on a planet is the time taken for the planet travel once around the sun.
What planet would take the shortest time to travel around?
the first planet mercury
What is the time taken for planets to orbit around the sun?
That is a "year" for that planet.
What travels around the sun in a year?
the time it takes to travel around the sun, a planet year
What planet would take the longest time to travel around?
Jupiter: it's the largest.
What action occurs to determine a year?
the time taken by a planet to make one revolution around the sun.
What planet takes twenty nine earth years to travel around the sun one time?
Saturn
What is a planet year?
A year by definition is the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun, therefore a planet year is different depending on what planet you are discussing. a planet closer to the Sun would have a shorter year (less distance to travel) whereas a planet farther from the Sun would have a longer year (more distance to travel)This is the time taken for the planet to orbit once around the sun. An earth year is still an earth year, regardless of what plaet you are on.The period of time that it takes for a planet in our solar system to make a complete revolution around the sun.As such due to their differing orbits this can vary considerably from an 88 day year for Mercury (approx. 1/4 of an Earth year) up to a 90,613 day year for Pluto (approx. 248 Earth years).
If you travel into space is the time taken to get to say another planet the same as the time on earth?
No, the time taken to travel to another planet in space would not be the same as the time experienced on Earth. Time dilation effects due to the speed of travel and gravitational forces would cause time to pass differently for astronauts in space compared to people on Earth. This means that time would appear to pass more slowly for travelers in space relative to those on Earth.
When does Jupiter travel most slowly around the sun?
Jupiter is not the slowest, but it is a lot slower than Earth. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. The time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun increases with distance from the Sun. There are two reasons : 1) The size of its orbit gets bigger. 2) The planet moves more slowly. This follows from the mathematics of Newton's gravitation theory.
How many revolutions does it take a planet to make a single trip around the sun?
One. A revolution is the time taken for any object to revolve once around the Sun.
Does it mean that light doesn't take time to travel?
yes light does take time to travel, and the time taken is at the speed of light. And so depending on the distance, we will know how much time it has taken.
