The scientist who determined that the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to orbit it, was Johannes Kepler. He formulated this principle as part of his Third Law of Planetary Motion, which states that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This relationship is often summarized as the law of harmonies. Kepler's work laid the foundation for our understanding of planetary motion in the solar system.
Johannes Kepler, a German astronomer, formulated the laws of planetary motion which included the discovery that planets farther from the sun take longer to orbit the sun. This was one of his major contributions to the field of astronomy.
A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets, and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.
Based on the fact that Planet A has a greater mean distance from the Sun than Planet B, you can correctly infer that Planet A likely has a longer orbital period than Planet B. This is because planets that are farther from the Sun generally take longer to complete one orbit.
Because each planet is a different distance away from the sun. The farther away from the sun, the longer and wider it's orbital path is, therefore the longer it will take to complete one complete orbit around the sun.
The IAU no longer regards Pluto as a planet so Neptunewill forever be our 8th planet even when it is farther from the sun than Pluto. However it will be another 230 years before Neptune is farther from the Sun than Pluto

No. Uranus is farther from the sun. The farther from the sun a planet is, the longer it's "year".
the farther away from the sun the day must be longer.
revolution =D
Each planet's year is determined by its orbital period, which is the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. The further a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbital period, resulting in a longer year. This is due to the gravitational force of the Sun, which influences the speed and distance at which each planet orbits.
a year is determined on how long the planet takes to orbit the sun. When calculating the year of a planet we use earth days. __________________ Yes, distance counts. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes that planet to complete one full orbit.
Yes, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.
A planet year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one complete revolution in its orbit around the sun. The farther away from the sun a planet is, the larger its orbit. The larger its orbit, the longer (more days) it takes to go around the sun. Thus, the farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its year will be.
The farther it is from the sun the longer its period of revolution (its "year").
No, Earth is third in line, Pluto is last but now scientist think there is another planet farther away.
It wasn't discovered to not be a planet, it was decided to no longer be a planet. Recently, the last 2 or 3 years scientist decided (not all) it was not an official planet.
Technically speaking... Neptune. It was pluto, but scientists considered it no longer a planet.
