Mercury orbits our sun at a much quicker rate than Pluto. It's orbital speed is quicker due to it's proximity to the sun and it has a much shorter path to complete. The further out a body is from the sun, the longer it takes to orbit.

Which of these planets would have the shortest year venus-243 days pluto-4 days or mercury-59 days?

Pluto is no longer a planet A year is the measurement of an orbit of the sun, not a rotation on it's axis. What you have listed is the object's 'day' Pluto rotates on it's axis once every 6 days, 9 hours venus: once every 243 days mercury: once 59 days An orbit of the Sun (a year): Mercury: 87 days Venus: 224 days Pluto: 248 Years 87 days < 224 days < 248 YEARS umm, Mercury. Note that Venus' day is longer than it's year - no wonder the place is an oven!


Is Pluto an orbit?

Answer: No, Pluto is not an orbit. Pluto is in an orbit: a 2:3 resonance orbit with Neptune.No, Pluto is a dwarf planet.


What planet takes 224 day to orbit the sun?

Venus takes approximately 224.7 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is slightly longer than its rotation period, which is why a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.


What is the order of Pluto?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris. That makes Pluto number 10 when we include dwarf planets out from the sun. Ironic since at the time of its discovery it was known as "planet X".


Why was Pluto a no longer planet?

That's because it is not the dominant object in the neighbourhood of its orbit.
