What time is taken by a planet to orbit the sun?

Different planets have different times to orbit the Sun. Mercury takes 88 days. Uranus takes 84 Earth years.


Why do planets take different times to revolve around the sun?

The planets in our solar system all orbit (revolve) around the sun on a plane called the ecliptic plane but each of their individual orbits has a different perimeter ranging from small (which would be the closest to the sun) to big (which would be further away from the sun). Since Mercury has the smallest perimeter of orbit, it is the closest planet to the sun and is thus more drawn by the suns gravitational force, both its small perimeter and strong gravitational pull make it revolve around the sun faster, and the bigger the planets orbital perimeter is the further away from the sun it is and the slower its orbit is.


What is the earths axis and orbit?

No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.


Why are planets seen in different locations at different times?

Because the planets are closer to us so when we look at the planets we can see them move so the closer an object is to you the easier it is to follow its motion. Hope you could use my answer


Does Pluto have a different orbit?

Pluto's orbit is quite unusual. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the Sun. Its orbit is also more oval-shaped, or elliptical, than those of the 8 major planets. That means that sometimes Pluto is a lot nearer to the Sun than at other times, At times Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune.

What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?

In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.


Why does the length of a day and year vary from planet to planet?

Some planets rotate faster or than others. Also the planets take different times to orbit the Sun.

Do planets change position during each season and when do they change for each season?

Yes, planets do change position during each season. The position of planets changes due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing different planets to be visible at different times of the year. The change in position of planets varies depending on the planet and the season.


What is the least times does a planet take to revolve around earth?

No planets revolve around earth they revolve around the sun.

Who realized planets orbit the sun?

Galileo used the telescope to support the heliocentric model (Planets orbit the sun)Nicolaus Copernicus worked out the arrangements of planets and how the move around the sun (heliocentric).Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler researched the planets' orbit and found that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse (Oval shape).
