A "year" is the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun.

Each planet has it's own year.

A "day" is how long it takes for the planet to spin all the way around.

Why do the distant planets have a longer year than earth does?

For the same reason that it would take longer to run around your block than to run around your yard. The further planets have a further distance to travel to make one revolution around the sun.


What would take a year?

If you are referring to planets, a year is defined as the time it takes a planet to make one full orbit around the sun (i.e. one orbital period).


What does the earth take One year to do?

It takes one year to complete one revolution around the sun. This is the definition of a year. All planets take one (local) year to do so. Years are of different lengths of time depending on what planet you are referring to. A year on earth is different from a year on a different planet


How do the planets move around the sun to create a year?

the planets move around in an oval shape around the sun there are 2 ways they do that 1.the revolution around the sun 2.spinning around if a planet goes around the sun then that's called a revolution it takes 365 days (1 year) for the earth to go around the sun if a planet spins around that is 1 day it takes 24 hours (1 day) for earth to spin around some planets take longer to go around the sun and some go faster than the earth


What do you call the path to the planets takes?

I believe you are asking about their orbits around the Sun. The orbit is the (elliptical) path they take around the Sun. It takes a certain amount of time to complete, which is the planet's "year".One calendar year on Earth is (more or less) the time for one full revolution of Earth around the Sun.

How long does it take an object to go around the sun?

Depends on distance Earth takes one year The two closer planets (Mercury and Venus) take less than a year The other planets take more than a year

How many day does it take for the moon to circle around the sun if it could?

What do you mean "if it could"? The Moon does circle the Sun, together with planet Earth. Once a year.


How long does one trip around the sun take mercury in planets years?

One, that being essentially the definition of a planet's year.


What cause the difference in the lenghth of year among the planets?

A planetary year is defined as the time it take a planet to make one orbit around its star. The closer a planet is to its star the smaller the diameter of the circle of its orbit. In other words it has less far to go to make an orbit. Thus the length of a year is linked to how far out from the star the planet orbits.

How many days does mercury take to circle around the sun?

Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its year is 88 solar days.


Why do the planets further the sun have longer years?

The farther a planet is from the sun, the farther it has to go on its way around.Also . . . the way gravity works, a planet farther from the sun will move slower in its orbit.So when you add it up . . . moving slower plus a longer way to go . . . the farther ones take longer for each revolution.


How is the length of the year is determined?

A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
