The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun due to their greater distance from it. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the time it takes for a planet to complete an orbit increases with the radius of that orbit. As a result, the gravitational pull from the Sun weakens with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for these distant planets. Consequently, planets like Neptune and Uranus take many Earth years to complete a single orbit.

What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?

The outer planets take longer.


Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


Why do the outer planets take longer to orbit?

they are farther away


Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


How do inner planets differ?

Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.


How long does it take for outer planets to go all the way around?

Outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune take varying amounts of time to orbit around the Sun due to their distance from it. Jupiter takes about 12 years, Saturn about 29 years, Uranus about 84 years, and Neptune about 165 years to complete one orbit.


Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?

Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.


How do the orbits of the outer planets compare to the inner ones?

The outer planets take much more time and also travel longer to complete a whole orbit around the Sun, than the inner ones.


Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?

Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
