Yes. One of the physical laws that describe orbits in response to a central force is the fact that the smaller the orbit, the faster the orbiting body travels. Earth's average speed in its orbit around the sun is 18.5 miles (29.8 km) per second. Mercury's average speed in its orbit around the sun is 29.7 miles (47.9 km) per second.

Why is Mercury's and Venus's period of orbit less than earth's?

Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth. As a result, they have a shorter way to travel, for a complete orbit around the Sun. Besides, they also go faster - this is also related to their smaller distance from the Sun.
