Explanation:

To solve the problem of ordering the planets by their orbital period (longest to shortest time to orbit the Sun), we use the knowledge of planetary orbital periods:

Step 1: Recall Orbital Periods

• Mercury: Shortest orbital period (88 Earth days).
• Earth: ~365 days.
• Mars: ~687 days.
• Jupiter: ~12 years (4,333 days).
• Neptune: Longest orbital period (165 years, ~60,190 days).

Step 2: Order from Longest to Shortest

Longest time (slowest orbit) → Shortest time (fastest orbit):

1. Neptune (longest)
2. Jupiter
3. Mars
4. Earth
5. Mercury (shortest)

Answer:

Longest time: Neptune → Jupiter → Mars → Earth → Shortest time: Mercury
