Question
examine the data in the table below and compare the properties of the different planets to those of earth. properties of objects in the solar system
consider what you know about orbital paths around the sun. what two properties contribute the most to the dramatic differences in revolution time for the planets listed?
distance from the sun and speed
speed and number of moons
number of moons and rotation time
rotation time and distance from the sun
The distance from the Sun affects the length of a planet's orbital path (longer for those farther out), and the speed determines how quickly a planet traverses that path. These two factors - distance from the Sun and speed - most significantly influence the revolution time.
