By Keplers 3rd Law T² α R³\n\nOr T1²R1³ = T2²R2³\nFor earth R = 1 and T = 1 and for Jupiter R = 5.2\nSo T2²/5.2³ = 1²/1³\nSo T2 = 5.2^(3/2)\n≈11.86 years

Saturn is much closer to Jupiter. Jupiter averages 484 million miles from the sun. Saturn averages 886 million miles from the sun. Uranus averages 1783 miles from the sun. Simple math puts Jupiter closer to Saturn than Uranus. Jupiter is 402 million miles from Saturn. Uranus is 897 million miles from Saturn.

B is wrong.  Jupiter spins once every 9 hours and 55 minutes while earth spins once every 24.

The length of the earth's orbit (orbital circumference) is 924,375,700 kilometres according to wikipedia.

the solar system is a little more complex than that.  everything in the solar system orbits a common center of mass called a barycenter.  the more massive objects are closest to it so the sun is closest.  jupiter is so massive that the solar system's barycenter is outside the solar surface.  the earth is farther away so it essentially orbits around the sun while the sun orbits the barycenter.  the earth and moon orbit their own common center of mass.  this barycenter is within the earth so the moon essentially orbits the earth.  i hope this answers your question.\n\nread these pages:\nhttp://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/barycntr.shtml\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_system

It takes longer since it is furthest away from the sun.  since a year is how long a planet takes to orbit the sun, the farthest away you are, the longer it takes.

The rotation of the Earth on it's axis does not vary, but the speed of orbit about the sun does, to a tiny degree.  Earth is slightly closer to the sun in the winter months, thus orbits slight faster (and I mean infinitesimally faster).\nAs far as speed- Earth is about 25,000 miles in circumference, if orbits exactly once a day (24 hours) to the speed is a little over 1,000 miles an hour.\nEarth is 93 million miles from the sun, on average-this means the total orbital distance is 93 million X 2 X 3.14 = 584 million miles.  It goes this far in exactly 1 year-364.8 day or (364.8 X 24) 8733 hours. So, 584 million/8733 = about 66,500 miles/hour.  I just checked online and it says about 65,000, so there ya go

You have to find the Least Common Multiple.\nFirst we know that it's going to be 84 or more years because Uranus takes 84 years to complete one orbit.\n So we know that the other planets' time length to make one orbit has to go into 84. \nFirst I did Earth: 84/1 = 84. \nNow I need to do Jupiter: 84/12 = 7. \nNext I do Saturn: 84/30 = 2 remainder 24. \nSo now I need to find a common multiple of 30 and 84. \n84 x 2 = 168 (no). 84 x 3 = 252 (no). 84 x 4 = 336 (no). 84 x 5 = 420 (yes).\n\n  14 \n  30)420 \n  -30 \n  --- \n  120 \n  -120 \n  --- \n  0 \n\nSo 420 is the number that goes into all the time lengths for the planets. Therefore we find out out that they will align once in 420 years.\nIf you knew the last time they were all in a line. You add that year + 420 and you get the next year when they will alll be in a line.

Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 3,670,050,000 miles (5,906,380,000 kilometers).

The Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.  When it is closest to the Sun it is a distance of 91.4 million miles.  At it's furthest it is 94.5m miles.  The distance between the Earth and the Sun is also known as 1AU (astronomical unit).

The rate at which solar radiation reaches a unit of area in space in the region of the Earth's orbit is: 1,366 W/m².\n\nDistance from the Sun:\n- Earth's orbit: RE = 1 AU (Astronomic Unit) = 1.496*10^11 m\n- Jupiter's Orbit: RJ = 5.20 AU = 7.7792*10^11 m\n\nIf energy is proportional to 1/r²:\nrate of solar radiation at Earth: SE = k/(RE)² = 1,366 W/m²\nrate of solar radiation at Jupiter: SJ = k/(RJ)² = ????\n\ncombining equations:\nSJ = (1.496*10^11 m)²(1,366 W/m²)/(7.7792*10^11 m)²\nSJ = 50.51 W/m²

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 149,590,787 km or 92,951,640 mi. This distance is called an Astronomical Unit (AU). The orbit of the Earth deviates a bit from a circle, so the distance between the Earth and the Sun isn't always the same. The Earth is closest to the Sun (in the perihelion of the Earth's orbit) around 4 January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere of the Earth and summer in the southern hemisphere, and is furthest from the Sun (in the aphelion of the Earth's orbit) around 4 July, when it is summer in the north and winter in the south.\n\nThe difference between the distances on 4 January and 4 July is about 3 percent, which corresponds to about 5 million km or 3 million mi.

Ganymede. It orbits Jupiter.

The earth moves around the sun at a mean distance of 93,000,000 miles.\nAnother point of interest, the earth is more than 4500 million years old.

Which one?  They're not all the same you know.\n\nLet's say 400,000 years for safe\n\nOK ok,\n\nr = 30 trillion miles\nC = 2πr\nOrbit length = 188.5 trillion miles\nPluto orbits at something like 2 km/sec which translates to 5369 mph.  Let's divide that by 4 for silly [Outer objects travel slower than inner objects].  That's 1342 mph.  Dividing...\n140,461,997 hours.  16,023 earth years.

It all depends where you draw the line.\n\nThe planet Pluto has the most eccentric orbit of all of the planets, but Pluto's orbit takes it to 49.5 Astronomical Units, 7.4 billion kilometers, at the farthest point from the Sun. \n\nThe Oort cloud is an immense spherical cloud surrounding the planetary system and extending approximately 3 light years, about 30 trillion kilometers from the Sun. This vast distance is considered the edge of the Sun's orb of physical, gravitational, or dynamical influence.
