  • Planetary Orbits: Orbital Periods of the Planets in Our Solar System
    Here's a table showing the orbital periods of the eight planets in our solar system:

    | Planet | Orbital Period (Earth Years) |

    |--------------|------------------------------|

    | Mercury | 0.24 |

    | Venus | 0.62 |

    | Earth | 1.00 |

    | Mars | 1.88 |

    | Jupiter | 11.86 |

    | Saturn | 29.46 |

    | Uranus | 84.01 |

    | Neptune | 164.79 |

    As you can see, the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its orbital period. This is because the planets' orbits are elliptical, and the farther they are from the sun, the slower they travel.
