  • Planetary Orbital Periods: A Solar System Timeline
    Here's a table showing the orbital periods (time to complete one revolution around the Sun) of the 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 |

    Key takeaway: The further a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbital period. This is due to Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, which states that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun.
