  • Planetary Orbits: Orbital Periods & Distances from the Sun
    Here's a table showing the orbital periods of the planets in our solar system, along with their distances from the Sun:

    | Planet | Orbital Period (Earth Years) | Average Distance from Sun (AU) |

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

    | Mercury | 0.24 | 0.39 |

    | Venus | 0.62 | 0.72 |

    | Earth | 1.00 | 1.00 |

    | Mars | 1.88 | 1.52 |

    | Jupiter | 11.86 | 5.20 |

    | Saturn | 29.46 | 9.54 |

    | Uranus | 84.01 | 19.22 |

    | Neptune | 164.79 | 30.06 |

    Key:

    * AU stands for Astronomical Unit, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.

    * Orbital Period is the time it takes a planet to complete one full orbit around the Sun.

    Important Notes:

    * These are average distances and orbital periods. The actual orbits of planets are slightly elliptical, meaning their distances and speeds vary throughout their orbits.

    * Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but a dwarf planet. Its orbital period is about 248 Earth years.
