| 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 Points:
* Closer to the Sun, the faster the orbit: Planets closer to the Sun experience stronger gravitational pull and thus have shorter orbital periods.
* Earth's year: An Earth year is the time it takes for our planet to complete one orbit around the Sun.
* Long orbital periods: The outer planets, like Uranus and Neptune, take much longer to orbit the Sun due to their vast distances.
