  1. The closer you are to the sun the faster you move. So thats why Neptune is the slowest one...

    You would think pluto would be slowest since its last... but halfway ui its orbit it moves closer then neptune causing it  to move faster then neptune


  2. The closer the planet is to the Sun, the faster it orbits. So Mercury is fastest, Venus is 2nd fastest, Earth is 3rd and so on.

  3. The planet closest to the sun orbits the fastest.  That would be Mercury.  Mathematically, the orbital speed of a planet varies as the inverse square of the distance from the sun.  The square of the orbital period varies as the cube of the distance.

  4. The closer the planet is to the sun, the faster it goes. So that necessarily means Mercury, the closest one, is also the fastest planet. Aptly named after Mercury, the messenger of the gods.

  5. I'm guessing what you're asking (your English isn't very good).

    The closer a planet is in its orbit around the sun, the faster that planet moves and the shorter its "year" is.

    Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in our solar system, so it orbits the sun faster than any other planet (Mercury takes 88 Earth days to orbit the sun once).

    Next out is Venus, then Earth, and beyond that (in order) are Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
