Question

How do the orbits of the planets farthest from the sun compare to the orbits of the planets closest to the sun?

Answer 1

closer orbit less distance to travel round shorter time taken for complete orbit. further orbit further to travel longer time for complete orbit

Answer 2

Answer: A) Planets farthest from the sun have elliptical orbit with longer periods of rotation.

Explanation: All orbits around the sun are elliptic, but the planetary orbits look more like a circle, while the comet orbits look more like a cigar. The earth's distance from the sun varies about 5% from closest to farthest, for a comet we see a factor of 30 times or more.
