All the outer planets of our solar system-the "gas giants"-orbit the sun much more quickly than the inner planets. True or False?

When a planet is far away from the Sun (that is, outer planets), their trajectory around the sun is bigger, therefore they will need more time to orbit around the Sun.

So outer planets take a longer time, and inner planets are quicker.

Therefore the correct answer is FALSE.
