Question

Based on the data, which of the following explains the relationship between the distance of the planet from the Sun and its planetary motion around the sun?

A. The planets with the least distance from the sun experience a longer time of revolution and shorter days of rotation.

B. The planets with the least distance from the sun experience a shorter time of revolution and shortest days of rotation.

C. The planets with the greatest distance from the sun experience a longer time of revolution and longer days of rotation.

D. The planets with the greatest distance from the sun experience a longer time of revolution and shorter days of rotation.

Answer 1

Answer is B! Just think about mercury or Venus! Mercury takes 88 earth days to rotate around the sun and Venus takes 225. The farther you go out into space, the longer it takes to orbit the sun, because there’s a longer distance. It takes Pluto 248 years, and Neptune takes 165 years:)
