Q: What planet orbits the fastest around the sun

Hello, fellow planet lover! I have the answer to your question!

Mercury is definitely the fastest sun orbiter, speeding around the sun at 47.87 km/s. In miles per hour (mph) form, that basically means Mercury is rotating around the sun at 107,082 miles per hour! Venus is the second fastest, coming in at 35.02 km/s, or 78,337 miles per hour.

Hope this helped you out!
