Which planet will take the longest amount of time to orbit the sun?

A. Jupiter
B. Mars
C. Mercury
D. Uranus

Answered by admin @ 04/12/2021

The planet that will take the longest amount of time to orbit the Sun is D) Uranus

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

$T^2\propto a^2$

where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis

This means that the farther a planet is from the Sun (larger value of $a$ ), the longer its period of revolution (larger $T$ ).

Among the planets given, Uranus is the farthest from the Sun: therefore, this means that it is also the planet that has the longest period of revolution.
