∙ 12y agoJohannes Kepler formulated this relationship, known as Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This implies that planets further away from the sun take longer to complete one orbit.
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
A planet or comet's orbit that is farthest from the sun is called the aphelion. This is the point where they are at their greatest distance from the sun in their elliptical orbit.
Planets orbit stars.
Most dwarf planets are found in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune. They are believed to have formed in this region and represent a class of celestial bodies that are smaller than planets but larger than typical asteroids.
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.

It's called an APHELION
No. Our solar system includes the sun and the planets that orbit it.

No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Planets appear to line up in the sky from our perspective on Earth due to their alignment along our line of sight. This alignment is a result of the planets orbiting the sun in roughly the same plane. It's a relatively rare occurrence, but when it does happen, it can create a visually striking celestial sight.
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
The time of revolving depends on the distance so that the more distant planets take longer to get round, and as well as that they move more slowly, which makes them take even longer. The record is held by the dwarf planet Sedna, which takes 11,400 years for one revolution of its highly elliptical orbit.
