The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.

The outer planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have larger orbits around the sun because they are farther away. Their orbits are more elliptical, which means they take longer to complete a full orbit compared to the inner planets like Earth and Mars, which have smaller and more circular orbits.

Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?

Outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have larger orbits because they are farther away from the Sun compared to inner planets. This increased distance leads to a longer orbital period, resulting in longer years to complete one full orbit around the Sun.

What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
