• Mercury takes 88 days to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Venus takes.... more than a year to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Earth our planet takes 365 days which is one year to orbit the sun

• Uranus takes 30,687 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter or Saturn!
• Neptune takes 60,190 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus!
• Pluto takes a huge number days of 90,155 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus, and Neptune!

Here's all planets and how does it take to complete it's orbit around the sun now you know how many days does each planet take to complete a orbit

Now for a cool Astronomy Moment

Let's say you weigh about 95 pounds on Earth.
Check out this list on how much you'll weigh on other planets

• Moon: 15 pounds
• Pluto: 3 Pounds
• Jupiter: 222 Pounds (like whoa!)
• Mercury: 27 Pounds
• Venus: 86 Pounds
• Saturn: 87 Pounds
• Mars: 36 Pounds

You see the mass of the planets effect the gravitational pull like for Jupiter it's a gas giant but it's mass is much heavier compared to Earth.
