Why Doesnt earth orbit the sun fasteR?
Geoff G is right Keplers 3rd law tells us there is a relationship between period of orbit and distance from the sun however – you need to be careful when comparing to exoplanets – the precise relationship in keplers law depends on the mass of the star – so planet at the same distance as earth would not necessarily have the same orbital period. A more massive star would give a shorter period to a planet at the same distance…
