What is the longest known orbital period?

What is the longest known orbital period?

Given its distance from the Sun, Neptune has the longest orbital period of any planet in the Solar System. As such, a year on Neptune is the longest of any planet, lasting the equivalent of 164.8 years (or 60,182 Earth days).

What is the farthest exoplanet discovered?

The most distant potentially habitable planet confirmed is Kepler-1606b, at 2870 light-years distant, although the unconfirmed planet KOI-5889.01 is over 5,000 light-years distant.

How long would it take to get to Kepler 452b?

about 26 million years
The fastest current spacecraft, the New Horizons unmanned probe that passed Pluto in July 2015, travels at just 56,628 km/h (35,187 mph; 0.00037853 AU/h). At that speed, it would take a spacecraft about 26 million years to reach Kepler-452b from Earth, if it was going in that direction.

How long does it take for Kepler to orbit the sun?

372.5 days
Kepler orbits the Sun, which avoids Earth occultations, stray light, and gravitational perturbations and torques inherent in an Earth orbit. NASA has characterized Kepler’s orbit as “Earth-trailing”. With an orbital period of 372.5 days, Kepler is slowly falling farther behind Earth (about 16 million miles per annum).

How long are the planets orbits?

The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. A year is the time it takes the earth to make one revolution – a little over 365 days….The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives.

Planet Rotation Period Revolution Period
Earth 0.99 days 365.26 days
Mars 1.03 days 1.88 years
Jupiter 0.41 days 11.86 years

How long are days on exoplanets?

about eight hours
For the first time, scientists know how long a day is on an exoplanet. In a new study of the alien world Beta Pictoris b, which spins much faster than any planet in our solar system, astronomers found that the exoplanet has a day only about eight hours long.
