Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jupiter moves more slowly around the Sun than Venus or Earth due to its greater distance from the Sun. According to Kepler's third law, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbital period. Jupiter, being much farther from the Sun than either Venus or Earth, has a longer orbital period and thus moves more slowly in its orbit.
