Mars has approximately half the diameter of Earth. Let's compare the sizes of Sun, Jupiter and the Earth. If the Sun was the size of a beach ball, then Jupiter would be a golf ball and the Earth would be like a pea! It takes Saturn 10,759 Earth days (or about 29 years), to finish one revolution around the Sun Uranus is a very cold planet and it receives 370 times less sunlight than Earth as it is far away from the Sun as compared to Earth. As Neptune is far away from the Sun, it completes an orbit on average every 164.79 years.
