Planet years

This task is about reading a table to work out how far a planet is from the Sun.
The length of a year is the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun. Because of the distances in space, the speed the planets travel can be thought of as similar.
Use the information on the length of a year for each planet to answer the questions below.
