In astronomy, the term period usually refers to how long an object takes to complete one cycle of revolution. In particular the orbital period of a star or planet is the time it takes to return to the same place in the orbit. Quasi-periodic oscillation. Jump to: navigation, search.
The period of one revolution of a planet's orbit is known as its sidereal period or year. A planet's year depends on its distance from its star; the farther a planet is from its star, not only the longer the distance it must travel, but also the slower its speed, because it is less affected by its star's gravity.
