Measure: Click Reset (). Now you will measure how long it takes each planet to orbit the Sun. Notice that the date shown below the simulation is today's date. Drag an arrow from the left of the Gizmo and place it next to Mercury. Click Play. When Mercury completes one orbit (reaches the arrow), click Pause. Record Today's date and the One orbit date in the first row of the table below. Do the same steps for each planet, filling in the table as you go. For the outer planets, zoom out (-) and increase the Speed of the simulation.
