Answer 1

To determine which planet takes the longest to complete one revolution around the Sun, we can refer to the "Length of Year (Earth years)" property from the table.

Here are the values for the planets:

• Venus: 0.62 years
• Earth: 1.0 year
• Mars: 1.9 years
• Jupiter: 11.9 years
• Saturn: 29.4 years
• Neptune: 164.8 years

From this information, we can see that Neptune has the longest length of year at 164.8 years.

So the correct response is Neptune.
