It varies: The planets closer to the Sun move faster (Kepler's Third Law). Mercury is fastest; according to Wikipedia, its average orbital speed is 47.87 km/s. Multiply that by 0.6 to get the approximate speed in miles per second.

Why do the outer planets in the Solar System have much longer year lengths than the inner planets?

There are two reasons. First, since they are farther from the sun they have longer orbital path. Second at a greater distance from the sun the sun's gravity is weaker, giving the outer planets a slower orbital speed.

Why do planets differ in their orbital speed?

Because according to Kepler's laws the orbital speed of a planet is proportional to the square root of the reciprocal of the distance: v = d-½.

What is Mars' speed of travel in miles per hour?

The orbital speed goes with the inverse square-root of distance. The Earth at 1 astronomical unit goes at 18.5 miles per second, so Mars at 1.52 astronomical units travels at 18.5/sqrt(1.52) or 15 miles/sec.
