The speed of a planet in its elliptical orbit around the sun?
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
The speed of a planet in its orbit around the Sun depends primarily on the planet's?
Distance from the Sun. (The closer it is, the faster it moves.)
When a planet is farthest from the sun what is the speed of it's orbit?
The exact number depends on the individual planet, and the exact shape and eccentricity of its orbit. The one general statement that can be made for every planet is that when it's farthest from the sun, it's moving at the slowest speed relative to the sun of any point in its entire orbit.
What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What is the curved path of a planet around the sun?
The curved path is called the orbit. Each planet has its own orbit. Some are faster and some are slower. They are caused by the gravity of the planet and the sun
Each planet moves in a different orbit and at a different?
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.

What is the average speed of a stone?
Fairly fast. It makes a complete orbit of the planet every 24 hours and around the sun each year. Relative to the planet though, the speed is zero mph.
How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
Why does the planet gets closer to the sun why does it occurs?
It requires a VERY SPECIFIC speed for a planet to have an orbit that is exactly circular. Let's assume, for example, that at a certain point in the orbit, the planet's speed is less than this specific speed. In that case, the Sun's attraction will pull the planet closer to the Sun.This, in turn, will make the planet faster; and half an orbit later, it will be faster enough to "escape" from the Sun again. The final result of all this is that the planet will move around the Sun in an elipse.

How does the speed of a planet depends on its distance from the sun?
This was worked out by Kepler about 400 years ago. Kepler's second law of planetary motion shows how a planet moves faster when it's nearer, in its elliptical orbit, to the Sun. Kepler's third law relates the time a particular planet takes to orbit the Sun to its average distance from the Sun. A planet which is farther from the Sun has a slower orbital speed than a planet closer to the Sun.
The journey that each planet makes around the sun is called what?
orbit
What describes the path that each planet travels around the Sun?
orbit
