Yes. According to classical physics, by itself, a planet will basically go around the Sun in a stable orbit, the distance would not change. But the planets also attract each other, so their orbits can and will gradually change. Also, due to the acceleration of the planets, gravitational waves are emitted; this loss in energy means the planet will gradually get closer to the Sun. This effect is neglibible, compared to the previous one.

Is the distance between the planets and sun changing?

The distance between the planets and the sun typically remains fairly constant over time. The orbits of the planets are generally stable due to the gravitational forces between the sun and the planets. Any changes in distance are usually minimal and occur over long time scales.


What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?

If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.

What is the relationship between the distance of the planets from the sun and the time it takes to revolve around the sun?

there is no true relationship between distance from the sun and orbit time as some planets go revolves at a different velocity.


Why is the distance between earth and the sun alaways changing?

The Earths orbit around the sun is not a regular and central circle, or perfectly flat. The same can be said of all planets with varying degrees. This means that the Earth is sometimes slightly closer to the sun, while further at other times. The planets generally maintain an average distance from the sun though.


How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?

The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.


What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?

Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.


What is the distances between the earth and the others planets in kilometers?

Because all of the planets are orbiting the SUN, the distance between Earth and the other planets are always changing. Take Venus, for example. Right now, Venus is between the Sun and Earth, so the distance to Venus is only about 40 million miles. In about 8 months, when Venus is on the other side of the Sun from us, the distance will be more like 130 million miles. There is a free planetarium program called Stellarium that you can download and install, which will allow you to calculate the distance from Earth to any other planet or moon.


Which of these does not contribute to the changing of seasons A distance between the Earth and Moon B distance between Earth and Sun C distance between Earth and Venus D alignment of the Universe?

D. Alignment of the Universe does not contribute to the changing of seasons. The changing of seasons is primarily influenced by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun (B), along with the varying distance between the Earth and the Sun (C) throughout the year. The distance between the Earth and the Moon (A) mainly affects tides on Earth.


What is the distance between planets?

The distances between the planets vary all the time since they all orbit the Sun at different rates.
