Jupiter's gravity works against the sun's gravity to keep the asteroid belt in place. The sun pull one way and Jupiter pull the other way, and because Jupiter is closer the gracity between it and the astroids is the same as the gravity between the sun and the astroids. This caused the astroids to stay in one place, as what we know as the Astroid Belt.
Orbital resonances with Jupiter have influenced the distribution of asteroids in the asteroid belt by creating gaps known as Kirkwood gaps. These gaps occur at specific distances from Jupiter where orbital resonances with the planet prevent the accumulation of asteroids. As a result, asteroids in these resonant orbits are either ejected from the belt or pushed into different orbits.
distinguish between primitive meteroities and processed meteorities in term of both composition and orgins
Yes, Jupiter is in a 2:1 orbital resonance with the planet Saturn. This means that for every two orbits Jupiter completes around the Sun, Saturn completes one orbit. This resonance helps stabilize the orbits of these two massive planets over long periods of time.
The orbital with the least amount of energy is the 1s orbital, the innermost orbital in an atom. This orbital has the lowest energy level because it is closest to the nucleus.
The fourth orbital, which is the 4d orbital, can hold up to 10 electrons. This orbital has a higher energy level than the 3d orbital and can accommodate more electrons. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons per subshell (s, p, d, f).
A wave function describes the behavior of an electron in an atom. An orbital represents a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron. The wave function is used to calculate the probability density of an electron in an orbital.
The orbital velocity of an object depends on its distance from the center of mass it is orbiting. For example, the orbital velocity of the Moon around Earth is about 1 km/s, while the orbital velocity of the International Space Station (ISS) around Earth is about 8 km/s.
Orbital resonances with Jupiter
Io orbits Jupiter on an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonances with other satellites.
The orbital resonances cause Io to have an elliptical orbit which leads to tidal heating. Tidal heating makes Io the most volcanic object in our solar system.
The majority of asteroids are found between Mars and Jupiter.
the period of an orbiting asteroid would be a simple fraction (like 1/3 or 1/4) of Jupiter's orbital period.
it is twelve years. but im only 10 months, and my dads 13 months so im am really sure about this foolish answer.
The asteroid belt formed from the primordial solar nebula as a group of planetesimals. Planetesimals are the smaller precursors of protoplanets. Between Mars and Jupiter, however, gravitational perturbations from Jupiter imbued the protoplanets with too much orbital energy for them to accrete into a planet.
Each individual member of the asteroid 'belt' ... and there may be millions of them ... revolves around the sun in its own orbit and with its own orbital period. Most of them stay between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, so their orbital periods are between 2 years and 12 years.
In space, orbiting the sun. Its orbital position is fourth, between the Earth and Jupiter or, more specifically, between the Earth and the asteroid belt.
Ganymede, the moon of Jupiter, is in orbit around Jupiter so its transit around the Sun would be the same as Jupiter's, about 11.8 Earth years. 1036 Ganymede, the asteroid, has an orbital period of about 4.34 Earth years.
Planets with elliptical orbits are affected by the difference in the strength of the Sun's gravity as they move closer to, or farther away from, the Sun. The only other major effect on planets are the gravity of other planets, notably Jupiter and Neptune. Except for Mars, Ceres, Pluto, and trans-Neptunian planets, the effect is extremely small -- it has resulted in stable orbital resonances between several small outer planets and the planet Neptune.
The majority of the known asteroids spend the majority of their orbital periods at distances from the sun that are between the distances of Mars and Jupiter, so that's where you'll see the "asteroid belt" located on a sketch of the solar system.
