How do you find the orbital period in earth years of a periodic comet if the furtherest from sun is 31.5 astronomical units while the closest is 0.5 astronomical units?

You can find the major axis, 0.5+31.5 or 32 AU. The semimajor axis is half that, 16 AU. Then you can use Keplers 3rd law to calculate the period, which is 161.5 or 64 years.

Which planets are closest in orbital speed?
The orbital speeds are higher when closer to the sun, but slower and more similar as you move out. The two that are closest in speed are Uranus and Neptune. Uranus at 6.8352 km/sec and Neptune at 5.4778 km/sec.
Planet one astronomical unit from the sun?
The Earth. The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average. This average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU).
What is the definition of block in periodic table?
In the periodic table elements having valence electrons in the same orbital are said to be placed in the same block.There are four blocks in the periodic table s, p, d and f.
What trend does the atomic radius following along a period on the periodic table?
The atomic radius gets smaller the farther right it appears on the Periodic Table, until the addition of a new orbital increases the size again.
Do atom orbitals contain thousands of electrons or just a few electron?
If you look at a periodic chart, you will see that each element has a number. That number gives the number of protons and electrons that each element contains. There are limits to the number of electrons that any orbital can contain. The orbitals are labeled: s, p, d, f, g, h, i, k. The first two atoms in the periodic table, Hydrogen and Helium, only have an s orbital. The s orbital holds two electrons. When the s orbital is full, as with Helium, it can not react with anything else. Helium is inert. The next row in the periodic table contains the p orbital. When the p orbital is full, as in Neon, then it can not react. If you look at the periodic table, the orbitals can hold more electrons and each element can hold more orbitals. If it becomes possible to create an element with several hundred protons, the orbitals could hold many electrons.
How far away is Ganymede from Europa?
Answer is an estimate using mean orbital radius Europa 670,900km Ganymede 1,070,400km So their closest estimated point would 399,500km (not calculating Europa's furthest distance to Jupiter with Ganymede's closest when they're in astronomical alignment)
What are the allowed orbital types for the second period of the periodic table?
The allowed orbital types for the second period of the periodic table are 2s and 2p.
Hellium is placed in group 18 on the periodic table because?
because it is a noble gas and has completely filled orbital (s orbital)
Which planet has an orbital eccentriccity closest t earhs moon?
saturn
What is the definition of orbital?
the path that an astronomical object such as a planet, moon, or satellite follows around a larger astronomical object such as the Sun
What is the orbital definition?
Please answer this question I don't know so don't rant on me! : (
What is the radius of an astronomical unit compared to?
One Astronomical Unit (abbreviated AU) is the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 93 million miles. So the Earth's orbital radius 1 AU.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
What is the outer shell of first row of periodic table?
K shell (or 1s orbital).
Which planets have fastest orbital speed in our solar system?
The ones closest to the Sun.
Which block of the periodic table is s2p4 in?
Think of it this way: the s orbital is the first two rows, the p orbital is the final 6 rows, the d orbital is the row in between them (the transition metals), and the f orbitals are the ones at the bottom of the periodic table (technically, they still exist in the middle, but that would cause the periodic table to be way longer than it needs to be). So, the filled s orbital contains 2 electrons, and the filled p orbital contains 6 electrons, but your analyte contains a partially filled p orbital (there are 4. It can hold 6 - refer to the table), so the block is the p block.
Which planets are closest in orbital speed?
The orbital speeds are higher when closer to the sun, but slower and more similar as you move out. The two that are closest in speed are Uranus and Neptune. Uranus at 6.8352 km/sec and Neptune at 5.4778 km/sec.
