Planets travel slowest at the?
A planet travels slowest at its apogee.
How does the distance affect the time it takes a planet to orbit?
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
Which planet travels the furthurest?
Of the 8 official planets Neptune has the biggest orbit so it travels the furthest.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect other characteristics of the planet?
It affects the characteristics of the planets by the highs and lows of the temperature of the planet. It also would affect, if there was, the life on the outer planets. If there were life on the outer planets, they would freeze. [Jupiter mostly heats itself by it's core. Jupiter was going to be a star, but it didn't weigh enough or wasn't hot enough to become a star.]
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?
Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.
Planets travel slowest at the?
A planet travels slowest at its apogee.
What is the distance from the planets?
the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.
How does the distance affect the time it takes a planet to orbit?
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
How does the distance affect the time it takes the earth and the other planets to go around the sun?
it can affect the time bec. when the planet is near the sun it will rotates very fast than the other far planets....
What planet travels around moon?
There are no planets that travel around the moon. The moon travels around Earth.
Which planet travels the furthurest?
Of the 8 official planets Neptune has the biggest orbit so it travels the furthest.
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
