What planets orbital speed is about 30 kilometers per second?
earth orbital speed is 30 kilometers per second!!
How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying the earth helps scientists to understand other planets since the earth is part of the solar system. Scientists use the features of the earth to compare them with what other planets hold.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What are the first 5 planets of the sun?
Starting at the Sun, and working outwards by average orbital distance, the planets of the Solar System are.... # Mercury # Venus # Earth # Mars # Jupiter # Saturn # Uranus # Neptune
Which planets have larger orbital radii terrestrial planets are gas giants?
Within our own solar system, terrestrial (or rocky) planets have smaller orbital distances than any of the gas giant planets. The "inner" planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all rocky, while the "outer" planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all gas giants. However, we have no reason to believe that this is some universal principle; we would expect to find every possible distribution of planets at any distances.
What planets orbital speed is about 30 kilometers per second?
earth orbital speed is 30 kilometers per second!!
What 2 planets have a faster orbital velocity than earth?
Any planets that are nearer to the sun than the earth is. The two known ones are Mercury and Venus.
Will earth crash in to any other planets?
No. As of current known orbital data, the Earth will never be in a position to collide with another planet.
How does earth compare to the diameterof the outer planets?
The Earth's diameter of 8000 miles compares with 33,000-88,000 miles for the four outer planets.
How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying the earth helps scientists to understand other planets since the earth is part of the solar system. Scientists use the features of the earth to compare them with what other planets hold.
Is mars closet to planet earth?
It depends. Which planet is closest to Earth depends on where each of the planets is in its orbit, the planets all have different orbital periods. At any given time the closest planet to Earth may be Mercury, Venus, or Mars. Of all the planets, Venus comes closest.
What do you compere Jupiter to?
You can compare it to many other planets including: Earth, Uranus, and Mars.
Far above the earth's north pole the orbital motion of the planets is?
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
How does the Moon's rate of rotation about its own axis compare with its rate of revolution around Earth?
This has to do with the different orbital planets of Earth and the Moon. Earth revolves around the Sun in flat planar orbit. The Moon similarly revolves about Earth in flat planar orbit. But the planets are slightly tipped with respect to each other - a 5.2* tilt The moons rotation on its axis is equal to its orbit round the Earth with respect to the sun and stars. It presents one side permanently to the Earth so in relation to the earth it does not rotate.
What is the time it takes a planet to make a single trip around the sun?
This is known as the planets orbital period. For the Earth, this is one year.
What is a time a planet takes to make a single trip around the sun?
This is known as the planets orbital period. For the Earth, this is one year.
How does the length of a year on Mars compare with the length of year on Earth?
Mars, with a orbital period of around 687 days, almost two Earth years (1.88 earth years).
