What else can I help you with?
If a planet had two moons and one moon was twice as far from the planet as the other which moon would complete an orbit of the planet first?
The moon closer to the planet would complete an orbit first because it has a smaller orbit, which means it has a shorter distance to travel around the planet compared to the moon that is farther away.
When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?
This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.
For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.
Who first orbited the moon?
The first manned mission to orbit the moon was Apollo 8 in 1968. The crew consisted of Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders. They were the first humans to travel beyond Earth's orbit and see the far side of the moon.
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
Is there gravity pulling on orbiting shuttle?
Absolutely; the gravitational field of the planet Earth extends to the shuttle and much farther; the moon is held in its orbit by the Earth's gravity, and the shuttle doesn't travel nearly as far as the moon.
How can you land on the moon?
Get a rocket that takes you from Earth's surface to Moon's orbit, and use a Lunar Lander to travel from Moon's orbit to surface. That's the way Apollo missions did.You will have to use a rocket to get there.
How people learned about the far side of the moon?
simple, we sent a satellite to orbit the moon and take pictures
Is the moon apogee near to or far from the earth?
"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
How long does it take to travel from the moon to the earth?
The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit
What is the circle of the moon that travel around the earth?
That would be it's orbit. The moon orbits the earth in roughly a circular path.
What causes the moon to revolve around earth in an ellipse-shaped orbit?
The gravitational attraction of the earth on the moon. The ellipse including a circle indicates a captured orbit. If the moon was not captured it could travel the path of a parabola or Hyperbola.
