How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
Generally, the closer a planet is to the sun, the warmer it is.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its period of revolution?
Yes, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.
the further away you are from the sun the colder the place is.
Yes. The grater the distance, the longer an object takes to orbit.
The tidal effect of a body increases as a cube of the distance.
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
1: The size of the planet.2: The planet's distance from the Sun.3: The "albedo" of the planet (the percentage of the Sun's light it reflects).If you mean how bright the planet appears to us on Earth, then the distance from Earth is obviously very important.
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.
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.
