What is Saturns orbit?
Elliptical orbit
What is the eccentricity of saturns orbit around the sun?
The eccentricity of Saturn's orbit around the Sun is approximately 0.056. This means that Saturn's orbit is slightly elliptical rather than a perfect circle.
What two planets surround Jupiter?
Jupiters orbit is between Mars and Saturn's orbit. Jupiters orbit can also be said to be within the orbits of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Why are asteroids safe in circular orbits but insafe in elleptical ones?
Asteroids are safer in a circular orbit than an elliptical orbit because being in an elliptical orbit causes them to tumble in an erratic manner. Larger asteroids are sometimes referred to as planetoids.
What is Jupiters orbit speed?
13.06km/s
Is a asteroid's orbit elliptical?
Yes. They orbit the Sun and as per Kepler's first law they follow an elliptical path. Do note that a circular orbit is a special type of elliptical orbit.
How do you define an orbit in astronomy?
An orbit is the circular or elliptical motion of one smaller body around another larger body due to gravitational attraction.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
What is saturns planet known for.?
The rings that it has and the moons that orbit around it.
What probe entered saturns orbit to study it in 2004?
Cassini
What is the shape of its orbit?
