Around any single central body, objects in smaller orbitstravel at higher speed than
objects in larger orbits.
Also, for a highly elliptical orbit, like that of a comet, the speed is greatest when the
object is closest to the central body, and slowest when the object is farthest out.

What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?
-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.
Where the speed of a planet is fastest when it is revolving around the sun in its orbit 1 nearest to the sun 2 farthest to the sun 3its away but coming towards the sun 4 at any intermediate position?
The orbital speed of a planet is fastest when it is nearest the Sun.
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because?
On that date Earth is farthest away from the Sun.
Why at height the artificial sateillte not pulled toward the earth?
The satellite is being pulled by the earths gravity all of the time, but the satellite also has an orbital velocity, meaning that is is travelling at high speed. These two opposing forces balance out, the 'sideways' speed of the satellite wants to take it away into space, but the gravity of the earth is always pulling it in. The satellite maintains its speed as there there are no frictional forces to slow it down in space, so it maintains an orbit.
How many miles is Saturn's orbit?
Saturn's equatorial rotation velocity is 35 500 km/h, but remember it is a gas giant planet and the visible features on Saturn rotate at different rates depending on latitude. Thus multiple rotation periods have been assigned to various regions.
Which planet has the slower orbital speed Saturn or Jupiter?
Saturn is slower because it is farther from the sun. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the slower its orbital speed.
Explain why the relationship between orbital speed and distance is the same as that between gravity and distance?
gravity is that keeping the orbital speed from falling or breaking loose. and the distance away = time

An earth satellite in a elliptical moves with what speed?
The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.
Which planets have an orbital speed of less than 18 km per second?
Jupiter, and planets further away from the Sun than Jupiter.
If altitude increases the required orbital speed of a satellite should?
For any body in a closed orbit around another body, the farther apart the two bodies are, the slower the satellite moves in its orbit.. When the Space Shuttle is in "low earth orbit", it moves faster than the Moon is moving in its orbit. A satellite in an elongated orbit, that spends some of the time close to the earth and some of the time farther away, moves fastest at its lowest altitude, and slowest when it is furthest away.
What is positive accelerations?
Positive Acceleration refers to the force acting on an object whose speed increases as it moves away from its original starting position. If the velocity is increasing along with time it is called positive acceleration, and if the velocity decreases it is negative acceleration.
Do all galaxies move at the same speed?
As with all space questions about speed, it all depends on your point of reference. Within the Milky Way, the orbital rate of the stars increase as you move away from the centre of the galaxy.
How is the movement of the electrons different when the atoms are close together?
The electrons of the two atoms interact with each other and distort their orbital shapes
Outer planets have smaller orbital periods than inner planets?
They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.
The fastest moving planet in a solar system?
Relative to the sun, it Mercury. It orbits at a speed of 47.9 km per second, faster than any other planet. this is due to its closeness to the sun, the orbital speed of the planets get slower as we move away.
Where the speed of a planet is fastest when it is revolving around the sun in its orbit 1 nearest to the sun 2 farthest to the sun 3its away but coming towards the sun 4 at any intermediate position?
The orbital speed of a planet is fastest when it is nearest the Sun.
