What describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun?
As the planet approaches perihelion (point of nearest approach to the Sun), its orbital velocity gets faster, and it is fastest at perihelion. Similarly, at aphelion (point of furthest approach to the Sun), the orbital velocity is slowest.
Which planet is travelling the most quickly around the Sun and what's its average orbital speed?
Mercury is the closest known planet to the sun, in terms of its average orbital distance. It's also the one with the highest speed in its orbit, and the one with the shortest period of revolution or 'year'.Mercury's average distance from the sun: 36 million miles (58 million km)Average orbital speed: 29.7 miles (47.9 km) per secondPeriod of revolution around the sun: 88 earth days
Why is the earths orbital velocity fastest at perihelion?
the suns gravitational pull is strongest because the earth is at its closest point to the sun.
Which planet revolves faster around the sun?
Mercury has fastest orbital speed.
What body has the fastest orbital speed as it orbits the sun asteroid or comet?
comet
Which inner planet has the largest orbital velocity?
Mercury is the fastest orbiting planet in the inner Solar System, with an average orbital velocity of 47.87 km/s.
When is earth's orbital velocity the fastest?
perihelion
When is the earth orbital velocity the fastest?
perihelion
What planet has the fastest orbital velocity?
Mercury
What is the smallest and fastest-moving of all planets?
Mercury is, with a diameter of 4879km, a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and an orbital velocity of 47.9km/s.
The velocity of the action potential is fastest in which of the following axons?
a small myelinated axon
Which planet of your solar system has the fastest orbiting speed?
Mercury has the fastest orbital velocity, at about 49 thousand kilometers per second.Mercury: 48.651Venus: 34.874Earth: 29.663Mars: 24.025Jupiter: 13.012Saturn: 9.604Uranus: 6.749Neptune: 5.410These number are based on major-axis, and on an assumed circular orbit, so they will not agree with the official stated mean orbital velocity.
