A planets maximum distance from the sun is the what of its orbit?
The apogee.
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
The point in a planet's orbit where it reaches its maximum distance from the Sun is called the Aphelion.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The apogee.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.

The apogee.
Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?
The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?
the closer you are to the sun it affects the planets speed cause of the suns gravitational pull
Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?
Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
