How does the tangential velocity of a planet relate to it orbiting around the sun?

The tangential velocity is equal to the circumference of the orbit divided by the time taken to go round once. For the Earth that is 2pi time 149.6 million kilometres divided by 365.25 days, which comes to 2.57 million km per day or 30 km/sec.


Why does it take less than 365 earth days for mercury and venus to complete one revolution around the sun?

Mercury and Venus take less time to complete one orbit of the sun, since they are closer to the sun. They have less distance to travel, and are orbiting at a greater tangential speed.


How do you calculate speed and distance in space?

The answer depends on what information, if any, you have. If your question is in the context of space walks near earth-orbiting stations, you could have gyroscopes that measures your movement. Distance is easily measured, especially with laser range-finders, Change in distance is velocity and so on.


What planet is phoebe orbiting?

Phoebe is one of the moons of Saturn. See related link for more information.


How do you measure the mass of the black hole at the galactic center?

If you observe an object in an elliptical orbit around something, AND you know the mass of the orbiting object AND the size of the orbit, you can calculate the mass of the object at the center (more precisely, at one of the foci) of the orbit. We observe several stars orbiting the super-massive black hole at our galactic center. We can calculate their mass based on the light they give off, and we can measure their orbits over time. From this, we can calculate the mass of that black hole.


Which type of satellites circle the Earth and provide global information from 540 miles above the Earth?

I used Newton's version of Kepler's third law to calculate Saturn's mass from orbital characteristics of its moon Titan?

Yes, the equation p2 = a3, where p is a planet's orbital period in years and a is the planet's average distance from the Sun in AU. This equation allows us to calculate the mass of a distance object if we can observe another object orbiting it and measure the orbiting object's orbital period and distance.
