What asteroid missed the earth by about twice the distance to the moon in 1937?

Why does the sun have more gravity?

If you mean more than Earth, it has more mass. Twice the mass will cause twice the amount of gravity (at the same distance).

How long would a planet twice the distance away from the sun as earth orbit the sun?

700 days

How far is the Europa from earth?

Actually, 800 million miles is almost twice the distance from Jupiter to the Sun. On average, europa is 390,310,112.067miles from Earth, about.

What is the field strength at a distance one Earth radius beyond the surface?

I assume you mean, of the gravitational field? The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At a distance of 1 Earth radius, the distance from the center of the Earth is twice the distance at the Earth's surface; thus, the field strength is 1/4 what it is on the surface. If at the surface the field strength is about 9.8 meters per second square, divide that by 4 to get the field strength at a distance of one Earth radius from the surface.I assume you mean, of the gravitational field?

If an object in space is 2 aus from the sun then this object is?

In space, an object that is 2 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun is located at a distance roughly twice the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. This object would be within the inner solar system, closer to the sun than most of the major planets but farther away than Mercury.

Is asteroid belt is a inside or a outside?

The Asteroid Belt is located inside our solar system and inside the Milky Way galaxy,. But all of the above mentioned are outside, as meaning "not inside" haha,. Hope I could help The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter.

12. A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the Earth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of?

If a satellite is placed in an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the Earth's radius (i.e., at a height equal to the Earth's radius), its weight would be reduced due to the inverse square law of gravitation. The gravitational force acting on the satellite at this distance is one-fourth of that on the surface, meaning it would weigh 25% of its weight at the Earth's surface. Hence, if its weight at the surface is ( W ), at this orbit it would weigh ( \frac{W}{4} ).

In kilometers how much larger is the distance around the earth from east to west than the distance north to south?

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 40,075.16 kilometers or 24,901.55 miles. The shorter circumference of the earth over the poles is 40,007.86 kilometers or 24,859.73 miles. The difference is 67.3 kilometers or 41.82 miles. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, a geoid (earth-like).

What is Gravitational force between earth and moon if the moon moves twice the distance away from earth?

The mutual force of gravitation between two masses is inversely proportional to the squareof the distance between their centers.So, when the distance between any two masses doubles, the gravitational force between themdecreases by a factor of 4 . . . it drops to 25%of its original value.

Why can Saturn be seen from earth but not Uranus?

Uranus orbits at about twice the distance that Saturn does, and it is somewhat smaller. This makes it much fainter in the night sky.

If we double the distance from the Earth's center of a satellite that has been in synchronous orbit around the Earth what will its new period be?

It should have to travel twice as far((2Pi x radius) vs. 2(2Pi x Radius)). At the same speed it should take twice as long.

Which planet has twice the earth period of revolution?

Mars has roughly twice the Earth's period of revolution.
