Having an elliptical orbit means there is a point for each comet where it is a comet's orbit can be changed over many years by gravity, until it is long and thin.

If a space shuttle goes into a higher orbit what happens to its period?

If a space shuttle enters a higher orbit, its period increases. This is because the higher the orbit, the greater the distance to travel around the Earth, which results in a longer time for one complete orbit.

Why do planets have different numbers of days in their years?

Well, basically different planets take longer to orbit the Sun. For example, Jupiter takes longer to orbit than earth, so Jupiter has a longer year. On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year as it takes longer to spin on its axis that to orbit the sun.

What is the orbit time around the earth?

Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

Why could a year on another planet be longer than ours?

a year basically means how long it takes for a planet to make a complete orbit around its sun... the earth's is 364.25 days. Planets farther than ours e.g. mars, Jupiter etc. have longer orbit therefore take longer to complete an orbit around the sun, therefore a longer year :)


Why does Jupiter have a longer year than earth?

Jupiter's longer year is due to its larger orbit around the Sun. The distance it needs to travel in its elliptical orbit is larger than Earth's, resulting in a longer orbital period. Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.
