What is the name for a planet's speed in its orbit?
It is the orbital velocity (speed and direction) or orbital speed (rate of motion). It is usually stated as "average orbital speed" but is actually "mean orbital speed."
What does the words orbital speed mean?
Orbital speed is the velocity (speed) of an object as it travels an orbital path around a reference point.
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
What is the formula for orbital speed?
Orbital speed = (circumference of the orbit) / (period of revolution)
What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?
There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27
Which planet orbits the fastest?
Mercury with a mean orbital speed of 47.87 km/s
How is orbital speed determined?
Orbital speed of a satellite: v - orbital speed G - gravitational consatnt R - radius of earth h - height of orbit
What is the orbital speed of Titan?
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has an orbital speed of about 5.57 km/s. This means it travels around Saturn at an average speed of 20,052 km/h.
How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
What is Venus orbital speed?

The orbital speed of Venus' and Neptune?
According to http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/, Venus has an orbital velocity of 78,341 mph, and Neptune's is 12,253 mph...
Does the weight of space junk affect its orbital speed?
If something is in orbit it's orbital speed is independent of its mass. Be it a gram or a tonne, it's speed depends only on its orbit; if it had a different speed it would be in a different orbit ( or none at all).
