The distance between the sun and a planet determines its orbital period, its orbital speed, and the amount of insolation. Other factors such as composition and albedo are required to determine other variables.

How big will a planet be if it is located far from the sun?

The size of a planet is not related to it's distance from the sun. Planet mass and orbital velocity are factors that determine it's distance from the sun.


What is the relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and the planet's period of revolution?

The relationship between the planet's SPEED and its distance from the Sun is given by Kepler's Third Law.From there, it is fairly easy to derive a relationship between the period of revolution, and the distance.


Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?

A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.

How many astronomical units is planet x from the sun?

The distance of planet X from the sun can vary depending on its orbit. An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, about 93 million miles. If you know the specific distance of planet X from the sun, you can convert it to astronomical units by dividing by the average distance of 1 AU.

The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on what factors?

The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on its distance from the sun, its tilt or axial tilt, and its atmosphere. These factors determine how much solar radiation is absorbed and reflected by the planet, influencing its overall temperature and climate.


The imaginary line between a planet and the sun?

The imaginary line between a planet and the sun is called the planet's orbit. This orbit is the path that a planet follows as it revolves around the sun, due to gravitational forces. The shape and size of the orbit is determined by the planet's velocity and distance from the sun.


What planet's distance from the sun is about 72 percent of the distance from the sun to the earth?

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1 AU (149.597 m km / 93 m miles) whereas the distance between the Sun and Venus is at an average of 0.723 AU (108. 200 m km / 67.625 m miles). So it can be called 72% of the Sun-Earth distance.
