When does a planet move fast or slow?
A planet in an elliptical (oval) orbit will move faster as it gets to its closest point to its sun, and slow down as it reaches its furthest point. A planet with a truly circular orbit will have a constant speed.
What causes the moon to speed up or slow down slightly in its orbit?
the moon speeds up and slows down because of atmospheric drag and tidal dynamics
What will happen when a satellite falls down?
When satellites fall out of orbit, they usual burn up upon entering the earth's atmosphere.
Why does the space shuttle flip when in flight?
The shuttle is traveling at a tremendous speed. In order to come out of orbit, the shuttle must slow down. When flipped backwards, the shuttle fires it's engines to slow down and enter the atmosphere. The shuttle begins to be slowed down by the atmosphere as it flips to a forward position for a proper landing.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
Why does the moon stay in orbit with the earth?
Because there is nothing to slow it down and if there is nothing to slow it down, it can not be deorbited.
True or False An artificial satellite in a high orbit will slow down and lose altitude due to the pull of Earth's gravity?
False. Why would it slow down? There is no friction in a high orbit; a satellite can orbit indefinitely. Only in low orbits will satellites slow down and fall from orbit, and the cause is the friction of the extremely tenuous final traces of Earth's atmosphere.
What causes the moon to speed up or slow down in orbit?
time of the season
What will happen if gas is cooled?
it'll slow down.
Do planet's constantly orbit?
Yes, all the planets are constantly in orbit and use up no energy because in space there is nothing to slow them down.
Do satellities orbit Earth in the exosphere?
No. If they did, air resistance would quickly slow them down and they would fall out of orbit. In order to be in a stable orbit, the satellites must be out of the atmosphere completely.

What will happen if earth rotated more slowly?
Time will slow down.
What will happen to the earth year if revolution slow down?
u die ....
What will happen to the particles of a gas if they slow down?
The will move more slowly,
What will happen to the particles of gas if they slow down?
The will move more slowly,
What happen s to particles as they slow down?
They get colder, and start to lose heat.
