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 orbital speed of Sedna?
Its speed will vary greatly as its orbit is highly eccentric. It will be slower when further out from the sun on its 11,000 year orbit. Its average speed is around 1.04 km/s.
What would happen if you launched at a faster speed in to orbit?
Depending on the direction in which your speed was pointed, and at what stage of the launch it was faster, any of these could happen: -- you would get to orbit sooner -- you would settle into a smaller, more circular orbit -- you would settle into a larger, more eccentric orbit -- you would not orbit at all, but escape the Earth completely and never return
Is it possible to place a satellite in geosynchronous orbit at a much lower altitude?
No. To remain in orbit it needs to have a certain speed, and that speed will only match the surface speed of the earth on a certain height. To go lower it'd have to go slower, and then it'd fall.
What causes Saturn's rings orbit Saturn?
Orbits are caused by the force of gravity combined with the speed of the object in the orbit. Saturn's rings consist of millions of small rocks in orbit round Saturn.
What type of orbit is used by gps satellites subsynchronous or sunsynchronous?
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
What is the speed of electron in shell?
speed of electrons varies from shell to shell . it increases from inner orbit to outer orbit
What are some examples of real life hyperbola?
The orbit of objects that approach the Sun, or Earth, from far away, above a certain critical speed.At a certain critical speed, the orbit will be a parabola. Above the critical speed, the orbit will be a hyperbola. (In both cases, the object will go away, never to come back.) Below the critical speed, the orbit is an elipse or a circle.The orbit of objects that approach the Sun, or Earth, from far away, above a certain critical speed.At a certain critical speed, the orbit will be a parabola.

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).
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.
A satellite in an elliptical orbit loses speed when it?
A satellite in a closed orbit has the greatest speed when it's closest to the planet, and the lowest speed when it's farthest from the planet.
Is Uranus' speed not less than or not greater than Jupiter's speed?
The speed of the planet Uranus at every point in its orbit is lessthan the speed of the planet Jupiter at every point in its orbit.
What is earths speed in the orbit?
8600000000mph
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
Geosynchronous orbit.
A satellite in an elliptical orbit gains speed when it?
A satellite in an elliptical orbit gains speed as it draws closer to the central body and loses speed as it moves farther away from the central body.
What is the orbital speed of Sedna?
Its speed will vary greatly as its orbit is highly eccentric. It will be slower when further out from the sun on its 11,000 year orbit. Its average speed is around 1.04 km/s.
What is Jupiters orbit speed?
13.06km/s
