What else can I help you with?
Point of a planets or comets orbit which is most distant from the sun?
A planet or comet's orbit that is farthest from the sun is called the aphelion. This is the point where they are at their greatest distance from the sun in their elliptical orbit.
What point in a planets oribits is closest to the sun?
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
What kind of orbit does comets have?
Comets typically have elliptical orbits, meaning they follow a path that is elongated and can bring them close to the sun at one point in their orbit and then far away at another point. This results in significant changes in their speed and distance from the sun during their journey.
What is the shape of the orbit a comet has?
The orbits of periodic comets and the orbits of planets have the same geometric shape.Every closed gravitational orbit is an ellipse. But the eccentricity of the cometary ellipsesare almost all greater than the eccentricities of the planetary ones.
What is an apareon?
An apareon is the point in an orbit around Mars which is most distant from the planet.
Comets are considered to belong to the solar system if they?
They have to orbit the sun or orbit a planet. This means they are if they are in the Galaxy.
Do planets revolve faster around the sun in a certain location of the elliptical orbit?
Yes. The planets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point to the sun in the orbit, and slowest at aphelion, the farthest point.
What is an apoherm?
An apoherm is the point most distant from Mercury of an object in orbit around Mercury.
What is an apocynthion?
An apocynthion is the point in an object's orbit around a moon which is most distant from the body.
What is a point of a planet's or comet's orbit or another body at which it comes closest to the sun?
This is the Perihelion. The aphelion is when it is at it's most distant point.
Where during their orbit of the sun do comets travel fastest?
I would say at their nearest point, as this is where space-time is the most warped.
When a planet is far from the sun what is its orbit?
When a planet is far from the sun, its orbit tends to be elongated or more elliptical, resulting in a larger distance between the planet and the sun at its farthest point (aphelion) and a closer distance at its nearest point (perihelion). This type of orbit is known as a "farthest point" or "distant" orbit.
