What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
What is earth orbiting the sun?
Earth orbiting the sun is a planet that is attracted to a star.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
What is the earths distance with the sun?
The sun is 93.3 Million miles from earth or 149.6 million km. But this is the average value, in truth the Earth is orbiting the sun in an elipse shape
What is the Third planet to the sun?
The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.
Is the Earth always the same distance from the Sun and if not why not?
No, the distance between the sun and the earth varies continuously because the earth's orbit is elliptical not circular. Also the position of the sun changes in response to the gravitational pull of the planets orbiting it (especially massive Jupiter).
How much greater is the angular momentum of the Earth orbiting about the sun than the moon orbiting about the Earth?
Assuming a circular orbit for simplicity, the magnitude of the angular momentum is rmv - that is, the radius of the orbit times the mass times the velocity. I'll leave the details of the calculations to you; basically you have to look up:Earth's, or the Moon's, orbital radius (the distance from Sun to Earth vs. the distance from Earth to the Moon);The mass of the orbiting object;Its velocity in orbit.Then you must divide one by the other, since I assume it's the ratio you are interested in.
What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
How far does the earth travel when orbiting the sun?
You can approximate Earth's orbit as a circle, and therefore use the formula for the circumference of a circle. The radius is the distance Sun-Earth (150 million kilometers).
What is the average distance of mercury away from the earth?
Both Mercury and Earth are orbiting the Sun. At some time they are on the same side of the sun and at others they are on opposite sides of the Sun. Thus the concept of an average distance between them is almost meaningless as it is constantly changing.The average distance of Mercury from the Sun is 57,909,100 km.The average distance of Earth from the Sun is 149,597,887 km.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
In which season is the earth and orbit from the sun?
The earth is always orbiting the sun.
