LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
What is the approximate compression of the earths orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
What is the name of a body in orbit around the sun?
Our Earth is a body that is in orbit round the Sun.
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
How many years for earth to orbit the sun?
One orbit of the Earth around the Sun is 1 year. We say one year meaning that one full orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
What is the literal meaning of apogee?
the point of the moon's orbit when it is farthest away from earth
Explain the meaning of the orbit of the earth?
It means how the earth orbits every day. From morning to night. The rotation of the earth towards the sun.
How does the earth spin around the sun?
the earth spinds around the sun because gravity makes it orbit
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Why is the moon called a natural satellite of the earth?
Because it is a satellite - it stays in orbit around Earth. And it is natural - meaning not made by humans.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is the meaning of revolution having to do with the sun-earth-moon?
I believe that if a planet makes one revolution, such as the Earth or Moon, it has completed its orbit once.
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
The path earth travels around the sun is called?
it is called and orbit, its elliptical (its like a streached out circle)
