What is the maximum speed of an orbiting satellite around earth?
70 miles per hour
How fast can the earth travel around the sun?
The Earth is orbiting the sun at an average speed of 30 kilometers per second.
What does the speed of a satellite depend on when orbiting earth?
The speed of a satellite orbiting Earth primarily depends on its altitude and the gravitational pull of the Earth. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, a satellite in a lower orbit must travel faster to counteract the stronger gravitational force compared to one in a higher orbit. The relationship can be expressed using the formula for orbital speed, which shows that speed decreases as altitude increases. Additionally, the mass of the Earth affects this gravitational force, but it remains constant for all satellites orbiting the planet.
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.
Why scientist must carefully set the right orbital speed of a satellite orbiting earth?
Scientists must carefully set the right orbital speed for a satellite that will be orbiting Earth, so that it will orbit correctly. The wrong speed will have the satellite move too fast, or too slow, skewing information and possibly causing the satellite to fall out of orbit and back to the planet's surface.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
What is Name of the largest satellite orbiting earth?
The largest satellite orbiting the Earth is the Moon.
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.
How may moons are orbiting the planet earth?
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
When the Moon revolves around the Earth at constant speed is the Moon accelerating?
-- "Acceleraion" means a change in speed or direction of motion. -- The path of an orbiting body is curved at every point, so its direction is constantly changing. -- So an orbiting body is being constantly accelerated, even if its speed isn't changing.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
