What does orbit meansun and earth?
When something orbits something else, it means that it travels in a circular path around it. In the case of the sun and earth, the earth orbits the sun.
Do comets travel in orbits with a shape similar to the planets?
No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
What shape are most planets' orbits around the sun in specific the earth?
The shape of most planets' orbits around the sun, including Earth, is elliptical. This means that their orbits are not perfect circles but rather slightly elongated with the sun positioned at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Why would you have a birthday every 13 days on gliese 581c?
It orbits the star 581 once every 13 days. Earth orbits its star, the sun, every 365 days. Which means that Gliese orbits faster than Earth.
Are comets in circular or elliptical orbits?
Comets typically have elliptical orbits, which means their paths around the Sun are elongated and not perfectly circular. This is due to the gravitational influence of other celestial bodies, causing their orbits to be more elongated.
How many times does the moon circle the earth in a year?
The moon completes approximately 13 orbits around the Earth in a year. This means that it orbits the Earth about every 27.3 days.
Is it possible for two planets in solar system to collide?
No, the planets do not leave their orbits and their orbits do not cross
If satellite A is in a 2.1 resonance with satellite B that means that?
That means that for every 2 orbits that satellite A makes, Satellite B makes 1 orbit.
Is a moon larger than a planet?
No. The moon orbits the planet which means the planet is larger than the moon.
Why does the moon appear to change shape as it orbits the earth?
Because the light from the sun reflects of the moon so when the moon orbits the sun which means you can only see the part of the moon that has light reflecting off it
How long does it take for the space station to go around the Earth?
approx 16 orbits per day ,once every 90 minutes
What is the possessive form for orbits?
Orbits is the plural form for the noun orbit; the plural possessive form is orbits'.
