What causes differences in day length?
The elliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
Why is Uranus on its side and Saturn on an angle?
cause the way the to planets orbit causes the to planets to lean
What force causes comets to return to the inner planets?
Gravitational pull
What causes the planets in the solar system move along their path?
solar
Why are asteroids safe in circular orbits but insafe in elleptical ones?
Asteroids are safer in a circular orbit than an elliptical orbit because being in an elliptical orbit causes them to tumble in an erratic manner. Larger asteroids are sometimes referred to as planetoids.
How does newtons gravitational law helps to discover new planets?
When a planet moves around a star, it causes the star to wobble a bit from side to side as planets follow an elliptical orbit rather than a circular orbit. Astronomers can then use this fact to see whether stars have planets.
Which force affects the motion of planets?
The motion of the planets are governed by a number of factors: Gravity - The planets are being pulled towards the Sun in free fall. The velocity of the planets - This balances against the force of gravity opposing it and producing on balance the orbit. The mass of the planets. The effect of gravitational attraction between the planet and any satellites it has. The effect of gravitational attraction between the planets and other planets/dwarf planets etc.
How does gravity affect the relationship between the sun and the planets?
Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
What causes differences in day length?
The elliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
What causes the Uranus rotates unusual?
sun
What is unusual about the way that Uranus rotate what causes this?
It spins on its side a 90 degree angle. Scientists think space debris or another planet hit Uranus.
What unusual think happens which causes school to be cancelled?
Bad winter weather (deep snow and blizzards) can cause a school to close. Flooding is another reason.
What are the pros and cons of an elliptical on ones knees?
The elliptical machine is an excellent machine to purchase if you have knee problems. It is very easy on the joints which causes you to use it longer. There really isn't any negative aspects to getting an elliptical machine if you bad knees.
What causes dark bonds observed in a dolor spectrum?
Elliptical galaxies are divied into subclasses base on
Why is Uranus on its side and Saturn on an angle?
cause the way the to planets orbit causes the to planets to lean
What are two common causes of migraine headaches?
Migraine headaches have a variety of possible causes. Stress is one of the most common causes of migraines. Another common cause is sensory stimuli. Loud noises, flashing lights and unusual smells are usually the source of it.
What law describes the relationship between the average distance of a planet from the sun and the planets orbital period?
Centrifugal force and gravity keep the planets locked in orbit. The mass of the Sun naturally desires to pull other masses toward it. This causes the planets to move. The First Law of Motion states that objects in motion will continue unless acted on. Thus, we know that the planets would naturally have a tendency to continue in a straight line. However, the mass of the Sun (likewise with individual planets and their moons) causes the planets to have an altered, oval-shaped orbit.
