Is a year on mars longer or shorter on earth?
Mars orbits farther from the sun,tthan Earth does, meand its orbital circumference is longer. Additionally, the farther out an orbiting object is, the slower it travels. So, to complete one orbit, Mars has to travel farther than Earth does and at a slower speed.
What happen when an asteroid collided with Earth 65 million years ago?
Dinosaurs died
What is an orbit that is within the outermost part of Earth's atmosphere?
It is called a low earth orbit
How many days does the moon orbit the earth?
It takes the moon 29 days or about 1 month to orbit the earth.
What does earth's orbit pass through?
The earth's orbit passes through the perihelion of its orbit. As a result, the earth ends up closest to the sun in its orbit. This occurs in the winter, usually between January 1st through 4th.
When did Earth Orbit Stations happen?
Earth Orbit Stations happened in 1987.
What is it called when the moon is moved around the earth?
Orbit
Why do meteors hit planet earth?
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
Is mars faster are slower than earth when you orbit around the sun?
Mars takes longer to make one orbit of the sun. Its slower, and it also has further to go. Planets orbiting speeds get slower the further you go out.
Does earth move faster or slower when in an elliptical orbit?
Slower or faster than what? - When the Earth is nearer the Sun (periapsis), it moves faster than when it is farther away from the Sun (apapsis).
What would happen if the moon slowly moved away from earth?
The moon does slowly move away from earth at an estimated two inches every year, it is a possibility that (if you believe in the apocalypse) the cause for the fall of Earth is the moon losing its orbit with earth and drifting away.
Seasons happen because of earth's orbit and the?
distance to the sun.
What would happen to earth if the sun were to be as large as the orbit of Venus?
earth will fry up.
Why do planets move slower at a greater distance?
if you think you go in to orbit by the same way that if you throw a ball hard enough it'll fall as it gets past the horizon (this cannot happen of course) an that's how you get into orbit and if you're further away the gravity of the sun will be less sooo it will orbit slower. :)
What would happen if the earth's orbit suddenly became smaller?
The earth's water would evaporate.
How many time satellite orbits the earth each day?
If the satellite is anywhere near Earth's surface, it will take about one and a half hours to orbit Earth once. As the orbit gets higher, it will take longer - both because it must travel a longer distance, and because it will be slower.
Did the earth move out of orbit after the Japan earthquake?
The earthquake in Japan has moved the earth 25 centimeters(cm) and shortened the day by 1.8microseconds.
