What else can I help you with?
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in it orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is closer to or farther from the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
What is the force that keeps the planets from moving closer or further from the sun?
centripetal force.
Terrestrail planets move more rapidly in their orbits than the jovian planets because terrestrail planets are?
Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun than gas giants, which means they have shorter orbital periods. This leads to terrestrial planets moving more rapidly in their orbits compared to gas giants. It is a result of the gravitational pull from the sun being stronger on planets closer to it, causing them to move faster.
Why do the sun and planet appear to be moving through fixed stars?
The Sun and orbiting planets are MUCH closer to the Earth than other stars.
How many planets are closer to the Sun than Jupiter?
The planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. So, four planets are closer than Jupiter.
What planets are closer to the sun than earth?
Mercury and Venus are the planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth.
What is the force that keeps the planets from moving closer to the sun?
No force is needed, which is lucky because there isn't any. A planet's speed in the direction of its orbit prevents it from falling in closer.
Why do planets closer to the sun have a shorter year?
Their orbit is a smaller circle than the ones further out, and as long as they are moving at relatively the same speed they will complete each orbit faster. Check out the planetary orbits link, it gives a really cool description and moving diagram
What orbit closer to the sun?
Planets Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth.
Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?
The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.
What are they called the four planets closer to the sun?
"The Inner Planets" is the common term for the four planets closest to our sun.
