How fast do comets travel?
A comet can go very fast because it is often heading toward the sun or looping around the sun. It is believed that 366 miles per second is the fastest a comet's movement has ever been measured.
Do commets revolve around planets?
No. Comets only orbit the Sun or fly through interstellar space. Comets move too fast to be captured by a planet. Even if they did, they do not have enough mass to sustain an orbit around a planet. It would eventually get sucked to the surface by the plant's gravity.
How is a orbit in space formed?
an object that moves fast enough can orbit another body in space. As a minimum, to orbit the Earth you need to travel 30,000 kph at 100 km altitude.
How fast do comets go?
100,000
Why must satellites in Leo travel very fast?
Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) must travel fast to continue orbiting the Earth without falling back down due to gravity. The high speed helps to balance the force of gravity to keep the satellite in orbit. Additionally, the fast speed allows the satellite to complete its orbit around the Earth in a relatively short amount of time.
How do you use 'orbit' in a short sentence?
As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.
At what part of the planet's orbit does it travel very fast?
The planet always moved very fast. But it's fastest velocity would be attained at it's nearest approach to the sun.
How long does it take our solar system to orbit the milky way how fast does it travel?
It takes approximately 230 million years for the solar system to orbit our galaxy at a speed of about 828,000kph (515,000 mph)
How fast does a comet travel?
Comets can travel at speeds ranging from 26,000 miles per hour (42,000 km/h) to over 150,000 miles per hour (241,000 km/h) as they journey through space. The speed at which a comet travels depends on its distance from the Sun and its orbital path.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
How long are the tails of comets?
It depends on how fast the comet is going.
How fast can a space shuttle travel?
A space shuttle can travel at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,160 kilometers per hour) in orbit around the Earth.
