Why does a satellite travel at a greater speed when it is closest to earth?

The gravity is greater the nearer to Earth you go. The same is true for all planets.


How does the Earth probably compare in orbital speed to the other planets?

The Earth moves faster than the planets that are farther from the Sun.


Is the speed at which the earth rotates constant?

No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.


Why do you think the winds speeds on the gas giants planets are so much greater thean the speed on earth?

The are two reasons:They rotate faster than Earth, producing a stronger Coriolis force.They have no ground to create friction.


Which of the following planets revolves around the sun with the greatest speed?

earth


Which two planets have the same rotation?

Earth and Mars are the planets in this solar system with similar rotation speed of approximately 24 hr.


What planets orbital speed is about 30 kilometers per second?

earth orbital speed is 30 kilometers per second!!


What is the speed of a spacecraft?

To orbit the Earth, a speed of 7.9 kilometers/second is required. To escape Earth's gravity, an initial speed of 11.2 kilometers/second is required. To travel to distant planets, the initial speed must be still higher.


Is Uranus' speed less than or greater than Jupiter's speed?

Less. Uranus is further away from the Sun. In general, the planets closer to the Sun move faster.


How do mars and earth hours compare?

Because those two planets rotate on their axis at about the same speed.


Does Jupiter rotate on an axis?

All planets do. The difference is that for gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), the speed of the "surface spin" is often quite different from the rotation of the atmosphere, which will vary by latitude.


When two artificial satellite revolve around the earth the one's closer and the one's further. which one revolve the earth with higher speed?

The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.
