Why do planets complete their orbits at different time?

Planets complete their orbits at different times because they are at different distances from the Sun and travel at different speeds. This is due to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, where planets closer to the Sun have shorter orbital periods, while those farther away take longer to complete their orbits.


Why are planets seen in different locations at different times?

Because the planets are closer to us so when we look at the planets we can see them move so the closer an object is to you the easier it is to follow its motion. Hope you could use my answer


Which two planets overlap?

The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.


The asteroid orbits between which 2 planets?

about 3 times a day i dont really know


What is the distance between the planets Uranus from Saturn in AU and Km?

No single answer- they are in separate orbits, and get closer and further apart at different times. The planets are not in a straight line as you move away from the Sun- they could be on opposite sides of the Sun from each other.


Closest planet to Ceres is?

The closest planetary orbit to Jupiter is that of Mars. The actual closest planet to Ceres depends on where the planets are in their orbits. At different times it may be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, or Jupiter.


Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?

Yes, the orbits of inner planets in our solar system are relatively closely spaced compared to the outer planets. This is due to the gravitational influence of the massive gas giants further out, which helps maintain the spacing of the inner planets.


On any given night provided that the sky is clear all of the planets which can be seen with the naked eye will not be visible at the same time. This is because they all have different?

orbital periods and positions relative to Earth and the Sun. As they travel along their respective orbits, their visibility changes throughout the night and from night to night, depending on their alignment. Additionally, some planets may rise and set at different times, making it impossible to see all of them simultaneously. Consequently, the naked-eye visibility of planets is influenced by their unique orbits and the Earth's rotation.


Are circles orbits of the planets?

NO!!! The planets do NOT orbit in circles. They orbit the Sun in an ellipsoidal manner. An ellipse has two foci. The Sun lies at one of the foci, the other might be deemed to be a 'blind' focus. The Sun does NOT lie at the centre of the ellipse. Also the satellites(moons) orbit their parent planets in a similar manner. It has also been discovered that the planets in an an ellipsoidal manner. That is as each orbit is completed the planet 'over-shoot' their starting point, and the ellipse does not close . See Johannes Kepler, who gave us the Law of orbiting planets sweeping equal arcs in equal times , in 1602 AD.


Which planet is closest to eath?

Which planet is closest to Earth varies depending on where the planets are in their orbits. At different times the closest planet may be Mercury, Venus, or Mars. The planet whose orbit comes closest to Earth's is Venus.


Why do planets take different times to orbit the sun?

Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion gives the mathematical formula for this. Isaac Newton proved the Law follows from his theory of gravitation. I will not go into the mathematics, but basically it's just how gravity works with planets.


Kepler discovered that planets move faster when they?

Kepler discovered that planets move faster when they are closer to the sun in their elliptical orbits. This relationship is described by Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it orbits the sun.
