The Earth revolves around the sun due to gravity. According to Kepler's laws, the gravity of the sun is greater when the Earth is closer and that causes the Earth to move faster. Earth's revolutionary speed decreases when it gets further away from the Sun is because it takes an effort to move away from the Sun against the gravity of the Sun. This effect is also seen when a ball rolled up a hill side slows down the higher it gets, and speeds up when it rolls down again.

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.


Why do the 4 inner planets revolve around the sun at a faster speed?

The inner planets revolve around the sun at faster speeds because they are closer to the sun, which results in a stronger gravitational pull. This stronger gravitational pull causes the inner planets to move faster in order to maintain their orbits around the sun.


Why does the Moon revolve around Earth and not directly around the Sun?

The Moon and Earth are closer in mass than they are to the Sun.


Earth is closer to the sun in December than in June In which of these two months is earth moving faster around the sun?

Earth moves faster in its orbit around the sun when it is closer to the sun, which happens in December. This is due to the conservation of angular momentum in the solar system, where the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it moves in its orbit.


How many times does the sun's revolve?

Is Sun gravitational power work on Moon also like Earth if yes then y moon does not revolve around Sun?

Because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, so its gravitational force is stronger at a closer distance.

What would happen to the season if the earth did not revolve around the sun?

If the earth did not revolve around the sun, there would not be any seasons. The problem is that if the earth did not revolve around the sun, that is, if it came to a stop in its orbit, the sun's gravity (with just the tiniest help from the earth's) would pull the earth into the sun.
