What else can I help you with?
What is the curved orbit called when the earth moves around the sun?
It's called the orbit of the planet. The earth 'orbits' the sun. I don't know the specific name of the line. Maybe the gravitational pull?
Why does the Earth have an elliptical orbit around the sun?
I'll assume you mean: "... as opposed to a circular orbit". That is caused by the fact that for a circular orbit, a planet needs a VERY PRECISE SPEED. Change the speed slightly (at a particular point in the orbit), and the orbit immediately becomes elliptical.
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost what to its orbit?
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit.
If altitude increases the required orbital speed of a satellite should?
For any body in a closed orbit around another body, the farther apart the two bodies are, the slower the satellite moves in its orbit.. When the Space Shuttle is in "low earth orbit", it moves faster than the Moon is moving in its orbit. A satellite in an elongated orbit, that spends some of the time close to the earth and some of the time farther away, moves fastest at its lowest altitude, and slowest when it is furthest away.
What is an equatorial satellite?
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
What is the name of the path a revolving object moves along?
The path a revolving object moves along is called an orbit. The object revolves around a central point, such as a planet revolving around a star or a moon revolving around a planet.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean what?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
Which planet moves most slowly around its orbit?
Mercury moves most slowly around its orbit among all the planets in our solar system. It has the shortest orbital period (88 Earth days) and moves at a slower average speed compared to other planets like Venus, Earth, and Mars.
The planet that moves through the background of stars most slowly is?
The planet that moves through the background of stars most slowly is Mercury. This is because Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has a shorter orbit period than the other planets, resulting in a slower apparent motion against the background of stars as seen from Earth.
Each planet moves in a different orbit and at a different?
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.
When does Jupiter travel most slowly around the sun?
Jupiter is not the slowest, but it is a lot slower than Earth. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. The time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun increases with distance from the Sun. There are two reasons : 1) The size of its orbit gets bigger. 2) The planet moves more slowly. This follows from the mathematics of Newton's gravitation theory.
What is the movement of a planet along its orbit around the sun?
A planet moves along its orbit around the sun in an elliptical path due to gravitational force. The planet travels at varying speeds, with faster speeds near perihelion (closest point to the sun) and slower speeds near aphelion (farthest point from the sun).
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
What planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun?
All of them do.
A word that means a path traveled by a planet is?
Orbit. It refers to the curved path that a planet follows as it moves around the sun.
