LEO satellites orbit the Earth with an altitude as low as miles?
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth as low as 100 miles and up to 1,240 miles close to the Earth's poles.
What is the approximate compression of the earths orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
What is the name of a body in orbit around the sun?
Our Earth is a body that is in orbit round the Sun.
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
How many years for earth to orbit the sun?
One orbit of the Earth around the Sun is 1 year. We say one year meaning that one full orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
The path earth travels around the sun is called?
The path Earth travels around the sun is called an orbit. This orbit is elliptical in shape, meaning it is not a perfect circle but is slightly elongated. Earth takes 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun.
Does the moon have a circular or elliptical orbit around the earth?
The moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle but rather an oval shape. This results in the moon's distance from the Earth changing throughout its orbit.
The shape of the earth's orbit is a?
The shape of the Earth's orbit is elliptical, meaning it is slightly oval-shaped. This elliptical orbit causes the distance between the Earth and the Sun to vary slightly throughout the year, which is why we experience seasons.
How does the earth spin around the sun?
the earth spinds around the sun because gravity makes it orbit
The movement of the moon around the earth is called a orbit and follows a path called an?
The movement of the moon around the Earth is called an orbit, and the path it follows is called an elliptical orbit. The moon's orbit is not a perfect circle but rather an elliptical shape, meaning its distance from the Earth can vary as it moves along its path.
Is the orbit of moon around the earth is elliptical or round?
As seen by an observer on the Earth, the Moon's apparent orbit is distinctly elliptical. The orbit is subject to many perturbations and variations because of the Earth's elliptical motion around the Sun, and the fluid tidal envelope sloshing around the Earth. The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit varies between 0.026 and 0.077 .
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Why is the moon called a natural satellite of the earth?
Because it is a satellite - it stays in orbit around Earth. And it is natural - meaning not made by humans.
Is the Moon's orbit oval?
Yes, the Moon's orbit around Earth is slightly elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle. This results in the Moon being closer to Earth at certain points in its orbit (perigee) and farther away at other points (apogee).
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
How many KM is the earth's orbit?
Lets do some math: The distance of the Earth from the sun is 149.6*106 km, meaning the approximate radius of the orbit. Assuming the orbit of the Earth is circular, the circumference is 2*Pi*R, so: 2*Pi*149.6*106=939.96*106 km Earth travels 18KM per sec so its 567648000
