If a planet had an average distance of 10 au what would it's orbital period be?
It would depend on the star it was orbiting. If it were in our solar system, its orbital period would be little more than 30 years. (Saturn is approximately 9.5 AU from the Sun.)
If a planet with twice the mass of earth orbiting a star with the same mass as the sun and an orbital distance of 1AU what is the orbital period?
Since all other things are equal, it will take a year to go around the star. The mass of the planet hardly has any effect on its orbit - unless this mass is significant, compared to the star.
Orbital velocity of the international space station?
The ISS is orbiting at around 27,743.8 km/h ((17,239.2 mph)
What can be said about a planet orbiting an identical star with an orbital period of 500 days?
The planet must be farther from the star than Earth is from the Sun. According to Kepler's third law, a longer orbital period means that the planet must be farther from its star. In fact you could work out its average distance from the star, using Kepler's law.
Why does venus take 225 days to revolve around the sun and earth takes 365 days?
Because Venus has less distance to travel than the Earth and is travelling faster. With an orbital speed of 35.02 km/s and an orbital period of 224.70069 days gives an orbital distance of 679,883,169.35km The Earth has an orbital speed of 29.78 km/s (Slower than Venus) and an orbital period of 365.256 days gives an orbital distance of 939,800,765.95km
What is the approximate orbital altitude of a Polar Orbiting satellite?
870 km is its altitude according to NASA (answred bt divyansh tiwari)
What is the definition of orbital radius?
it is the distance between what an object is orbiting around and the object itself in any given point
I used Newton's version of Kepler's third law to calculate Saturn's mass from orbital characteristics of its moon Titan?
Yes, the equation p2 = a3, where p is a planet's orbital period in years and a is the planet's average distance from the Sun in AU. This equation allows us to calculate the mass of a distance object if we can observe another object orbiting it and measure the orbiting object's orbital period and distance.
What is the value of orbital velocity?
the approximate value of orbital velocity is about 8km/hr.
What is satellite orbital spacing?
orbital spacing is the satellite spacing between the satellites orbiting in same frequency band
Where is Mars located usually?
In space, orbiting the sun. Its orbital position is fourth, between the Earth and Jupiter or, more specifically, between the Earth and the asteroid belt.
If a planet had an average distance of 10 au what would it's orbital period be?
It would depend on the star it was orbiting. If it were in our solar system, its orbital period would be little more than 30 years. (Saturn is approximately 9.5 AU from the Sun.)
What is orbital energy of an orbiting object?
Orbital energy is the sum of the object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy as it moves through its orbit.
What part of speech is the word orbital?
The word orbiting is a verb. It is the present participle of orbit.
What do you mean by the orbital energy of an orbiting object?
Orbital energy is the sum of the object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy as it moves through its orbit
Which inner planet has the largest orbital velocity?
Mercury is the fastest orbiting planet in the inner Solar System, with an average orbital velocity of 47.87 km/s.
How big will a planet be if it is located far from the sun?
The size of a planet is not related to it's distance from the sun. Planet mass and orbital velocity are factors that determine it's distance from the sun.
