Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.
Why do some planets take longer to orbit the sun than others?
Planets further out from the sun have a larger orbit to travel around, which takes more time. This is because their orbital path is longer, meaning they move at a slower average speed compared to planets closer to the sun. This results in different orbital periods for different planets.
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because?
Most known extrasolar planets are more massive than Jupiter because they are easier to detect with current technology. More massive planets exert a stronger gravitational pull on their parent stars, causing a more noticeable wobble or dimming of light that can be detected. Smaller planets like Earth are harder to observe due to their smaller size and weaker gravitational influence.
Which planets take more than one year to orbit the sun?
All those planets which lie outside (relative to the sun) earth's orbit will take longer than earth (1 year) to orbit the sun. Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
How are planets farther from the sun different?
The "outer planets" (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are more massive and spin faster than the inner planets. Although their distance from the Sun means they retained cold outer atmospheres, they would be larger even without these dense gaseous envelopes. The outer planets do not have to move as rapidly in their orbits to counteract the Sun's gravity, as this decreases with the orbital distance. During planetary formation, the protostellar disc would have clumped at the appropriate distance for its velocity. Given this lower speed, and the greater distance traveled, the outer planets take much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth.
What does massive?
Massive is planets that orbit the sun and have more mass
What massive mean?
Massive is planets that orbit the sun and have more mass
More massive planets have more satellites why?
More massive planets have more gravitational pull. If a satellite were to pass by Earth and Jupiter at the same distance from each planet, the satellite would be more attracted to start orbiting Jupiter because of its pull. The more massive a planet is the more likely it is to get a satellite to orbit it.
Which force is responsible for the orbit of the earth?
The Earth stays in its orbit under the force of gravity from the Sun, which is much more massive than all the planets.
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
Do the star planets orbit around the sun?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).
Why are extrasolar planets more massive than earth?
Most of the known extrasolar planets are more massive than Earth because massive planets are easier to detect. We have detected planets smaller than Earth.
Why is Sun in the middle of every planet?
The sun is a thousand times more massive than all the planets combined. The planets all orbit the sun for this reason--due strictly because of its great mass.
Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Outer planets take longer to orbit the sun because their orbits are larger and therefore they have more distance to cover in their journey around the sun, as described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the sun decreases with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for outer planets compared to inner planets.
What makes the planets orbit the sun?
The sun is more than a thousand times as massive as all other matter in the solar system combined. It is the resulting solar gravity that keeps all the planets in their orbits.
What is the orital shape of the planets in our solar system?
The planets in our solar system have an elliptical (oval) orbit around the Sun. This orbital shape is a result of the gravitational forces between the planets and the Sun. Planets closer to the Sun have shorter and more circular orbits, while those farther away have longer and more elliptical orbits.
Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?
Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
