Why do planets further from the sun take longer to orbit?
Planets further from the sun have larger orbits, which means they have to travel a greater distance in their orbit. Since they are farther away, the gravitational force from the sun is weaker, causing them to move slower in their orbit. This combination of a greater distance to travel and slower speed results in longer orbital periods for these planets.
How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?
Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.
Does a planet in orbit around the sun travel at a constant speed?
Velocity is a indication of speed and direction, so the fact they travel around it means that the direction is continually changing and, therefore velocity is continually changing. Kepler was the astronomer who discovered the laws of motion for the planets. Newton, a century later, derived the laws from his laws of gravity and motion. The first law of planetary motion states that planets orbit the sun in an elipse. So the speed is continually changing.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.
Do planets travel at the same speed as they orbit the sun?
No. The the planets closest to the sun orbit the fastest. Mercury, the first planet from the sun orbits at about 107,000 mph. Earth orbits at about 65,000 mph, and Neptune, the farthest planet, orbits at about 12,000 mph.
Do all the planets travel around the sun at the same speed yes or no?
no they do not
Why do the outer planets revolve so slowly around the sun?
The outer planets revolve about the same speed they just have to travel a much longer distance so it takes longer.
Why does a satellite travel at a greater speed when it is closest to earth?
The gravity is greater the nearer to Earth you go. The same is true for all planets.
What planet have speed of light?
i don`t think planets travel at the speed of light
What is the speed of planets?
The speed of planets will vary as they travel at different speeds. Mercury is the fastest planet while Pluto is the slowest. The speed of the planets is influenced by how close they are to the sun.
Do all the planets in the solar system revolve at the same speed?
No
Does comets travel at the same speed?
No.
Planets travel slowest at the?
Planets travel slowest at their aphelion – the point in their orbit farthest from the sun. This is when they are moving at their slowest speed due to the effect of gravity.
Does light always travel at the same speed in all mediums?
No, light does not always travel at the same speed in all mediums. Its speed can vary depending on the medium it is passing through.
Do electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed as a vacuum?
They travel faster
Do mars and earth travel at the same speed?
no
How can light and sound travel at a same time in televisions?
They don't really travel at the same speed, but, on television, the distance they travel is so short, that the difference between the speed of sound and the speed of light is almost non-existant.
