Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
Why doesn't the distance between the earth and sun affect the seasons?
The seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis, not its distance from the sun. This tilt results in different parts of the Earth receiving varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the four seasons. The distance between the Earth and the sun does impact the intensity of sunlight received (which can affect climate in more subtle ways), but it's not the main driver of the seasonal changes.
The illusion that slower moving superior planets appear to reverse their direction of travel when the earth catches up and passes them is called what?
This phenomenon is called retrograde motion. It occurs when Earth, which has a shorter orbit than the superior planets, overtakes and passes them in their respective orbits around the Sun, creating the illusion of the planets moving backwards in the sky.
Why does earth pull the moon instead of the other way around?
The moon does pull the earth. All bodies affect others according to their mass and distance
How fast will the rocket go if you were traveling to the moon?
The rocket would need to achieve an escape velocity of about 25,000 miles per hour to break free of Earth's gravity and travel to the moon. Once in space, it would travel at a slower speed depending on its trajectory and distance to the moon.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter

An earth satellite in a elliptical moves with what speed?
The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.
What would happen if earth moved slower in its orbit?
If Earth moved slower in its orbit around the Sun, its orbit would be elongated and the duration of a year would increase. This could lead to changes in climate patterns and potentially affect the length of seasons. However, the overall impact would depend on how much slower Earth's orbital speed becomes.
Does the distance of the earth in its orbit affect the seasons?
yes it does because it is winter when we are in the shadow
Why is the distance between moon and earth spreading?
Because the Moon orbits the Earth slower than the earth rotates itself, it creates friction that pulls the Moon away at about 1/4 an inch a year

Why are you older on mercury?
Because relative to Earth, on Mercury time itself passes slower because of the stronger gravitational field of the Sun experienced by Mercury (it is closer to the Sun than the Earth). Thus measured from the Earth you would appear older than you are biologically.
List three factors that control the apparent brightness of a star as seen from earth?
The apparent brightness of a star is determined by its luminosity (true brightness), distance from Earth, and any intervening dust or gas that may absorb or scatter its light. These factors affect how bright a star appears in the night sky to an observer on Earth.
How can the moon affect an earth like planet?
The tidal effect of a body increases as a cube of the distance.
How will atoms changing affect the make up of all other things on earth?
It depends on the rapidity of atom movement. The faster the hotter. the slower the colder.
