What else can I help you with?
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit the earth very slowly should it be into a low or high orbit?
High orbit, Gravity weakens as you move away from its source, and although less centripetal force is needed to maintain larger circlular paths at a given speed gravity weakens at a greater rate.
What is the name of the sun being very far away?
The point in Earth's orbit where it's the furthest away from the Sun is called "aphelion".Because the Earth's orbit has low eccentricity, it's not that much further away than when it's nearest the Sun (perihelion); the difference between the two is only about 3%.
What is the significance of the eccentricity vector in determining the orbital characteristics of celestial bodies?
The eccentricity vector is important in determining the shape of an orbit around a celestial body. It measures how elongated or circular the orbit is. A high eccentricity means the orbit is more elongated, while a low eccentricity indicates a more circular orbit. This information helps scientists understand the stability and behavior of celestial bodies in their orbits.
What is the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit around the Sun?
Oh, what a delightful question! Neptune is known for its interesting orbit around the Sun, with an eccentricity of about 0.0097. This means that Neptune's orbit is slightly elongated, giving it a bit of a different path compared to other planets in our solar system. How wonderful it is to learn about the unique characteristics of each planet!
How high above the earth does an orbit have to be?
Orbit can't be maintained in atmosphere. Some temporary low orbits are possible at lower heights. About the lowest possible orbit around the earth is 80 km high, but it will decay rapidly because it is still in the earth's atmosphere (the thermosphere). Even where the atmosphere is extremely thin (only a few molecules of gas in a cubic meter), the friction will eventually slow the orbit of a satellite or vehicle, and it will fall to earth.
What is the significance of eccentricity in determining the orbital characteristics of planets?
The eccentricity of a planet's orbit is important in determining its orbital characteristics because it affects the shape and size of the orbit. A high eccentricity means the orbit is more elongated, while a low eccentricity means the orbit is more circular. This can impact factors such as the planet's distance from the sun, its speed, and its overall stability in its orbit.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
How does the eccentricity of the earths orbit compare to the eccentricity of the other planets?
The Earth's orbit has a relatively low eccentricity compared to some other planets in our solar system. For example, Mercury and Mars have more eccentric orbits than Earth. Venus and Jupiter have orbits that are almost circular, with very low eccentricities.
What is the cause of high and low pressure areas?
the orbit of the moon around planet earth
What is the low pressure and high pressure area?
the orbit of the moon around planet earth
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit the earth very slowly should it be into a low or high orbit?
High orbit, Gravity weakens as you move away from its source, and although less centripetal force is needed to maintain larger circlular paths at a given speed gravity weakens at a greater rate.
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 name of the sun very far away?
The point in Earth's orbit where it's the furthest away from the Sun is called "aphelion".Because the Earth's orbit has low eccentricity, it's not that much further away than when it's nearest the Sun (perihelion); the difference between the two is only about 3%.
What is high pressure area and low pressure area?
the orbit of the moon around planet earth
What do you know about the shape of Earths orbital path around the Sun?
Earth's orbital path around the Sun is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This means that Earth's distance from the Sun varies slightly throughout the year. The shape of the orbit is very close to a circle, with the eccentricity being only 0.0167.
If a space vehicle is designed to orbit around the earth very slowly should it be put into a low or high orbit?
A space vehicle designed to orbit the Earth slowly should be put into a low orbit. Low Earth orbit allows for slower orbital speeds compared to higher orbits, making it more suitable for vehicles designed to move slowly. Additionally, low orbit provides easier access for communication, resupply, and potential crew rescue missions.
