Yes. Planets (and other things) orbit at a higher speed the closer they are to the object they are orbiting.

a planetary satellite is any object that orbits a planet


Do the planets closest to the sun travel slowest in their orbits?

No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.

What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?

A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.


Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that planets that are closer to the sun in their orbits?

Actually, Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This means that the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to complete one orbit.


What is the law that discribes how a planet orbits the sun?

Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion.


Kepler discovered that planets move faster when they?

Kepler discovered that planets move faster when they are closer to the sun in their elliptical orbits. This relationship is described by Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it orbits the sun.


Is there a planet x?

There is no evidence that there is a planet X. It was a hypothesis to explain the discrepancies in some planetary orbits. Since dismissed.


What planet is closer to the moon?

Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.


Planetary orbits that are more elliptical have a greater?

variation in distance between the planet and the sun over the course of its orbit, compared to more circular orbits. This can lead to more extreme temperature fluctuations on the planet's surface and potentially affect its climate.


Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?

No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.


Why does a planet nearer of tha sun mves fuster?

A planet closer to the sun moves faster because the gravitational pull from the sun is stronger at that distance, causing the planet to accelerate. This is described by Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that a planet will sweep out equal areas in equal times as it orbits the sun.
