If a planet were 4 times further away from the Sun its orbital speed would be halved. That can be deduced from Kepler's third law using an approximation based on a circular orbit. The speed is proportional to R-1/2 where R is the average radius of the orbit.

How earths distance from the sun change throughout the year?

how does earths distance from the sun change throughout the year


Does the earths path around the sun ever deviate?

The Earth's path around the sun follows a slightly elliptical orbit rather than a perfect circle. This means that its distance from the sun can vary slightly throughout the year, but it always follows a predictable and consistent pattern.


How does the force of gravity between two bodies change when the distance between them is increased by 4?

The force of gravity between two bodies decreases when the distance between them is increased. This relationship follows an inverse square law, meaning that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. Therefore, if the distance is increased by a factor of 4, the force of gravity will decrease by a factor of 16.


Find the change in the force of gravity between two planets when the distance between them is increased by a factor of five?

When the distance between the centers of two planets decreases to 1/10th of the original distance,the gravitational force between them increases to 100 times the original force.


What affects seasonal change more Earth's tilted axis or the distance to the sun during Earths orbit?

seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession

Why does the perimeter change when you add tiles?

If you are adding tiles to any side of a figure, then you are increasing its total surfgace area and, of course, the distance around the figure ( perimeter) is also increased.


Why isnt the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause the seasons?

The change in distance is not very significant. Note that when it is Summer in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter in the south, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with the distance from the Sun, which is practically the same for North and South.


What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?

Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.


Does a screw increase in distance increase in force or change the direction of force?

Increasing the distance on a screw does not change the direction of the force, but it requires more force to turn the screw due to the increased mechanical advantage.


How does speed change?

Speed changes when an object either increases or decreases its velocity over time. This can be due to factors such as acceleration, deceleration, or changes in direction. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures the rate at which an object covers distance.


How does distance change when the amount of effort force is increased while the amount of work done remains the same?

Work is the product of (force) x (distance).If, as you allege, the force increased but the work didn't change, thenthe distance must have decreased, by exactly the same factor as theincrease in the force, so that their product is not changed.

Why is the earths seasons changed?

The seasons change NOT because the Earth rotates, but because of our revelution around the sun. It is summer when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. the seasons have nothing to do with the distance to the sun. the Eath is closest to the sun in winter.


What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of season?

There is a change in the amount of energy from the sun reaching the earth due to the elliptical nature of earths orbit around the sun, but the limits of this change are small compared to the effect of the tilt of the earths axis, and its tendency to remain parrallel throughout its orbit of the sun. For evidence, the fact that the northern and southern hemispheres have summer and winter at opposite times of the year from each other despite being exactly the same distance from the sun should be pretty convincing.
