Is there a direct relationship between the eccentricity of its orbit and the distance a planet is from the sun?

Answer 1

There is no direct relationship between the eccentricity and the average distance from the Sun.

Of course, the distance from the Sun will vary as the planet orbits the Sun. The more eccentric the orbit, the bigger the relative change between closest approach and the point furthest from the Sun.

Answer 2

The further away from the sun the colder and longer a day and year is for that planet, on the contrary a planet closter to the sun has a shorter period of rotation affecting (shorter) hours in a day and a shorter year

Answer 3

There is no simple relationship. The four innermost planets are the smallest of the eight planets. Then comes the asteroid belt which contains the dwarf planet Ceres and countless small rocky objects. Next comes Jupiter, the largest planet. Moving further out, the planets become smaller although they remain considerably larger than the inner planets. Then comes the Kuiper belt which contains some more dwarf planets - including Pluto - and the Oort cloud both of which contain mostly small icy objects.

Answer 4

Yes, there is a relationship between the eccentricity of a planet's orbit and its distance from the sun. The eccentricity of an orbit affects how elongated or circular it is, with higher eccentricity leading to a more elongated orbit. However, the distance a planet is from the sun is determined by its semi-major axis, which is primarily influenced by the planet's initial conditions during its formation.

Answer 5

yes because it depends on how far away it is from the sun and how far the planet i from the sun

Answer 6

Yes. It is similar to the distance of a circumferance of a circle and its radius.

Answer 7

Well, from my research in my ESRT that you are supposed to use in earth science because I'm in it also, i don't think there is any relationship at all,well...no DIRECT relationship

Answer 8

No.
