What else can I help you with?
Earth is closer to the sun in December than in June In which of these two months is earth moving faster around the sun?
Earth moves faster in its orbit around the sun when it is closer to the sun, which happens in December. This is due to the conservation of angular momentum in the solar system, where the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it moves in its orbit.
What force allows satellites to orbit the earth?
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in orbit.
Why does the moon get closer to the earth every 11 years?
The moon is not getting closer but further
Does the moon keep the same distance from the earth?
No, the moon's distance from Earth varies due to its elliptical orbit. The orbit shape causes the moon to be closer at some points (perigee) and farther at others (apogee). This phenomenon results in the "supermoon" and "micromoon" events.
What causes the moon to orbit the sun?
Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.
Is the earth moving closer to the sun every hundred years?
No. Earth's orbit is stable.
What causes seasonal changes on earth's?
earth's elliptical orbit around the sun causes the changes. (science fact: as earth gets closer to the sun, it goes faster.) look up on Google images of "earth's orbit and seasons"
What causes earth changing seasons?
earth's elliptical orbit around the sun causes the changes. (science fact: as earth gets closer to the sun, it goes faster.) look up on Google images of "earth's orbit and seasons"
When planets are closer to the sun how are they moving?
They are moving in an elliptical orbit

Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
Is the orbit of Mars closer to Earth than the orbit of Venus?
No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?
LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.
Is earth orbit smaller than mars orbit?
Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.
What orbit closer to the sun?
Planets Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth.
Why is an Earth year shorter than an Martian year?
Because the orbit of Earth is closer to the Sun than the orbit of Mars.
