Central accelerating force, in the case of an orbit this would be determined by the central mass.

semi-major Radius of the orbit.

eccentricity of the orbit.

The value of the Gravitational constant.

For a central mass reference these four are sufficient. If you consider a 'center of mass' reference however then the mass of the orbital is also required to determine the orbital characteristics.

How does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of its year?

the closer the smaller orbit (a year is one complete orbit) so the year is smaller


What factors would affect the length of the day?

The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.

What are the factors that affect resistance?

The factors are: length, cross-sectional area and nature of substance.


What factors affect the resistance and voltage?

Factors that affect resistance include material type, length, cross-sectional area, and temperature. Factors that affect voltage include the number of cells in a circuit, the presence of a power source, and the type of material conducting the current.


What 3 factors affect the height length and period of a wave?

The three main factors that affect the height, length, and period of a wave are wind speed, the duration of time the wind has blown in a certain direction (fetch), and the distance over which the wind has blown (fetch length). These factors influence the energy transfer from the wind to the water surface, determining the characteristics of the resulting waves.

What factors affect seasons?

Seasons are primarily determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. The angle of sunlight, the length of daylight, and the amount of solar energy received by a particular hemisphere at any given time affect the temperature and weather patterns we experience during different seasons. Other factors, such as ocean currents and atmospheric circulation, can also influence regional climates.


What factors can affect the focal length of a lens?

There are many factors affecting the focal length of a lens, these include: - The thickness of a lens. - The curviture of a lens. - The material the lens is made out of. E.g. Glass or plastic. - The light intensity going through the lens. - The shape of the lens. These, are just few of the many factors that may affect the focal length of a particular lens. I hope this has helped.


What are two factors that impact the length of a season?

Two factors that impact the length of a season are the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. The tilt of the Earth's axis results in variations in the amount of sunlight different regions receive throughout the year, while its orbit affects the distance between the Earth and the sun, influencing the intensity of the sunlight and temperature.
