What determines the path of a planet around the sun?
The orbit determines the path of a planet around the sun. The closer a planetâ??s orbit is to the Sun, the more rapid is the planetâ??s motion.
What determines how many moons a planet has?
The number of moons a planet has is a natural phenomena that cannot be explained. The moons are there because a significant amount of debris is caught in the planet's gravitational field.
What determines how much gravity on a planet has?
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
Which planetis so light that it could float in water?
A planet's weight does not determine whether it can float in water. It's density is what determines that. Your question should be "Which planet's density is so small that it could float in water?"
What effects does gravity have on planets orbit?
Gravity, together with the planet's total kinetic and potential energy, completely determines the size and shape of the orbit.
What Determines the day for a planet?
blue paper
What determines the length of an entire year on a planet?
The time it takes for any given planet to make one complete revolution around its sun determines the length of its year.
What determines a planet's seasons?
Distance from the sun during rotation.
What cycle determines a day on a planet?
one rotation of its sun
What determines the path of a planet around the sun?
The orbit determines the path of a planet around the sun. The closer a planetâ??s orbit is to the Sun, the more rapid is the planetâ??s motion.
What determines the length of day on a planet?
How long it spins on it's axis
What movement of the planet makes one day as a unit of time?
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
What determines how many moons a planet has?
The number of moons a planet has is a natural phenomena that cannot be explained. The moons are there because a significant amount of debris is caught in the planet's gravitational field.
What determines the pull of gravity at a planets surface?
It's mainly to do with the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravitational pull of the planet. The two are related.
What best determines if a planet orbiting a sun is likely to have life on it?
Water,carbon oxygen
What determines how much gravity on a planet has?
Its mass. More mass=more gravity Also the distance from the planet's center to its surface, i.e. its radius.
