Most scientists at a young age are told to reach for the stars-but how do you reach for a star that moves at 10 million miles per hour? Kevin Hurley, a research physicist at the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory may have found such a star, located nearly 20,000 light-years away.
What else can I help you with?
Where is a planet when it is moving most rapidly in its orbit?
Any object in an elliptical orbit - this would include every planet and natural satellite - is moving fastest when it is closest to the "primary object" around which it orbits; the Sun in the case of the planets, and each planet in the case of a moon. The Earth reaches perihelion, its closest point of approach to the Sun, on January 4 each year, so that's the day at which the Earth is moving fastest in its orbit.
Which is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system?
jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system.
In a two planet system what happen to the period when velocity is maximize?
In a two-planet system, when one planet is closest to its star and moving fastest (maximized velocity), the other planet is farthest away and moving slowest. This can affect the period of the two planets in their orbits, potentially leading to variations in their orbital time intervals.
The fastest moving planet in the solar system is?
Mercury is the fastest moving planet in our solar system. It travels at an average speed of about 47.87 kilometers per second as it orbits around the Sun.
What is the nearest planet to the sun in your solar sistem?
The nearest planet to the sun in our solar system is Mercury. It is the smallest and fastest-moving planet, with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it as close as 46 million kilometers (29 million miles) to the sun.
The fastest moving planet in a solar systerm is?
The fastest moving planet in out solar system is Mercury, which is named after the roman god of speed.
Is the planet Mercury the fastest moving planet in the solar system?
Yes! The closer planets are to the sun the faster they go. Since Murcury is closest, it is the fastest.
Is mercury the fastest moving planet around the sun but the slowest rotating around its axis?
Mercury is the fastest moving planet around the sun. It is second slowest to rotate about its axis, Venus being the slowest.
When will a planet travel fastest in its orbit?
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
Does a planet moving in an elliptical orbit about the sun move fastest when it is farthest from the sun or when it is nearest to the sun?
nearest to the sun
Why scientists have name this planet as Mercury?
Scientist did not name Mercury, Roman/ Greek Gods did. They named it Mercury because it was the fastest moving planet out of all Planets.
What is the fastest creature on the planet?
The fastest creature on the planet is the cheetah.

What planet orbits fastest?
The fastest planet is Mercury which is closest to the Sun.
What planet is fastest-rotating planet?
Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet int he solar system.
What is The fastest moving front is?
a cold front is the fastest moving front
