Saturn orbits the Sun in an elliptical (oval) orbit, close to the solar ecliptic plane, with a minimum distance of about 1.35 billion kilometers and a maximum of 1.51 billion kilometers. It takes Saturn about 30 Earth years to make a complete orbit of the Sun. Saturn is the fifth major planet from the Sun and one of the four outer "gas giants". Saturn's atmosphere reflects most of the solar radiation that reaches it, which is considerably less than Earth receives.

What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?

If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.


What did Kepler discover about the distance of the planets from the sun and the length of their orbits?

Keplar showed that there is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year). This is described in Keplars third law; the square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.


What planets are there in orbit between the earth and the sun?

There are no planets in orbit between Earth and the Sun. The innermost planet in our solar system is Mercury, followed by Venus, then Earth. The region between Earth and the Sun is occupied solely by asteroids and other small objects.


Kepler's third law describes the relationship between the average distance of a planet from the sun and the planet's?

He referred to it as an eclipse where the planets orbit the sun in a path.


What is the relationship between the period of revolution and distance from the sun?

The period of revolution of a planet (time taken to complete one orbit around the sun) is directly proportional to its average distance from the sun. This relationship is described by Kepler's third law of planetary motion. Planets that are farther from the sun take longer to complete an orbit compared to planets that are closer to the sun.

How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?

The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
