What happens to the orbital speed of an object as it approaches the sun?
As an object approaches the sun, its orbital speed increases due to the stronger gravitational pull from the sun. This increase in speed allows the object to maintain its orbit despite the stronger gravitational force it experiences closer to the sun.
Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets move faster in their orbits when they are closer to the sun. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which causes the planet to accelerate as it gets closer.
Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
Is your shadow bigger or smaller when your closer to the sun?
The closer you are to the light the smaller the source of light gets, but at the same time the closer you are to the light the stronger the light. the further you are to the light the weaker the light.
Which is closer to the Moon the Earth or the Sun?
The Earth is much closer. The Moon orbits the Earth, and both are the same distance from the Sun on average. The Moon is about a quarter of a million miles from Earth, and the Sun is more than 93 million miles (400 times farther away). They only appear the same general size because the Sun is incredibly huge compared to the Moon or the Earth.
What is closer to the sun mercury or comet?
On average Mercury is very much closer.
Why can't we live closer to the sun?
The closer an object is to the sun, the more heat it receives. If Earth were too close to the sun it would be too hot to support life.
How much closer is the moon to the sun?
The moon's average distance from the sun is exactly the same as the earth's average distance from the sun.
Which planet is closer to the sun than you are?
Both Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than we are (Earth).
Is Jupiter closer to the sun then earth?
no we are closer than jupiter is to the sun.
If an object in space is 2 aus from the sun then this object is?
In space, an object that is 2 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun is located at a distance roughly twice the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. This object would be within the inner solar system, closer to the sun than most of the major planets but farther away than Mercury.
What is closer to the sun Mercury or earth?
Mercury is closer to the earth than the sun is, because the orbit of Mercury is between the sun and the orbit of Earth. However, when Mercury is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth, the sun is closer to the earth than Mercury is.
What happens to the orbital speed of an object as it approaches the sun?
As an object approaches the sun, its orbital speed increases due to the stronger gravitational pull from the sun. This increase in speed allows the object to maintain its orbit despite the stronger gravitational force it experiences closer to the sun.
The plant that is closer to the sun?
Mercury. At only 0.39 AU (57,900,000km) from the sun, it is the closest planet in our solar system to the sun.
What is the distance of earthto the sun?
The earth is closer and further from the sun at different times but the average distance is 92,750,000 miles.
How much farther from the sun is earth than mars?
Earth is closer than Mars. Earth's average distance from the sun is 150 million km, while Mars' average distance is 227 million km.
How much closer to the sun is Venus than earth?
Venus is on average about 30 million miles closer to the sun than Earth. This proximity to the sun causes Venus to have a much hotter surface temperature compared to Earth.
