Which planet has the slower orbital speed Saturn or Jupiter?
Saturn is slower because it is farther from the sun. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the slower its orbital speed.
What is true about the orbital paths of planets in the solar system?
the larger the planet is the slower it revolves
What are the characteristics that cause a planet to have less gravity?
The force due to gravity of a planet is dependent on the mass of that planet (and to a lesser extent the radius/diameter). If a planet is less massive then it will have a lower gravitational force.
When does a planet move slowest in its orbit?
A planet moves slowest in its orbit when it is farthest away from the body it is orbiting, which is known as its aphelion. This is due to Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that a planet will move slower when it is farther from the body it orbits.
What planet moves around sun the slowest?
Neptune would move the slowest. The orbit speed is related to the distant the planets are to the sun. Farther the planet, slower the pace. Remember, Pluto is no longer a planet.
What would be affected if a planet orbits the sun faster or slower?
The length of the planet's year would be affected.
What planet is lumpy rocky and orbits the sun faster that Mars but slower than Jupiter?
There is no planet which fits that description.
A planet has a very long day compared with earth .What does that tell you about the movement of that planet?
It means the planet rotates slower. To be precise, the angular velocity is less.
What does Venus do more than any other planet?
Venus rotates on its axis slower than any other planet.
Which planet has the slower orbital speed Saturn or Jupiter?
Saturn is slower because it is farther from the sun. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the slower its orbital speed.
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
What does Venus does more slowly than any other planet?
Venus rotates on its axis slower than any other planet.
Would a planet that has a longer day spin faster or slower than earth?
yes it does
What is true about the orbital paths of planets in the solar system?
the larger the planet is the slower it revolves
How is a planet called a planet?
The word 'planet' is Greek for 'wander'. Ancient people watched 5 "stars" move through the sky - kind of like the moon did - only slower and smaller.
How is a planets distance from the sun affects its velocity?
The farther a planet is from the sun the slower its orbit speed.
Why are moons sometimes locked with the orbital period of their planets?
This is actually quite common. The reason is that a Moon around a planet will rotate slower and slower (due to tidal forces), until it always shows its planet the same side. At the same time, the planet - for example, our Earth - will rotate slower and slower, until it will show the Moon the same size. This assumes there is a single Moon, as in the case of Earth. However, since the planet has a larger mass, and thus a higher rotational momentum, it will take the planet longer to slow down. In the case of Earth/Moon, the Moon has already slowed down as far as it can; Earth will slow down, to always show the Moon the same side, some time in the future.
