What else can I help you with?
When a planet appears to stop in its orbit and move backwards this motion is called?
This motion is called retrograde motion. It occurs when a planet's motion in its orbit appears to reverse due to differences in orbital speeds and distances from Earth.
What is the orbit of a planet called?
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
What is the verb form of orbit?
The verb form of "orbit" is "to orbit." For example, "the satellite orbits around the Earth."
What two things keep the planets in orbit?
The gravitational force from the Sun keeps planets in orbit around it. Additionally, the forward motion of the planets balances the pull of gravity, preventing them from falling into the Sun.
What two motions combine to producean orbit?
An orbit is produced by the combination of two motions: the forward motion of an object in space (tangential velocity) and the gravitational pull from a larger body (such as a planet or star). The forward motion attempts to move the object in a straight line, while gravity pulls it inward, creating a curved path. This balance between the two forces results in a stable orbit, where the object continually falls towards the larger body but moves forward fast enough to avoid crashing into it.
What two movements come together to form an orbit?
An object's forward motion and the pull of gravity from a larger body, such as a planet or star, come together to form an orbit. The object's forward motion keeps it moving in a curved path, while gravity constantly pulls it towards the larger body, causing it to stay in a stable orbit.
What are the 2 factors that keep the planets in orbit?
The two factors that keep planets in orbit are gravity and the forward motion they gained during their formation. Gravity pulls the planet towards the sun, but the forward motion prevents the planet from falling into the sun, leading to a stable orbit.
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called?
Orbit
What is the orbit and motion of Pluto?
the sun
The two independent components of projectile motion that combine to form a curved path are?
The two independent components of projectile motion are the horizontal motion (constant velocity) and the vertical motion (free fall). These two components combine to form a curved path due to the influence of gravity acting on the object.
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called what?
Orbit
When a planet appears to stop in its orbit and move backwards this motion is called?
This motion is called retrograde motion. It occurs when a planet's motion in its orbit appears to reverse due to differences in orbital speeds and distances from Earth.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
What is the motion of a body around another in space?
The motion is an orbit. The two bodies take up elliptical orbits about their common centre of mass. When one body is far more massive, like the Sun, it hardly moves and the lighter object (a planet) does all the dashing about.
What is the orbit of a planet called?
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
What is the verb form of orbit?
The verb form of "orbit" is "to orbit." For example, "the satellite orbits around the Earth."
What is it called when two planets switch orbit?
planets dont "switch" orbit, but there are those that orbit each other, and those, like mars, that have retrograde motion, which makes it appear to orbit backwards
