The exact number depends on the individual planet, and the exact shape and eccentricity of its orbit.
The one general statement that can be made for every planet is that when it's farthest from the sun,
it's moving at the slowest speed relative to the sun of any point in its entire orbit.
What else can I help you with?
The point a planet is farthest away from the sun in its orbit is called what?
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
The speed of a planet in its elliptical orbit around the sun?
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
What is the point in which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun in its orbit called?
Aphelion is the point in a planet's orbit where it is farthest from the sun. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbital path.
What planet was farthest away from the Sun?
Within our Solar System, Pluto was until it was dubbed a dwarf planet. The current farthest planet is Neptune. Since Pluto has an orbit so eccentric that it is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune, the identity of the "outermost planet" was previously time-dependent.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the Sun be the slowest?
The speed of a planet revolving around the Sun is slowest at the aphelion, which is the point in its orbit farthest from the Sun.
The point a planet is farthest away from the sun in its orbit is called what?
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
Where the speed of a planet is fastest when it is revolving around the sun in its orbit 1 nearest to the sun 2 farthest to the sun 3its away but coming towards the sun 4 at any intermediate position?
The speed of a planet is fastest when it is closest to the sun in its orbit (option 1) and slowest when it is farthest from the sun (option 2). This is because of the gravitational pull of the sun, which accelerates the planet as it gets closer and decelerates it as it moves away.
Which planet takes longer to orbit the sun and why?
Neptune. Because it was the farthest planet from the sun. So its orbit's length is long.
When a planet is far from the sun what is its orbit?
When a planet is far from the sun, its orbit tends to be elongated or more elliptical, resulting in a larger distance between the planet and the sun at its farthest point (aphelion) and a closer distance at its nearest point (perihelion). This type of orbit is known as a "farthest point" or "distant" orbit.
The speed of a planet in its elliptical orbit around the sun?
The path that planets take around the sun is called it's orbit. The gravitation pull of the sun keeps each planet in it's orbit. Each planets orbit varies in the time it takes to make one trip around the sun.
You were the farthest planet from the sun now you are not?
The farthest planet from the sun used to be Pluto. Pluto is now considered to be a dwarf planet, not a planet. When Pluto was a planet, its orbit would sometimes take it closer to the sun than Neptune, making the Neptune the farthest planet from the sun for that period of time.
What is the path that a planet travels around the sun?
An orbit. the farthest known orbit in our solar system is the Oort belt, in the farthest reaches of our sun's gravitational field.
What is the point in which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun in its orbit called?
Aphelion is the point in a planet's orbit where it is farthest from the sun. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbital path.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
What planet was farthest from the sun for 20 years?
Neptune has been the farthest planet from the sun for 20 years due to Pluto [the dwarf planet] passing through it's orbit . Since the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet rather than a planet, in 2006, Neptune will remain the farthest planet, regardless of Pluto's position in it's orbit.
