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 the greatest distance from the Earth to the Sun?
The closest distance from the earth to the sun is about 147 kilometers. This figure changes all the time and at its farthest, the sun is about 152 kilometers away.
What is the relationship between an asteroid's orbital period and its distance from the sun, as described by Kepler's third law?
Kepler's third law states that the square of an asteroid's orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun. This means that as the distance from the sun increases, the orbital period of the asteroid also increases.
How hot is the asteroid belt?
The temperatures in the asteroid belt can vary greatly depending on the distance from the Sun. On average, temperatures can range from about -100 degrees Celsius in the outer regions to around 200 degrees Celsius in the inner regions. Overall, it is not as hot as some other regions of the solar system due to the distance from the Sun.
During which season in the northern hemisphere does the earth reach its greatest distance from the sun?
The Earth reaches its greatest distance from the Sun during the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. Though it may seem counterintuitive, the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit, with the Earth being farthest from the Sun during the summer months.
What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
What is the distance of the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is located 300-600x106km (or 2-4AU) away from the sun.
Is an asteroid in the sun's gravitational field?
Yes, any asteroid within the distance of pluto, and a few beyond it, are in the sun's gravitational pull. If they weren't, they would drift off into space.
What planet had the Greatest distance to travel around the sun?
Within our Solar System, Neptune, the furthest planet from the Sun has the greatest distance to travel.
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.
How far is Pallas from the sun?
Pallas is 2.772 AU (414.737 Gm) from the Sun. (Semi-major axis)
Is the asteroid belt between earth and mars?
Mars' average distance from the sun is greater than Earth's average distance, and less than the average distance of most of the members of the asteroid belt. So, the answer is YES.
If an asteroid is 4 AU from the sun and its period of evolution around the sun is 8 years does it obey Kepler's law?
Yes. A version of Kepler's 3rd Law is: The square of the period of revolution of a planet (or asteroid) around the Sun (in Earth years) is equal to the cube of its average distance (in AU from) the Sun. In this case that means 8 squared (64) should equal 4 cubed (64). It does. So, the asteroid is keeping to the Law. Thank goodness for that.
What is the point at which a planet is the greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
The Apex
When is the sun the greatest distance from the equator?
Summer and Winter Solstice
What is the distance between Juno and the Sun?
The average distance between Juno, which is an asteroid, and the Sun is about 414 million kilometers (257 million miles). This distance can vary due to the elliptical orbit of Juno around the Sun.
The asteroid belt lies about million miles from the sun?
The Asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at an average distance between 186 million miles and 300 million miles, (300 million and 600 million kilometers). The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 93 million miles sometimes referred to as an Astronomical Unit, (AU). The Asteroid Belt is between 2.7 and 4.0 au's from the sun along the ecliptic.
