Which two neighboring planets have the greatest distance between them?
The two neighboring planets with the greatest distance between them is Neptune and Uranus. This happens when they are at the opposite sides of the Sun at approximately. They are 4500 million miles away from each other.
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.
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.
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.
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
When is the distance between the Earth and the Sun the greatest?
The distance from Earth to the Sun during summer solstice is about 1.6 million miles further than the average distance of 93 million miles. This is because the orbit is an elliptical shape.
What asteroid passes nearest to the sun?
The asteroid that passed nearest to the sun was the asteroid that fell to the gulf of Mexico and killed all of the dinosaurs.
If an object in space is 2 aus from the sun then this object is?

The point at which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun is called?
Aphelion
What is the average distance of meteoroids from the sun?
A meteoroid is a rock that is out in space. Most of the meteoroids in the solar system are in the asteroid belt between the orbit of Mars and the orbit of Jupiter. The middle of the asteroid belt is about 400 million kilometers (250 million miles) from the sun.
