What else can I help you with?
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 planet closet to the sun?
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
Which outer planet moves around the sun the fastest?
The outer planets are usually defined as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The innermost of those, Jupiter, moves around the sun the fastest. The speed of planet is a function the size of its orbit only -- mass doesn't matter, as figured out by Kepler about 500 years ago. Thus Mercury, the innermost of all planets, has the greatest orbital speed (87.96 Earth days for an orbit), and Neptune the slowest (164.81 Earth years). If you want to include Pluto, then it has the greatest orbital period (247.7 earth years)
Which planet orbits the sun faster?
If you mean faster than the Earth, then the planets Mercury and Venus orbit faster. This is because they are closer to the sun.
What are slowest to fastest planet to orbit the sun?
Curiously, the nearer the planet is to the Sun the faster it orbits. Thus Mercury orbits the fastest, whereas Neptune is the slowest.
When will a planet travel fastest in its orbit?
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
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.
What planet orbits fastest?
The fastest planet is Mercury which is closest to the Sun.
The fastest planet that orbits around the sun?
mercury is the fastest
Which planet is the fastest in your solar system?
Mercury moves the fastest 48 km/s
How does the distance from the sun of a planet affect the planet’s orbitalvelocity?
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
What is the fastest planet that can go around the sun?
mercury
What is the fastest thing on the sun?
dwarf planet pluto
Why is Mercury is the farthest planet to revolve around the sun?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Because of this, it revolves around the sun the fastest.
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 describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun?
As the planet approaches perihelion (point of nearest approach to the Sun), its orbital velocity gets faster, and it is fastest at perihelion. Similarly, at aphelion (point of furthest approach to the Sun), the orbital velocity is slowest.
What is planet closet to the sun?
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
