Which planet has an orbital eccentricity most like the orbital eccentricity of the earth?
The Earths orbit is fairly un-eccentric when compared to the other planets, with only Neptune and Venus having more regular (less eccentric) orbits. The eccentricity of earths orbit is 0.0167, the closest to this is Neptune's, with a value of 0.00859
Why is Earths orbital velocity slowest on July 5?
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because that is when Earth is at aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun in its elliptical orbit. At this point, the gravitational pull from the Sun is weaker, causing Earth to move more slowly in its orbit.
Why is the Earths orbital velocity is the slowest on July 5 because?
The Earth's orbital velocity is slowest around July 5 due to its position in relation to the Sun during the aphelion, which occurs when the Earth is farthest from the Sun. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, a planet moves slower in its orbit when it is farther from the Sun. Consequently, this increased distance results in a decrease in orbital speed, making July 5 the date when the Earth travels at its slowest velocity.
How many suns fit between the earth and the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average, enough to fit 107 more suns between the suns surface and Earth.
What is the difference between Earths revolution and Earths rotation?
The term rotation refers to the Earth turning on its axis once per day. The term revolution refers to the earth circling the sun once per year.
A picture of earths orbital path?
elliptical.
What is earth inclination?
Earths orbital inclination is 1.57869°
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
Which planet has an orbital eccentricity most like the orbital eccentricity of the earth?

What means the tilt of the earths axis?
In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination.
Why do you think that astronomers are considered to be Earths Scientists?
Because they study many planets and their geography and atmosphere, in Earth Science you study the geology of Earth just like Astronomers study geology of other planets.
What is the distance from earth to the sun when it is nearest from the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 147,098,290km (91,402,641 miles) at its closest (Perihelion).
What is the pattern of Earths orbit?
Oval
Why are astronomers so interested in studyin the minor bodies of the solar system?
Its simply because there are so many mysteries left to solve (Eg:- Europa a moon of Jupiter may harbor life under the ice sheet & our own moon might hold secrets of the earths past as it had collided with the earth as proposed in the large collision theory.
Where is the sun is located at one of the two in the shape of earths orbital path?
The path of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. The Sun is positioned at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
How is it possible for an asteroid or comet to cut directly across earths orbital path but not hit earth?
When an asteroid or comet crosses Earth's orbital path but doesn't collide with it, it's often due to the object passing through a different point in space at a different time than Earth. Additionally, the vast majority of space around Earth is empty, so the chances of a direct collision are very low. Astronomers track these objects closely to assess any potential collision risk.
Why is Earths orbital velocity slowest on July 5?
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because that is when Earth is at aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun in its elliptical orbit. At this point, the gravitational pull from the Sun is weaker, causing Earth to move more slowly in its orbit.
