When does Jupiter travel most slowly around the sun?

Jupiter is not the slowest, but it is a lot slower than Earth. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. The time taken for a planet to orbit the Sun increases with distance from the Sun. There are two reasons : 1) The size of its orbit gets bigger. 2) The planet moves more slowly. This follows from the mathematics of Newton's gravitation theory.


As Isaac Newton explained a planet moves through an elliptical orbit because of its gravitation attraction to the sun and because of?

Its tendency to remain in straight-line motion


Which inner planet has the most mass?

Mercury is the inner planet with the most mass.


What is the most gassiest planet?

Saturn is known to be the most gaseous planet in our solar system. It is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium gases.


What is the centripetal force on a planet orbiting the sun?

The centripetal force on a planet orbiting the Sun is the gravitational force exerted by the Sun that pulls the planet towards it, keeping the planet in its circular or elliptical orbit. This force is responsible for maintaining the planet's curved path as it moves through space. The gravitational attraction between the Sun and the planet provides the necessary centripetal force to counteract the planet's inertia, which would otherwise cause it to move in a straight line. The strength of this force depends on the masses of the Sun and the planet, as well as the distance between them, following Newton's law of universal gravitation.
