What does a planet do when in retrograde motion?
Nothing special. The idea of "retrograde motion" is a trick of perspective; nothing actually goes "retrograde". Here's how it works. We usually talk about Mars when referring to "retrograde" motion, but it happens (to a lesser extent) to all of the outer planets. All the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction (counterclockwise as seen from high above the Earth's north pole). Nothing ever turns and goes the other way. Closer-in planets orbit faster than further-out planets. When Mars goes retrograde, what is really happening is that the Earth is about to overtake Mars in our respective orbits, and move ahead of it. Mars is moving more slowly, and as the Earth passes Mars, Mars SEEMS TO move backwards. It's just as if you were jogging on an inner lane on the track and you pass somebody in an outer lane. The other jogger isn't moving backwards; it just seems that way because you are moving faster, and getting ahead of him.
What are the release dates for Outer and Inner Space - 1966?
Outer and Inner Space - 1966 was released on: USA: 8 February 1966
What movies depict inner and outer beauty?
Beauty and the Beast
What is the name of the Croosean homeworld?
Croose (located in the Inner Rim).
What is the name of the Polightian homeworld?
Protic (located in the Inner Rim).
How are outer planets similar to inner planets?
They are similar in that both the inner and outer planets all orbit the sun.
What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.
Comparing inner and outer planets movement?
The inner planets travel faster around the Sun because they are closer, while the outer planets take more time. The outer planets spin faster on their axis than the inner planets.
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.
What distinguish the inner and outer planets?
This is a very basic answer, but maybe it's what you're looking for. The inner planets are rocky, have no rings, and are smaller. The outer planets are large, gaseous, and have rings.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner outer planets?
The main difference between the orbits of inner and outer planets is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and are closer to the Sun, while outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have longer orbits and are farther away from the Sun. Additionally, outer planets are larger and predominantly composed of gas and ice, while inner planets are smaller and have rocky surfaces.
How do inner planets differ?
Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.
What is the difference of The rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
Rotational time of the planets is random (the length of the planet's day), but the outer planets do spin faster than the inner planets.
What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?
Both inner and outer planets orbit around the sun and have roughly spherical shapes. Additionally, they are part of the same solar system and are composed of similar elements, such as rock and metal for inner planets, and gas and ice for outer planets.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
How are the inner and outer planets alike?
The inner and outer planets are alike in that they are all part of our solar system and orbit around the Sun. They also have varying sizes and compositions, with the inner planets being smaller and rocky while the outer planets are larger and gaseous. Additionally, they all have moons, but the outer planets tend to have more and larger moons compared to the inner planets.
