What a great question !
The earth's orbit is elliptical, the ellipse has two foci (focuses), and the center
of the sun is at one of them. All true.
But the earth's orbit is so close to being circular that the distance between the
two foci isn't that great, and the other focus is inside the sun !
I'm not sure about Pluto, but I think that's true for all the other planets.
What else can I help you with?
What is earths orbits using Kepler's law?
Earth's orbit around the Sun follows Kepler's laws of planetary motion, specifically as an elliptical path with the Sun at one focus, as described in Kepler's First Law. According to Kepler's Second Law, Earth sweeps out equal areas in equal times, meaning it moves faster when closer to the Sun and slower when farther away. The Third Law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, allowing us to compare Earth's orbit with those of other planets. This framework accurately describes the dynamics of Earth's yearly journey around the Sun.
When spacecraft goes on moon how it revolves after leaving earths gravitational pull?
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
How far from the does mars orbit?
227,940,000km away
What is the farthes planet from the sun?
Currently, after Pluto was degraded to a dwarf planet. Neptune is the planet furthest away from the sun. about 30 AU away ( 1 Astronomical Unit equals Earths orbit around the sun). when it comes to dwarf planets however. there is a newly discovered one called Sedna. it has a very ecliptic orbit, but it is believed that at its furthest it will be over 900 AU away from the sun.
Why is Jupiter's year so much longer than earths year?
Jupiter's year is longer than Earth's year because it is further away from the sun and takes more time to complete one orbit. Jupiter's distance from the sun means it has a larger orbit to travel around, which results in a longer year.
How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
Why doesn't the moon fly away from the earth?
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between them, which keeps the moon in balance between moving away and falling towards Earth. This balance maintains the moon's orbit around Earth.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Does the shape of earths orbit affect the season?
The changes in the distance from the sun (due to elliptical orbit) make marginal differences in the amount of energy recieved by the earth,. > The major contributor to seasonal differences is essentially due to the tilt from perpindicular of the earths rotational axis and the fact that the axis will remain parallel throughout the earths yearly orbit around the sun, so in the northern hemisphere the winter equinox is when the top of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in diffused sunlight and less daylight hours.
What does aphelion mean?
It means the point where a planet, or other object, is farthest away from the Sun in its orbit.
How do you get season?
Since the earths orbit is not exactly even, when we are closer to the earth it causes warmer seasons and when we are further away it causes colder seasons.)
Where is earths moon located?
Earth's moon is located approximately 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) away from Earth in space. It orbits around Earth in a slightly elliptical path, which takes about 27.3 days to complete a full orbit.
Can the moon stop?
Well no because of the fact that the moon is stuck in the earths orbit and cant get out because it is to small to pull away from the earths orbit but really if you are talking about stop spinning then the answer is still no mostly because of the fact that because it is stuck in the earths orbit it has to stay in rotation just like the earth and also because one of our thoughts is the billions of years ago the earth (Young earth to be truthful) was hit by a small planet as big as the moon and the earth was still hardening so apart of it came of and the moon was made and the friction made by the hit made the moon and the earth start to rotate so does that answer your question? Well the moon move's away from the earth about 3 to 5 inches each year but no the moon will not stop:)
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
