If you wanted to put a device in an orbit that would revolve around the sun
in the same length of time the sun itself rotates at its equator, your device
would have to orbit the sun in 24.5 days.
The 'period' of an orbiting body depends only on its distance from the central
body. The closer to the sun a planet is, the shorter its 'year' is.
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, completes one orbital revolution every
88 Earth days.
In order to complete an orbital revolution every 24.5 days, your device would
need to be in an orbit that's only about 43% the size of Mercury's orbit.
It would travel in that orbit at the blazing speed of a little over 73 kilometers per second !
What else can I help you with?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
What is the reason that planets stay in orbit?
The gravitational pull from the sun. God put them there.
What causes a satellite to stay in orbit rather than falling towards earth?
Its forward motion. Please understand that something in orbit IS falling towards Earth.
What keeps the planets stay in their own orbit?
The planets stay in their own orbit due to the gravitational pull from the sun. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the planets in orbit. The balance between the forward motion of the planet and the inward gravitational pull from the sun maintains the planet's orbital path.
What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.
Why does a planet close to the sun to revolve very fast?
Because of the stronger gravitational force from the Sun, you need greater "centrifugal force" to stay in orbit and thus a greater velocity.
How fast does a space shuttle go in mph when it is in space?
At least 17,500 MPH which is the speed required to stay in orbit.
What causes bodies in the solar system to stay in orbit?
Stay in orbit
How do astronauts and satellites stay in orbit when gravity pulls it down?
Astronauts and satellites stay in orbit because they are moving fast enough horizontally that the force of gravity pulling them towards Earth is balanced by their forward momentum. This creates a state of continuous free fall around the planet, resulting in a stable orbit.
Why does planets stay in its orbit?
For a planet to stay in it's orbit the forces must be in balance.
What are some the rules of softball?
1 Stay in the baseline 2 when you play fast pitch you will need a fast pitch bat 3 when you are in the field stay out of the baseline
How do satellites stay up in space?
Satellites stay up in space due to how fast they are traveling. If an object is in motion around a planet at the correct speed it will orbit it without crashing towards the planet.
Who explained why planets stay in their orbit?
Sir Isac Newton was the scientist who discovered why the planets stay in orbit.
Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
How fast does a space shuttle have to go to stay in orbit?
A space shuttle in low Earth orbit travels at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) in order to balance the force of gravity pulling it back towards Earth with the centrifugal force of its forward motion, allowing it to stay in orbit.
Why do the moons stay in orbit of Jupiter?
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
How fast is a rottweiler?
Rottweiler's are very fast dogs. They have very strong legs and were bred to herd cattle. To stay with the cattle and heard them where they need to go, the have to be fast.
