What else can I help you with?
Why must the inner planets travel faster than the outer planets?
They are closer to the star they circulate around or the other planets and so their centre of gravity is closer, therefore the force is stronger and thus causing their rotation to increase in speed.
Why do the 4 inner planets revolve around the sun at a faster speed?
The inner planets revolve around the sun at faster speeds because they are closer to the sun, which results in a stronger gravitational pull. This stronger gravitational pull causes the inner planets to move faster in order to maintain their orbits around the sun.
Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?
No, planets do not revolve around the sun at the same speed. Their orbital speeds depend on their distance from the sun - planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and faster speeds, while those further away have longer orbital periods and slower speeds.
Can planets fall?
Yes. In our solar system the planets orbit the sun. The process of orbiting is a process of falling towards the sun, but their sideways speed is such that they continually miss (and thus end up going round) the Sun.So, yes planets can and do fall but they do not fall intothe sun. Thus from our viewpoint they do not appear to be falling.
What happens to a plant's speed when it gets closer to the sun?
tempatures start to rise . and alot of diffrent things lol (:
Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets move faster in their orbits when they are closer to the sun. This is due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which causes the planet to accelerate as it gets closer.
When two artificial satellite revolve around the earth the one's closer and the one's further. which one revolve the earth with higher speed?
The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.
Where in our solar system are the planets which orbit fastest?
The closer planets are to the Sun the faster their orbit speed
Why does the speed of an object increase as it gets closer to the object its orbiting?
As an object gets closer to the object it's orbiting, the gravitational pull between the two objects increases. This causes the object in orbit to accelerate, increasing its speed to balance the gravitational force and maintain its orbit.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?
A planet's distance from the sun affects its orbit speed through Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it travels in its orbit. This is because the sun's gravitational pull is stronger closer to the sun, causing the planet to move faster to maintain its orbital balance.
What can you draw about the properties of a planet just by knowing how far from the sun it is?
Well, the speed of it's orbit in relation to the other planets orbiting the same sun. The closer an object is to the sun the faster it's orbit. Conversely, the farther an object is from the sun the slower it's orbit.
What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
What is the force that keeps the planets from moving closer to the sun?
No force is needed, which is lucky because there isn't any. A planet's speed in the direction of its orbit prevents it from falling in closer.
Why must the inner planets travel faster than the outer planets?
They are closer to the star they circulate around or the other planets and so their centre of gravity is closer, therefore the force is stronger and thus causing their rotation to increase in speed.
How do planets move if they are closer to the sun?
Planets closer to the sun move faster in their orbits due to the stronger gravitational pull from the sun. This increased speed helps to counteract the stronger pull of gravity, allowing them to maintain a stable orbit.
Why do the planets closer to the sun orbit the sun faster than planets farther away do?
You may recall that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of mass of the objects in question. Hence, objects closer to the sun are much more strongly attracted by the sun. They must balance that force by a stronger centrifugal force which requires a faster orbit. If they did not do so, they would just fall into the sun and be gone. Only the fast survive.
Is Uranus' speed less than or greater than Jupiter's speed?
Less. Uranus is further away from the Sun. In general, the planets closer to the Sun move faster.
