What planet have hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit?
Jupiter has hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit. These Trojans are located in two groups ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean what?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
What word do we use to describe the movement of a moon about a planet?
The movement of a moon around a planet is described as its "orbit." This term refers to the gravitationally bound path that the moon follows as it revolves around the planet. Orbits can vary in shape and size, depending on the gravitational forces involved.
What planet does the orbit go around?
none the orbit is around the sun
What is the revolution of a planet called?
Around its axis is a day. Around its orbit is a year.
The movement of a planet around the sun?
The name of the path a planet occupies in its movement around the Sun is called an orbit. The shape of the path is an ellipse, with the Sun at the focus. Due to the inverse-square rule of gravity, the speed of movement is greater in orbits closer to the sun, slower for more distant orbits.
What is a year in terms of planet movement?
The time it takes to orbit around the sun once.
What is a planets orbit?
An orbit is the elliptical path that a planet follows as it "falls" around its sun.
What is the name of the path a revolving object moves along?
The path a revolving object moves along is called an orbit. The object revolves around a central point, such as a planet revolving around a star or a moon revolving around a planet.
What planet have hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit?
Jupiter has hundreds of Trojan asteroids circling along its orbit. These Trojans are located in two groups ahead of and behind Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun.
What is the name given to the path along which a planet travels?
The path along which a planet travels is called its orbit. Orbits are typically elliptical in shape, following the gravitational pull of the star around which they revolve.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean what?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
When you say a satellite is orbiting a planet you mean?
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
When did man discover the sun moves along its celestial orbit?
The sun does not move along a celestial orbit. Planets move along a celestial orbit around the sun. The planet, the sun, the milkyway galaxy and the rest of the galaxies are circling the universe. Q: When did man discover this?
What is an object in orbit around the planets?
A planet in an orbit greater than any of the others.An object in orbit around a single planet is a moon or satellite of that planet.
What the meaning of the ORBIT?
an orbit is the circular movement of a planet going round the sun, or a moon going round a planet. Gravitaional force is what creates the orbit.
How do the moons stay in orbit around the sun?
The moons are around planets, planets are around the sun. But basically the orbit is a mix of forward momentum and the the pull towards the sun, this creats an angular movement. when the planet moves forward, this angular movement is now forward momentum and gravity is still pulling it towards the sun creating a angular movement and when added together this is roughly a circle that goes all around the sun.
