What are the planets that orbit the sun from order?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune


How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?

The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.


What is the exact position of the earth in the orbit of the moon?

In order to effectively answer your question, we must know in what perspective do you mean? Do you mean in our solar system in regards to the sun and other planets? The position of the moon is constantly changing, just as ours is as we sit here. We, Earth, orbit the sun (takes a year or so) and the moon orbits us (thus orbiting the sun as well.


Is it easier to examine Neptune with a telescope from Earth or with an orbiter?

The use of a telescope from orbit is going to be more clear. It is not very easy to do so, though. The orbit eliminates atmospheric interference. However, you have to get the telescope into orbit in order to use it. And connect to it from your remote location.


How does the eccentricity of earth compare to other planets?

Earth has an average eccentricity in its orbit of 0.0167. This compares with 0.0068 for Venus and 0.205 for Mercury, which are the minimum and maximum eccentricities in the eight planets. So, the Earth's orbit is not too far from circular. In order of increasing eccentricity, the list of planets is: Venus Neptune Earth Uranus Jupiter Saturn Mars Mercury.

How fast is the orbit moving around the earth?

The 'orbit' is the term we use to refer to the path that a body follows under the influence of its gravitational interaction with another body. The earth moves in its 'orbit' around the sun, always staying roughly 93 million miles distant from the sun. The earth makes one complete trip in its orbit around the sun in 1 year. In order to do that, the earth's speed in its orbit around the sun is almost 67,000 miles per hour ! At the same time, from the vantage point of an observer on the earth, the moon moves in its 'orbit' around the earth, always staying roughly 1/4 of a million miles from the earth. The moon makes one complete trip in its orbit around the earth in a little less than 1 month. In order to do that, the moon's speed in its orbit around the earth is about 2,300 miles per hour.


Do satellities orbit Earth in the exosphere?

No. If they did, air resistance would quickly slow them down and they would fall out of orbit. In order to be in a stable orbit, the satellites must be out of the atmosphere completely.


What are natural and artificial satellites?

Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.


Why moon tiny?

In order for the moon to have been captured by the earth, it has to be smaller than the earth. If it were bigger, it would have pulled the earth into its orbit, making the earth the moon.


Which will take more time to complete orbit around the sun mercury or earth?

Earth takes a lot longer to make one complete order around the sun than Mercury does. The time required for Mercury to make one orbit is equal to 88 Earth days (whereas one orbit for Earth is about 365 Earth days).


Where earth needs to be in its orbit at launch in order to make the trip to Saturn successful?

The earth needs to be at a point in its orbit from which the Hohmann transfer orbit between earth and the orbit of Saturnrequiring the least launch energy terminates at the point where Saturn will be when the vehicle gets there.You might want to read that again, slowly. That's as plain as I know how to say it.
