How long does it take to complete 1 orbit?

One complete orbit takes 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km (584 million mi).

How much is the magnitude of the gravitational field does a satellite 42000 km away from Earth’s center?

(a) What is the potential energy of the satellite-Earth system? (b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Earth on the satellite? 14.38 A 1 000-kg satellite orbits earth at an altitude of 100 km. It is desired to increase the altitude of the orbit to 200 km.

At what point in a planets orbit will it have the highest speed?

A planet moves with constantly changing speed as it moves about its orbit. The fastest a planet moves is at perihelion (closest) and the slowest is at aphelion (farthest).

What is an orbit Class 9?

Orbit is a well-defined circular path around the nucleus in which electrons revolve around the nucleus. It represents the motion of an electron in one plane. It represents motion of an electron in three-dimensional space. All the orbits are either circular or elliptical.

How do you calculate the gravitational field of a planet?

The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength. On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths.

Which planet has a shorter distance in its orbit?

Neptune is about 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth, and is the outermost of the 8 major planets. When the Earth is on the same side of the sun as Neptune, the distance to Neptune is shorter than the distance when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun from Neptune.

How long are planets orbits?

The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. A year is the time it takes the earth to make one revolution – a little over 365 days….The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives.

Planet	Rotation Period	Revolution Period
Earth	0.99 days	365.26 days
Mars	1.03 days	1.88 years
Jupiter	0.41 days	11.86 years
