Question

Based on Kepler's observations about planetary motion, what is the relationship between a planet's orbital velocity and its distance from the sun?

Answer is the greater the distance, the slower the orbital velocity..

I do not understand it. Can someone please explain it to me? Thank you!

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The closer the planet is to the sun,the faster it moves because the suns gravitational pull is stronger.The answer tells you that the greater the distance,the slower the planet will rotate

Answer 2

Kepler laws of planetary motion can be stated as planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits, the radi joins the planets to sun leaves out equal areas to equal intervals in the equal lengths of time.

• The planets that are farther away from the sun have slow velocity and longer paths such as pluto. These factors make it longer for one complete revolution.

• Thus greater will be the distance the slower will be the velocity of movement such as that of mercury and pluto. As sun gravitational pull will be weaker.
