The Solar System Flashcards
What is orbital speed
The speed an planet goes around the sun or the speed an object travels round something
What is the relationship of the orbital speed of a planet and it’s distance from the sun
The closer the planet is to the sun the faster the orbital speed is: e.g Mercury is 60 million km away from the sun and it’s orbital speed is 48km/s. (It is the closest planet to the sun)
Look in photos and see the graph for distance from the sun and orbital speed
Yaaaa
Look at the temperature graph from OneNote : look at the graphs
Which was the coldest planet : Pluto
Which was the hottest planet : Mercury
What is the relationship between the weight on different planets
The larger the planet is the larger the weight
What is the relationship between the temperature and the planets
The closer the planet is to the sun the higher the temperature
