planetary orbiting are similar to the second figure in the picture attached , all i want to know what is the difference between the 2 figures .
The body orbiting the more massive body would have had an initial angular momentum. Because gravity between widely separated bodies is a central force.firavia said:why the rocket or anything that is orbiting would yaw while it is revolving ? the second figure in my added picture u saw that the orbiting obejct did not yaw ...
Planetary orbits refer to the path that a planet takes around the sun, while planetary rotations refer to the spinning motion of a planet on its axis.
No, the orbits and rotations of planets can vary greatly. For example, some planets have elliptical orbits while others have nearly circular orbits. Similarly, some planets rotate very slowly while others rotate very quickly.
Scientists use various techniques, such as mapping the position of a planet over time or studying the changes in its appearance, to compare planetary orbits and rotations in pictures.
Yes, planetary orbits and rotations can change over time due to various factors such as gravitational interactions with other objects, tidal forces, and internal changes within the planet.
Studying and comparing planetary orbits and rotations can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system, as well as other planetary systems. It can also help us understand the unique characteristics and behaviors of different planets.
