Thank you, i think i got it, it helped to understand what synodic period was first instead of just plugging in numbers, once i figured out that the speed would be roughly the same it would take longer for it to return to the same angular position. Am i right here?

Homework Statement If we were to put a spacecraft into orbit around the Sun at a distance of 0.900 au and then gradually increase the orbital distance closer and closer to 1 au, what would happen to the synodic period of the spacecraft ? Why does this happen?Homework Equations 1/S = 1/P -...
