What force holds a planet's atmosphere in place?
The force of gravity of the planet holds its atmosphere in place. This force pulls the gases in the atmosphere towards the planet's surface, preventing them from escaping into space. The stronger the gravity of the planet, the better it can hold onto its atmosphere.
What force makes planets travel in near circular orbit?
The gravitational force between a planet and the star it orbits (such as the Sun) causes the planet to travel in a near circular orbit. This force is balanced by the planet's velocity, which keeps it moving in a stable path around the star.
How many years would it take you to travel to the Planet Uranus?
it would take 15 years, if going at 20,000 mph.
How close can you get to planet Neptune?
neptune is the eighth planet from the sun . Comment: You can get as close as you like, but you would need a very good spacecraft and it would take years to get there.
How long would it take to get to the planet like earth?
5 thousand years
Does it take more force to pull a large item or more force to pull a small item?
The larger in weight would take more force Also, the larger if they are the same weight would take more force, because of friction and air resistance
How could one decrease the gravitational force between a planet and an object orbiting the planet?
Gravitational force depends only on the masses involved, and on the distance. Thus, to DECREASE the gravitational force, you would have to reduce the mass of the planet or the object (take some stuff away from it); or increase the distance.
What is life and death all a part of?
Life and death is a part of the natural cycle of the earth. If there was no life, this planet would be dead. If there was no death, this planet would be dead. Think about it. If there was no death, this planet would be over popularized, more and more recources would be needed/wanted and the planet can only make and take so much.
What would it take to move Jupiter's Europa Moon into Earth's orbit?
nothing. its impossible to get one planets moon to another planet. use your brain. its common sense. It would take enormous force to move this planetoid. If that force were delivered all at once the planetoid would disintegrate. If you were to use part of that force in rapid succession you may be able to move a planet. I.E. use of nuclear bombs on the side opposite the direction of intended movement could work if they were timed to hit at large enough intervals so as not to destroy the planet.
Which planet would a spaceship need the largest force to take off?
A spaceship would need the largest force to take off from a planet with high gravity, such as Jupiter. Jupiter has the strongest gravitational pull of all the planets in our solar system, making it more challenging for a spacecraft to break free from its gravity.
Which planet would take more time to make a complete orbit around the Sun?
The 1 that is furthest away
Would a net force of 100Newton cause more or less acceleration than a net force of 10Newton?
Take a look at Newton's Second Law. Other things being equal, more force will cause more acceleration.
How long would a planet take to revolve around the sun if it was an inner planet in between Mars and Jupiter?
If the planet was exactly in between Mars and Jupiter, it would take 3645.029 days.
What force holds a planet's atmosphere in place?
The force of gravity of the planet holds its atmosphere in place. This force pulls the gases in the atmosphere towards the planet's surface, preventing them from escaping into space. The stronger the gravity of the planet, the better it can hold onto its atmosphere.
What planet takes 400 years to get to that planet?
Not enough information: It isn't clear at what SPEED you want to travel to the planet. With current technology, the farthest known planet in the Solar System would take a few years to reach (at most 10-15 years or so); planets in other solar systems would take thousands of times more to reach.
What force makes planets travel in near circular orbit?
The gravitational force between a planet and the star it orbits (such as the Sun) causes the planet to travel in a near circular orbit. This force is balanced by the planet's velocity, which keeps it moving in a stable path around the star.
What planet would take the shortest time to travel around?
the first planet mercury
