Orbit
The orbit of a planet is called a "celestial orbit" or simply an "orbit" around its parent star.
Satellites stay up in space due to how fast they are traveling. If an object is in motion around a planet at the correct speed it will orbit it without crashing towards the planet.
A planet's backward motion in the sky is called retrograde motion. This occurs when a planet appears to move in the opposite direction in the night sky compared to its usual eastward movement.
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
ROTATION.
This motion is called retrograde motion. It occurs when a planet's motion in its orbit appears to reverse due to differences in orbital speeds and distances from Earth.
Yes, the path a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called an orbit or revolution. It is the curved path followed by a celestial body as it moves in space due to the gravitational pull of another object.
Retrograde motion.
The motion of a planet on its axis is called rotation. This rotation causes day and night cycles on the planet as different parts are facing towards or away from the sun.
True. Rotation refers to the spinning motion of a planet around its own axis, while orbital motion refers to the planet's movement around its star. Both types of motion are important to understand when studying celestial bodies in astronomy.
