How does increasing the mass of the planet affect its revolution?
Short version: Yes, the orbital velocity is affected by the planet’s mass. In general, given two planets in the same exact orbit, the less massive planet will take longer to complete one period than the more massive planet.
Does the mass of a planet affect the orbital period?
Assuming we are talking about the mass of the satellite (and not the mass of the body being orbited), mass does not affect the orbital speed.
Does mass Affect period of rotation?
The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string. Two pendula with different masses but the same length will have the same period.
What two factors affect a planet’s revolution?
Planetary seasons are caused by two factors: axial tilt and variable distance from the sun (orbital eccentricity). Earth’s orbit is nearly circular and so has little effect on climate. It’s our planet’s axial tilt that causes almost all seasonal changes.
Does the weight of a planet affect its orbit?
A planet’s mass does not affect a planet’s orbit around the Sun.
What happen to the orbit period if the mass increased?
An increase in the mass of he orbited body causes a decrease in the orbital period.
Why does changing the mass of the planet not affect the orbit?
Does the mass of a planet affect its orbit? No, the mass of a body orbiting a second body is irrelevant in determining orbital parameters, as long as the first body is much larger than its satellite.
What are the effects of mass and length on time period?
Mass is found to have no effect on the period. The period is found to increase roughly as the square root of the length, in agreement with theory. The period increases slowly in a complex manner with amplitude.
How does changing the mass affect the period of a pendulum?
The mass of a pendulum’s bob does not affect the period. As mass increases, so does the force on the pendulum, but acceleration remains the same. (It is due to the effect of gravity.)
What are the factors affecting seasons?
Five Factors That Influence Seasons
- Earth’s Axis. Earth sits at a tilt of 22.5 degrees, also known as an axis.
- Sunlight. Sunlight influences the seasons, particularly the sun’s position and Earth’s surface that reflects the light.
- Elevation. Elevation also influences the seasons.
- Wind Patterns.
- Global Warming.
Does the size of the planet matter with orbits Why or why not?
The size of a planet doesn’t affect its orbital period. The orbital period is only dependent of the planet’s distance from the sun. Mercury is the smallest planet and it also has the shortest orbital period. Earth and Venus are about the same size but Venus has a shorter orbital period as it is closer to the sun.
How does the size and mass of a planet affect its rotation?
The actual answer is YES, the mass DOES affect orbital speed around the Sun. where m1 is the mass of the Sun and m2 is the mass of the planet. The mass of the largest planet, Jupiter, is only about 1/1000 that of the Sun, the mass of Earth is about 1/330,000 the mass of the Sun. To a close approximaiton
Why do planets weigh different amounts on different planets?
The strength of gravity depends on how far away one object is from another. That’s why the same object weighs different amounts on different planets. It’s sometimes easier to compare planets using a measurement that isn’t quite so complicated.
How does the mass of an object affect its weight?
An object’s weight is dependent on its mass and how strongly gravity pulls on it. The strength of gravity depends on how far away one object is from another. That’s why the same object weighs different amounts on different planets.
Why does the speed of a planet increase as the Sun increases?
If the force that the Sun exerts on the planet increases (as the planet moves closer), then the acceleration of the planet must increase, resulting in a higher orbital speed, and vice versa. See? You don’t need a single equation!
