13 нояб. 2021 г. · When it's close to the Sun, it goes faster than the gas, so collisions with the gas slow it down. That pulls in the outermost part of the orbit.

31 окт. 2022 г. · Because the gravity from all the other planets and moons are tugging on each other, and the strength of those tugs vary as they move around and ...

18 нояб. 2021 г. · Planets pull on each other and are hit by meteorites at times, and the result is that orbits will be slightly elliptical.

24 мар. 2024 г. · The reason this happens is that distance often matters even moreso than size when it comes to gravity: being really close to something makes the ...

10 сент. 2024 г. · The answer to that: two objects in space will always exhibit gravitational attraction towards each other.

19 авг. 2023 г. · So, the reason that planetary orbits are elliptical and not circular is because elliptical orbits are stable, meaning that an elliptical ...

20 сент. 2022 г. · Orbits are elliptical because the force of gravity decreases as the square of the distance between objects. Newton proved this. Edit: to clarify ...

29 окт. 2024 г. · Elliptical orbits are a result of the interaction of gravity on an object with a given energy and momentum.

15 окт. 2024 г. · The initial velocity. That's it. There's a perfect initial velocity that gives a circular orbit, then there are those near it that give ...

5 февр. 2023 г. · Planetary orbits are elliptical because of the nature of gravity. Sir Isaac Newton discovered that the force of gravity between two objects ...
