Answer:
1. Focus
2. Aphelion
3. Ellipse
4. Semimajor axis
5. Perihelion
6. Eccentricity
Explanation:
In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.
The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).
Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.
Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.
The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.
Answer:
it ended due to international pressure.
Travel by bubble might seem more appropriate for witches in Oz, but two physicists suggest that a future spaceship could fold a space-time bubble around itself to travel faster than the speed of light.
We're talking about the very distant future, of course.
The idea involves manipulating dark energy — the mysterious force behind the universe's ongoing expansion — to propel a spaceship forward without breaking the laws of physics.er:
Answer:
D. were widespread due to many low-lying land masses.
Explanation:
Cambrian Period was the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, it occurred between two ice ages; Proterozoic and Ordovician. During these era, there were mass extinctions due to the decrease in global temperature.
Cambrian seas were widespread due to many low-lying land masses.
