Answer 1

What do you think

Answer 2

which one can it be and why

Answer 3

what is orbital velocity?

Answer 4

Planets that are close to the Sun have large orbital velocities because of Kepler's second law of planetary motion. This means that Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is the fastest moving planet in our solar system moving at about 48 km/sec!-google

Answer 5

so it decreases? as it moves further away the gravitational force isn't as strong

Answer 6

yep :)

Answer 7

awesome!
