All of the planets in our solar system revolve around our Sun.

Orbiting Our Sun. All of the planets in our solar system revolve around our Sun. Today you will investigate the speeds at which they move around. Orbital distance = 2 x 3.14 x 148,800,000 km = 934,464,000 km. Orbital distance per day = km = 2,560,000 km.

  1. Orbiting Our Sun • All of the planets in our solar system revolve around our Sun. • Today you will investigate the speeds at which they move around.

  2. Orbital distance = 2 x 3.14 x 148,800,000 km = 934,464,000 km Orbital distance per day = km = 2,560,000 km Orbital speed per hour = km/h = 107,000 km/h

  3. This is 1 km/s The Moon Orbital period = 28 days Distance from Earth = 384,000 km Orbital distance = 2 x 3.14 x 384,000 = 2,411,520 km Orbital distance per day = km = 86,136 km Orbital speed per hour = km/h = 3589 km/h

  4. radius x 2 x 3.14 circumference or orbiting distance around the Sun  number of days or orbital period distance planet travels per day (Earth day!)  24 speed of planet in km/h (Earth hour!) Which is Fastest?

  5. Answers (Distances in Km)
