I. Celestial observations
All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles the earth
This dome is referred to as the
celestial sphere
![Page 3: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
a. General Terms
1. The horizon:
the imaginary line where the earth appears to meet the celestial sphere
![Page 4: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. The zenith:
the point on the celestial sphere directly above an observer…
90º above the horizon
![Page 5: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. Altitude: a vertical angle…the angular distance above the horizon
4. Declination: celestial lines of latitudeThe celestial equator is the reference point+ declination = north- declination = south
![Page 6: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
5. Azimuth: a horizontal angle:the angular distance measured clockwise from due north.
6. Right Ascension: celestial lines of longitude
![Page 7: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Right ascension is labeled in units of time…
it is given in hours (h), minutes (m) and seconds (s)
and ranges from 0h 0m 0s to
24h 0m 0s
![Page 8: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
7. Constellations: groups of stars that appear to form a pattern in the sky
a. Some stars and constellations are circumpolar…they seem to move in circles around Polaris…when photographed, they create circular star trails
![Page 9: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Circumpolar motion occurs because Polaris is directly above our axis of rotation.
The farther north an observer is located, the greater the number of circumpolar stars
![Page 10: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Circumpolar motion
![Page 11: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

b. Stars/constellations change their position in the sky nightly due to the rotation of the earth and…
c. seasonally because of the revolution of the earth
We’ll talk more about these motions in the next unit…so stay tuned!

iii. Summer Triangle: We only see it in the
summer during “prime time” viewing
![Page 20: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 23: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
B. Origin of the universeThe Big Bang theory:There is scientific evidence
that supports that
approximately 14 billion years ago, the universe was a dense concentration of matter that
![Page 24: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
expanded explosively…
At this time:
all matter and space was created and moved outward in all directions at the speed of light (300 million m/sec),
masses of gas cooled and condensed and…
![Page 25: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
stellar systems formed. Evidence of the Big Bang
includes:
1. The uniform age of all of the galaxies
![Page 26: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Weak electromagnetic radiation from the explosion (cosmic background radiation) has been detected
![Page 27: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
C. The fate of the universe
In 1929, Edwin Hubble examined the spectra of distant galaxies
He compared the spectral lines of far away galaxies to those of nearby stars
![Page 28: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hubble knew that when a light source is moving away from an observer it’s wavelength becomes longer…This results in a shift of its spectrum towards the red endconversely, when a light source moves towards an observer, there is a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum
![Page 29: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
He found that the nearby stars had spectral lines similar to those expected.
But he found that the distant galaxies showed spectral lines shifted to the red end of the spectrum
![Page 30: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The shift towards the red end of the spectrum indicated that distant galaxies are moving away from the earth…
If the shift had been towards the blue end of the spectrum, the galaxies would be moving towards the earth
![Page 31: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hubble’s law
Galaxies are retreating from us at a speed proportional to their distance from us
![Page 32: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The expanding universe theory
proposes that the universe is expanding so that objects (galaxies) move away from one another
The galaxies aren’t expanding…just the spaces between them
![Page 34: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
D. Classification of stars
Stars are classified based on spectral analysis of their light
This information is organized on a chart called aHertzsprung-Russell diagram
See ESRT page 15
![Page 35: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The H-R diagram is based upon the relationship between the luminosity (brightness) of a star and its temperature
In general…hot stars tend to be blue/white and bright…cool stars tend to be red/yellow and not as bright
![Page 37: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
When a star varies from this generalization, an inference can be made regarding where it is in its life cycle
![Page 40: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
E. The Life of A Star
Stars begin as clouds of gas or dust that gets pulled together by a developing force of gravity. As the force of gravity builds, and the star becomes hotter, fusion begins to take place.
![Page 41: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Fusion creates an outward force that is in opposition to the inward pull of gravity.
These forces, and how balanced they are, determine the life of a star.
![Page 42: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Smaller stars last longer than massive stars…
Bigger stars are hotter and undergo fusion much faster … therefore, the balance between the forces is upset sooner.
![Page 43: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Once fuel begins to diminish,
the equilibrium
Is disrupted
![Page 45: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
F. Distances to Stars
The sun is the closest star to earth
It is 150,000,000 km awayThis distance is equal to
1 Astronomical Unit (AU)
![Page 46: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The next nearest star is
Alpha Centauri
It is ~ 40 trillion km away
This would be ~ 266,666 AU
![Page 47: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
To make stellar distances more manageable, we convert distances to light years
This is the distance light travels in one year!!!
![Page 48: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Light travels 9.5x1012 km/yearWhich is 9,500,000,000,000
(9.5 trillion) km/year Alpha Centauri is 4.35 ly from
Earth
![Page 49: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
It takes the light from the sun
8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth
![Page 50: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Another unit of distance is a parsec
Parsec stands for
1 second of parallax
Parallax is the apparent shift in the position of one star in relationship to another star
This is equal to 3.26 ly
![Page 51: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
G. Stellar Brightness
1. Luminosity is the actual (true) brightness of a star
This is dependent upon
size:
the larger the star, the more luminous it tends to be
![Page 52: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
and temperature:
The hotter the star, the more luminous it tends to be
![Page 53: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
2. Apparent magnitude is how bright a star appears to an observer on Earth
This is influenced by the distance between a star and the observer
![Page 54: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
As distance increases,
the apparent brightness decreases
This is reported as a numerical value:
Brighter stars have lower apparent magnitudes.
![Page 55: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Apparent magnitude can be reported in negative numbers
A star with an apparent magnitude of 6 is the faintest that can be seen with an unaided eye
![Page 56: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
3. Absolute magnitude is the brightness a star would have if it was located 32.6 ly from Earth
This eliminates the effect that distance has on the apparent magnitude of a star
![Page 57: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
This is a comparative brightness and can be used to determine the relative distances between stars and the earth.
![Page 58: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
H. Galaxies and the Universe
A galaxy is a system that contains billions of stars
There are at least a billion billion galaxies in our universe
![Page 59: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The sun is located in the Milky Way galaxy
and is only one star among 100 billion stars!

a. Models of the universe
1. Geocentric model:Earth-centeredProposes that the earth is stationary at the center of the universe
![Page 76: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
and all of the celestial objects (sun, moon, planets, stars) revolve around it.
![Page 77: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
2. Heliocentric modelSun-centeredIn 1543, Copernicus published a paper proposing that the sun was stationary and everything revolved around it.Galileo supported this theory through telescopic observations
![Page 78: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
3. Evidence of heliocentrism
a. Circumpolar motion of stars:provides evidence of the earth’s rotation.If the earth did not rotate, star trails would not be created
![Page 79: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

d. Retrograde motion:
The apparent backwards motion of a planet against the backdrop of stars.
This is due to the variations in rates of revolution
![Page 89: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
III. Orbital geometry
A. Kepler’s laws of planetary motion describe the motions of the planets in their orbits around the sun.
![Page 90: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
1. First law
The planets move in orbit around the sun in a path that is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci
![Page 91: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
An ellipse is a closed curve that ranges in shape from a perfect circle to a straight line.
Eccentricity is a measure of the “out-of-roundness” of an ellipseIt ranges in value from 0 (perfect circle) to 1 (straight line)
![Page 92: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
As the distance between the foci increases, eccentricity increases and the ellipse becomes more oval
![Page 93: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Length of the major axis
Distance between the foci
![Page 94: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Now you try!
f f
3.7 cm
9.2 cm
Calculate eccentricity:
![Page 95: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
E = dbf
lmaE = 3.7 cm
9.2 cmE = 0.40
![Page 96: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
![Page 97: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
2. Second law
An imaginary line joining the planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal amounts of time
![Page 98: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
![Page 99: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Since the orbit of each planet is an ellipse with some degree of eccentricity,the distance between the planet and the sun will vary throughout its revolution
![Page 100: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Kepler’s law says that the areas covered each day by the planet will be the same, but the distance traveled will differ
This results in variations in the velocity of revolution
![Page 101: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
When the planet is closer to the sun,the distance to travel is greater,so the velocity has to be greater
![Page 102: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
When the planet is farther from the sun,
the distance to travel is less,
so the velocity is less
![Page 103: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
In summary
Orbital velocity isGreatest when the planet is
closest to the sun
andleast when the planet is
farthest from the sun
![Page 104: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)

3. Third law
A planet’s period of revolution is directly related to its distance from the sun
as distance from the sun increases
period of revolution increases
![Page 106: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)

This difference in rate of revolution results inretrograde motionwhich is seen when the earth passes a planet farther from it causing it to look like it is going backwards
![Page 108: Earth in space Topic 3 in Review Book I. Celestial observations All of the objects in our sky appear to be located on a dome (hemisphere) that encircles](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110214/56649ebf5503460f94bca47e/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
B. Gravitational attraction
Sir Isaac Newton statedEvery object in the universe
is attracted to every other object in the universe.
This attraction is called gravity
