Orbital Period | MCQs

Explanation

A communication satellite in a geostationary orbit completes one revolution around the Earth in 24 hours.

This is the same amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis.

Explanation

• Jupiter takes approximately 4332.62 Earth days to complete one revolution around the Sun.
• Which is the longest revolution period of all the planets in our solar system.

Explanation

The sun rises in the East and sets in the West.

which means that the Earth is rotating from West to East. 

Earth revolves in orbit around the Sun in 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes.

with reference to the stars, at a speed ranging from 29.29 to 30.29 km/s.

The 6 hours, 9 minutes add up to about an extra day every fourth year,

which is designated a leap year, with the extra day added as February 29th.

Explanation

• The revolution of the Earth around the Sun causes the changing seasons, including Summer and Winter.
• As the Earth's axis is tilted and different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
