Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which characteristic of the planets in our solarsystem increases as the distance from the Sunincreases?
A
equatorial diameter
B
eccentricity of orbit
C
period of rotation
D
period of revolution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kepler’s Third Law implies that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The orbital periods of the planets increase with increasing distance from the Sun. The gravitational pull of the Sun decreases with increasing distance from the Sun. The orbit lengths of the planets increase with increasing distance from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -A planet has a definite path in which it revolves around the Sun. This path is called an orbit. The period of revolution of a planet around the Sun increases as the distance of the planet increases from the Sun. Hence, greater the distance, greater is the time period.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: D-temperature and density Which of the following characteristics of a solar nebula Increases with distance from the Sun?

Detailed explanation-5: -(3) The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun.
