|
The speed of Earth is constant regardless of its distance from the sun.
|
|
|
The speed of Earth is constant because the distance remains the same between Earth and the sun.
|
|
|
Speed Increases the farther Earth is from the sun and decreases the closer it is to the sun.
|
|
|
Speed increases the closer Earth is to the sun and decreases the farther it is from the sun.

Detailed explanation-1: -A planet’s orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun’s gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun’s gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement describes the motion of Earth around the sun? Speed increases the closer Earth is to the sun and decreases the farther it is from the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s first law means that planets move around the Sun in elliptical orbits.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement is true about the environment of most of Earth? Humans can cause rapid changes in the environment that may result in catastrophic events. Which statement below is the best example of this?
Detailed explanation-5: -Which is true about Earth’s motion through space? The Earth’s revolution changes the Sun-Earth gravitational pull. The Earth’s rotation causes annual changes in its surface temperatures. The tilt of the Earth’s axis and its revolution around the sun produces seasons.
