mmmm! pi!Chi Meson said:You will also need a slice of pi.
The speed of a planet is calculated using its orbital period and distance from the sun. The formula for calculating speed is: speed = (2 x pi x distance) / orbital period.
The unit of measurement used for planet speed is kilometers per second (km/s).
Yes, the speed of a planet can change due to factors such as gravitational pull from other objects, changes in its orbit, and external forces like comets or asteroids.
The speed of a planet affects its orbit in that a faster speed will result in a wider orbit, while a slower speed will result in a narrower orbit. This is due to the balance between the gravitational pull of the planet and the centrifugal force created by its speed.
According to the laws of physics, there is no maximum speed limit for planets. However, their speed cannot exceed the speed of light, which is 299,792,458 meters per second.
