Given a planet that rotates at 5000mph And the length of a day being 52 hours how big would this planet be?
Your question contains the answer: 5,000 miles per hour for 52 hours = 260,000 miles. Therefore, the circumference of your planet must be 260,000 miles. That would make your planet ~10.45 times larger than Earth, or 82,761 miles in diameter.Amber_smith said:Given a planet that rotates at 5000mph And the length of a day being 52 hours how big would this planet be?
The size of a planet is determined by measuring its diameter, which is the distance across the planet at its widest point. This can be done using telescopes and other instruments, as well as by analyzing data from spacecraft missions.
The size of a planet is typically measured in kilometers (km) or miles (mi). For larger planets, such as Jupiter, the unit of measurement may be in thousands of kilometers (km).
Yes, the size of a planet can change over time due to natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, tectonic activity, and impacts from other objects. However, these changes are usually very small and may take millions of years to occur.
The size of a planet can greatly impact its characteristics, such as its gravity, atmosphere, and surface features. Larger planets tend to have stronger gravitational forces, thicker atmospheres, and more diverse landscapes, while smaller planets may have weaker gravity and less complex features.
The largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, with a diameter of 139,822 km. The smallest planet is Mercury, with a diameter of 4,879 km. However, the dwarf planet Pluto is smaller than Mercury, with a diameter of only 2,372 km.
