Where can I find the orbital velocities of Earth at its perihelion and aphelion?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Use equations 1.16 & 1.17 on this pagecscott said:Where can I find the orbital velocities of Earth at its perihelion and aphelion?

Earth's orbital velocity is the speed at which it revolves around the Sun. It is approximately 107,000 kilometers per hour or 67,000 miles per hour.
Earth's orbital velocity is affected by the mass of the Sun, the distance between Earth and the Sun, and the gravitational force between the two bodies.
Earth's orbital velocity does not directly impact the seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis is what causes the change in seasons.
No, Earth's orbital velocity is not constant. It varies slightly throughout the year due to changes in Earth's distance from the Sun and the gravitational pull of other planets.
Earth's orbital velocity can be measured using instruments such as radar or by calculating the distance traveled in a specific time period. It can also be calculated using Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
