It (nearly) all made sense until the final step. You had 3.844.108m-rmoon=9.02 rmoon. How did you proceed from there?serunder said:
I figured it out now I think since like you said, it didn't make sense when I tried to use them as their distance, so what I ended up doing was this:haruspex said:
Yes.serunder said:
Planetary motion is caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and other celestial bodies. This gravitational force keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and also affects their speed and direction of motion.
A space station stays in orbit due to the balance between its forward motion and the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth. This is known as an orbiting object's centripetal force and it keeps the space station in a stable circular or elliptical path around the Earth.
Yes, a space station's orbit can change due to various factors such as atmospheric drag, solar radiation, and gravitational pulls from other objects. In order to maintain a stable orbit, the space station may need to use thrusters to make adjustments.
Scientists use mathematical equations and data from various sources, such as the station's speed and position, to calculate its trajectory. They also take into account factors such as the Earth's gravity and atmospheric conditions.
Astronauts in a space station may experience microgravity, which can affect their bodies and make it difficult to move around without proper training. They may also have to adjust to the constant motion of the station as it orbits the Earth, and the changing views of the planets and stars outside the windows.
