Interesting... it's not a term I'd come across, so I looked it up before answering the post. My reading is that sun synchronicity is not directly related to orbital period. Indeed, I read that typical sun synchronous orbits are at around 500-600km and take under two hours. The term refers to the orbits being so arranged that the Earth's oblateness causes the orbit to precess one day per year, thereby always appearing the same from the sun's perspective. Hence it didn't seem relevant to me.PeroK said:The sun synchronicity is telling you how long the satellite takes to orbit. You could actually work this out using the radius if you know enough about circular motion, as suggested by haruspex above.
But I suspect you won't know enough physics yet so you have been given the period of orbit.
How long does the sun take to "orbit" the earth?
The K.E. of the satellite refers to the kinetic energy of a satellite, which is the energy it possesses due to its motion.
The K.E. of a satellite can be calculated using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the satellite and v is its velocity.
The K.E. of a satellite is important because it determines the amount of energy required to launch and maintain the satellite in orbit.
The K.E. of a satellite is affected by its mass, velocity, and the force of gravity acting upon it.
Yes, the K.E. of a satellite can be changed by altering its velocity or mass through external forces such as rocket thrusters or collisions with other objects.
