AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks for the planet nearest to the Sun from the given options: Earth, Moon, Mercury, and Mars. 2. **Recall the Order of Planets**: To determine which planet is closest to the Sun, we need to recall the order of the planets in our solar system. The order, starting from the Sun, is: - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Earth**: This is the third planet from the Sun. - **Moon**: The Moon is not a planet; it is a natural satellite of Earth. - **Mercury**: This is the first planet from the Sun. - **Mars**: This is the fourth planet from the Sun. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Based on the order of the planets, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Planet nearest to the Sun is" is **Mercury**.

A planet revolves around the sun in elliptical orbit of semimajor axis 2 × 10^(12 ) m. The areal velocity of the planet when it is nearest to the sun is 4.4 × 10^(16) m^(2)/ /s . The least distance between planet and the sun is 1.8 × 10^(12) m. Find the minimum speed of the planet in km/s.

A planet revolves about the sun in an elliptical orbit of semi-major axis 2xx10^(12) m . The areal velocity of the planet when it is nearest to the sun is 4.4xx10^(16) m//s . The least distance between the planet and the sun is 1.8xx10^(12) m//s . The minimum speed of the planet in km//s is 10 K . determine the value of K .

The orbit of Pluto is much more eccentric than the orbits of the other planets. That is, instead of being nearly circular, the orbit is noticeably elliptical. The point in the orbit nearest to the Sun is called the perihelion and the point farthest from the Sun is called the aphelion. As Pluto moves from the perihelion to the aphelion, the work done by gravitational pull of Sun on Pluto is

Supose a planet is revolving around the sun in an elliptical path given by (x^(2))/(a^(2)) + (y^(2))/(b^(2))=1 Find time period of revolution Angular momentum of the planet about the sun is L .

Kepler's third law states that square of period revolution (T) of a planet around the sun is proportional to third power of average distance i between sun and planet i.e. T^(2)=Kr^(3) here K is constant if the mass of sun and planet are M and m respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitational the force of alteaction between them is F=(GMm)/(r^(2)) , here G is gravitational constant. The relation between G and K is described as
