    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_orbit

    [nb 1] Earth's orbital speed averages 29.78 km/s (19 mi/s; 107,208 km/h; 66,616 mph), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter in 7 minutes and the distance to the Moon in 4 hours. [3] The point towards which the Earth in its solar orbit is directed at any given instant is known as the "apex of the Earth's way". [4] [5]

    Two elements define the shape and size of the ellipse: Eccentricity (e) — shape of the ellipse, describing how much it is elongated compared to a circle (not marked in diagram). Semi-major axis (a) — half the distance between the apoapsis and periapsis. The portion of the semi-major axis extending from the primary at one focus to the ...

  5. Comet Swift–Tuttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Swift–Tuttle

    Subsequent to 4479, the orbital evolution of the comet is more difficult to predict; the probability of Earth impact per orbit is estimated as 2 × 10 −8 (0.000002%). [7] Comet Swift–Tuttle is by far the largest near-Earth object (Apollo or Aten asteroid or short-period comet) to cross Earth's orbit and make repeated close approaches to ...

    That’s only the apparent path if your presumption is that the earth and stars are stationary and the sun is revolving around the earth. It’s been quite a while since that was the first thought that entered one’s mind as the explanation for the sun’s movement across the sky, so that isn’t a description that quickly conveys the desired ...

  7. 96P/Machholz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/96P/Machholz

    The orbit of 96P/Machholz corresponds to the Arietids and the Marsden and Kracht comet groups. [12] Its Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter, T J, is 1.94 and comets are generally classified as Jupiter family if T J > 2. [6] Orbital integrations indicate that T J was greater than 2 about 2500 years ago.

    The orbits are ellipses, with foci F 1 and F 2 for Planet 1, and F 1 and F 3 for Planet 2. The Sun is at F 1. The shaded areas A 1 and A 2 are equal, and are swept out in equal times by Planet 1's orbit. The ratio of Planet 1's orbit time to Planet 2's is (/) /.
