In this video we’re going to look at circular orbits of planets, velocity, speed and orbit radius.
As well as the difference between velocity and speed.
Thus, the gravitational attraction between two objects is greater the shorter the distance between them.
If the force between them is greater, then the object must move at a higher velocity to balance the higher gravitational attraction, otherwise the planet will spiral inwards and crash into the sun.
This means that objects in small orbits, such as the inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, travel faster than objects in large orbits, like Neptune and Uranus.

Velocity- speed in a certain direction
The reason why plants orbit is because of the gravitational force planets. (?) gravitational force between the sun and the planets keeps them from deviating. The shorter the distance between the two objects, the greater the gravitational force. Objects with a greater distance must travel at higher velocity to make for the weaker gravitational force and so they don’t crash into the sun. Objects or planets like earth or mars travel at a higher velocity than planets like Jupiter.

The 46th video onwards in this physics playlist says private video, please fix it.

What's that law called that you explained?

[@raheebr2438]

Great explanation!

[@fuseschool]

Glad you think so!
