Answer:
(1) The statement that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus is due to Kepler.
This is from Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Option(C) is correct.
(2) As the two foci of an ellipse are moved away, the shape of the ellipse becomes more like a line between the foci.
Option(A) is correct.

The orbit of a planet around a sun is an elipse with the sun at one focus. The sphetion of a planet is its greatest distance from the sun, its perheton is its shortest distance, and its mean distance is the length of the serimajor axis of the eliptical orbit. If a planet has a perihelion of 406.5 milion miles and a mean distance of 408 milion mies, write an equation for the orbit of the planet around the sun...

The orbit of a planet around its star is an ellipse with the star at one focus. The apoapsis of a planet is its greatest distance from the star and the periapsis is it shortest distance. Its mean distance is the length of thr semimajor acid. The apoapsis of a planet is 451 million miles. If the star is 34.4 million miles from the center of the orbit, what is the periapsis? What is the mean distance? Write an equation...

1 points SPreCalc7112.065.MI. My Notes Ask Your Teacher The planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. The point in the orbit at which the planet is closest to the sun is called perihelion, and the point at which it is farthest is called aphelion. These points are the vertices of the orbit. A planet's distance from the sun is 207,000,000 km at perihelion and 249,000,000 km at aphelion. Find an equation for the...

Question 7 (0.5 points) What causes the Moon to move about 12° across the sky from one night to the next (at the same time of night, of course)? O Because the Earth is turning on its axis. O Because the Moon is moving in its orbit. The Sun has also moved 15° across the sky and gravitationally pulls the Moon with it. The celestial sphere the Moon is attached to has moved 15°. O It is an optical illusion....

What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun? In Homework 10, you found the two main angular velocities of the Earth: one due to the Earth's motion around the sun, and one due to its rotation about its own axis. Now let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion. IVO ALV O a ? For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with...

Kepler's 3 Laws of motion describe orbital motions as ellipses. This question will test your knowledge about ellipses and help you apply Kepler's Laws to elliptical problems. Part A Which of the following is true about ellipses? Check all that apply. .An ellipse has two focal points. An ellipse has an oval shape. An ellipse has the sum of the distances from the focal points to the surface of the ellipse is constant. A circle is a special kind of...

1. An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 1660× 103 seconds (about 19 days) on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 235.0 × 106 m and the planet has a radius of 3.10 × 106 m, calculate the moon's radial acceleration ?cac. 2. In a laboratory test of tolerance...
