Please Complete;

  • HWK - Planetary Orbits - Graphs

The task;
Use the data on the table in your handouts to plot at least 2 graphs;
  1. Orbital Radius (X-Axis) - Orbital Speed (Y-Axis)
  2. Orbital Radius (X-Axis) - Orbital Period (Y-Axis)
If you have time, do the 3rd graph;
  1. Orbital Radius (X-Axis) - Rotational Period (Y-Axis)
SCAN THE GRAPHS IN TO ONE NOTE

It may be useful to have in your mind these defintions;
  • Orbital Radius ; How far the planet is from the sun
  • Orbital Speed ; How fast the planet is moving as it orbits around the star
  • Orbital Period; How long it takes to complete one orbit of the star (How long its 'year' is)
  • Rotational Period ; How long it takes for the planet to spin around on its axis once (How long its 'day' is)
