Question

revolution and rotation the planets that orbit our sun complete a full orbit in different lengths of time. the time it takes an object to travel once around the sun is its period of revolution. it takes earth 365.24 days to complete one revolution. a planet’s speed changes as it orbits the sun based on the elliptical shape of its orbit. the closer the planet is to the sun, the faster it moves. the farther the planet is from the sun, the slower it moves. not drawn to scale long description enter your answer. infer examine the image. at which point is this planet moving the fastest and why? check your answer.

Explanation:

The text states that the closer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves. Position C is the closest to the star (equivalent to the Sun in the real - solar system context) among the given positions.

Answer:

The planet is moving the fastest at Position C because it is the closest to the star and according to the principle, planets move faster when they are closer to the star they orbit.
