How does its orbital speed compare to that of other solar system planets? How fast you need to move to keep in a circular orbit around another body is dictated by how far the two bodies are ...

This means that objects in small orbits travel faster than objects in large orbits. The graph shows how the orbital speed of a planet changes with its distance from the Sun.

Our Sun is on one of the spiral arms as shown in the diagram: The Sun's orbital speed is determined almost entirely by the gravitational pull of matter inside its orbit. The expected orbital speed ...

Orbital sanders measure their speed in orbits per minute (OPM), which typically ranges from 7,000 to 13,000. The faster the pad spins, the more material the sandpaper removes, and the faster it works.
