Answer
Based on Kepler's observations about planetary motion, what is the relationship between a planet's orbital velocity and its distance from the sun?(1 point)
Responses
Distance has no effect on orbital velocity.
Distance has no effect on orbital velocity.
As distance is cut in half, orbital velocity decreases.
As distance is cut in half, orbital velocity decreases.
The greater the distance, the greater the orbital velocity.
The greater the distance, the greater the orbital velocity.
The greater the distance, the slower the orbital velocity.
