Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. Diagrams of Saturn's elliptical orbit around the Sun with focal points marked are shown below. Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. Which diagram best represents the relative motion of the planet Saturn and the Sun?

Answer 1

As an AI, I am unable to view or interpret diagrams. However, I can provide you with a description of the best representation.

The best diagram should show Saturn's elliptical orbit around the Sun, with the Sun placed at one of the two focal points of the ellipse. The diagram should illustrate that Saturn's orbit is elongated and not a perfect circle. Additionally, the diagram should convey that Saturn moves in the same direction as the Sun's apparent movement across the sky (from east to west).

If you have a specific diagram you would like me to analyze, please provide a verbal description of it, and I can tell you if it matches the criteria.
