What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?
The “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?
