NASCAR on Tuesday unveiled its 2015 schedules and the 36-race calendar for its premier Sprint Cup Series includes a three-race Western swing in March.
Geosynchronous - An orbit around Earth whose orbital period is equal to a sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes), irrespective of its inclination. - A person on a point on Earth, will see a satellite in this orbit in the same place in the sky at the same time of the day, everyday.
Astronomers call this orbit eccentric because Pluto follows an orbit that traces out an elongated ellipse around the Sun. Plutoâs orbit is also highly inclined. This means that it doesnât orbit within the same plane as the rest of the Solar System. Instead, Pluto orbits at an angle of 17-degrees.For part of its orbit, Pluto is above the plane of the ecliptic (where the other planets orbit) and other times itâs below that plane.Because the orbit of Pluto varies so widely, it can switch places with Neptune, orbiting closer to the Sun.nstead, Pluto orbits at an angle of 17-degrees.
