It may be either actual, (direct or positive.) where physical force Is put upon a man to compel him to do an act against his will, or implied, (legal or constructive.) where the relation of the parties is such that one is under subjection to the other, and is thereby constrained to do what his free will would refuse.
Related Terms. Short for low earth orbit, a satellite system used in telecommunications. LEO satellites orbit the earth between 400 and 1,000 miles above the earth's surface. LEOs are mostly used for data communication such as e-mail, paging and videoconferencing.
To find the approximate distance between the orbits of two planets in AU, subtract the two planet-Sun distances. For example, Earth orbits at 1 AU from the Sun and Venus orbits at 0.72 AU from the Sun. The difference between these two distances is 1.00 - 0.72 = 0.28 AU. To get the number in kilometers, multiply by the conversion above: 0.28 Ã (150 million kilometers) = 42 million kilometers. Another example: Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the Sun and Earth is 1.0 AU from the Sun. So the distance between Jupiter's orbit and Earth's orbit is about 5.2 - 1.0 = 4.2 AU or 630 million kilometers.
