The earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, so the earth moves at a constantly varying velocity as it moves closer to the sun (perihelion) or further away (aphelion). The earth's angular velocity (speed of movement) is considerably greater at perihelion than it is at aphelion.he earth gets through 10% of its path in the same length of time whether it is at aphelion (moving slowly) or perihelion (moving fast). The absolute speed at which the earth moves varies, but the rate at which it orbits is constant.
This keeps the radius and the speed constant. Fg = m v2 / r. Low-Earth Orbit. The Space Shuttle is an excellent example of a satellite in a low-Earth orbit. The Space Shuttle orbits about 100 km to 200 km above Earth's surface.Earth's radius is about 6 000 km so this is an increase of only about 2% or 3%.That means the force of gravity is only about 4% to 6% less than at Earth's surface.his keeps the radius and the speed constant.
