It is a common misconception among students that planetary orbits are circular.
This activity puts speed time graphs in a space context by looking at the elliptical orbits.

The change in the comet tail is also shown.
In order to understand the orbits of planets comets and other celestial bodies it is necessary to examine the principles of how gravity and the velocity of an object interact to produce an orbit.

Speed and time of orbiting bodies.
The variation is due to the centripetal acceleration provided by the gravitational attraction of the sun.
