4. How does an increase in orbital radius affect average orbital speed

1 Answer

5 votes
If there is an increase in orbital radius, this would also increase the average orbital speed or the velocity.

The orbital radius and the orbital speed is directly proportional. When the radius is increased, the orbital speed will also increase but it has to add energy to the system to increase the orbital radius.
