The same is following the same direction, but in a smaller area. c) The distance of the planet affects the shape of the orbit, as long as the initial speed is the same. As the tangential speed increases, the orbit becomes more oblong. However, if the velocity is increased, the planet will then escape the stars gravitational pull leave its orbit. 2) Distance and Orbital Period Distance (AU) Orbital Period (Years) 1 0.5 1.2 0.7 1.5 1.2 1.7 1.7 2 2.7 2.2 3.8 2.5 6.5 2.7 9.6 3 19.3 3.2 35.6 3.3 52.6
