Newton's Law of Gravitation- by using the formula, F=m1m2/d^2, you can find the Force of gravity between two different objects. For Example, To find the force of gravity between the moon and the earth, you would multiplying their masses and then divide by distance between them squared.
Orbital Period- Orbital period is the time it takes for a planet to make a full revolution around the sun. For example, it takes the Earth 365 days to orbit around the sun creating the length of one year on earth.
Orbital Velocity- Orbital velocity is the speed that a planet is moving as it revolves around the sun. It is affected by the force of gravity between it and the sun and its distance from the sun. Like normal velocity, it can be calculated by dividing the distance of its orbit by the time is takes to do a full rotation.
My biggest strength while doing this project was critical thinking. This project focused a lot more on making connections from the information given to us on the NASA data sheet. Even though this was new and was a pretty major challenge I was able to find those connections and explain them clearly. This project was also the first project with one other partner instead of groups of 4. Because of this, it was more important to split the work and find a way to work together well or the project would fail.
Even though we finished on time, I think we could've done better at keeping a good track on our time and priority management. This is related to the conscientious learning skill which I need to improve on. I think I need to work on my communication skills so I can clearly express my ideas clearer so that our group would be on the same page and be working toward the same goal.
