Question

if the sun is located at one focus of earth's elliptical orbit, the earth is at the other focus. question 20 options: true false

Answer 1

The statement in question is false; the Sun is at one focus of Earth's elliptical orbit, whereas the other focus does not contain any physical body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'if the sun is located at one focus of Earth's elliptical orbit, the Earth is at the other focus' is false. According to Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, the orbit of each planet, including the Earth, around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse. The other focus of Earth's elliptical orbit does not contain any physical body and is simply an empty point in space that, together with the Sun, defines the shape of the orbit.

Answer 2

False. Sun is at one focus of the orbit and nothing at the other focus.
