List the two factors that create orbital motion and describe how each factor affects the motion.​

The forward motion of a body in space, such as a planet or moon, and the pull of gravity on it from another body in space.

Explanation:

Earth and many other bodies—including asteroids, comets, and the other planets—move around the sun in curved paths called orbits. Generally, the orbits are elliptical, or oval, in shape. Because of the sun’s relatively strong gravity, Earth and the other bodies constantly fall toward the sun, but they stay far enough away from the sun because of their forward velocity to fall around the sun instead of into it. As a result, they keep orbiting the sun and never crash to its surface. The motion of Earth and the other bodies around the sun is called orbital motion. Orbital motion occurs whenever an object is moving forward and at the same time is pulled by gravity toward another object.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
