    The orbital speed of Jupiter is [MNR 1986; UPSEAT 2000]

    A) Greater than the orbital speed of earth

    B)             Less than the orbital speed of earth

    C)             Equal to the orbital speed of earth

    D)             Zero

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Orbital radius of Jupiter > Orbital radius of Earth             \[\frac{{{v}_{J}}}{{{v}_{e}}}=\frac{{{r}_{e}}}{{{r}_{J}}}\].  As \[{{r}_{J}}>{{r}_{e}}\] therefore \[{{v}_{J}}<{{v}_{e}}\]
