Because centrifugal force increases according to the square of, one would expect gravity to be cancelled for an object travelling 17 times faster than the Earth's rotation, and in fact satellites in low orbit at the equator complete 17 full orbits in one day.

Because moons in retrograde orbits cannot have formed out of the same region of the solar nebula as the planets they orbit, it must have been captured from elsewhere.

Because these LEO orbits are not geostationary, a network ( or " constellation ") of satellites is required to provide continuous coverage.

Because most planets ( except Mercury ), and many small solar system bodies have orbits with small inclinations to the ecliptic, it is convenient to use it as the

Because the Earth orbits the Sun once a year, the sidereal time at any one place at midnight will be about four minutes later each night, until, after a year has passed, one additional sidereal day has elapsed compared to the number of solar days that have gone by.

Because the radial velocity method is easier to find planets with more edge-on orbits, most exoplanets would have inclinations between 45 ° and 135 °, even though most exoplanets don't have known inclination.

Because Uranus orbits the Sun almost on its side, and its moons orbit in the planet's equatorial plane, they ( including Oberon ) are subject to an extreme seasonal cycle.

Because these inner planets are inside the Earth ’ s orbits their positions as viewed from the Earth are never very far from the position of the Sun.

Because the centaurs cross the orbits of the giant planets and are not protected by orbital resonances, their orbits are unstable within a timescale of 10 < sup > 6 </ sup >– 10 < sup > 7 </ sup > years.

Because lower orbits are faster than higher orbits, the trailing craft will begin to catch up.

Incidentally, Kepler used another one of Napier's inventions for his calculations ( much more appropriate for computing planets ' orbits than his Napier's bones ): the logarithm tables ; Because of this, Kepler dedicated his Ephemeris to John Napier.

Because asteroids ' orbits can be highly eccentric, an Aten orbit need not be entirely contained within Earth's orbit ; in fact, nearly all known Aten asteroids have their aphelion greater than one AU even though their semi-major axis is less than one AU.

Because their eccentricities are very large, about a third of Amor III asteroids have orbits that stretch beyond the asteroid belt and come within 1 AU of Jupiter.

Because of high winds predicted at the nominal landing time, the landing was moved two orbits earlier to 12: 33 EDT on 23 October 1989.

Because they orbit Mars in low-inclination equatorial orbits, the shadows of Phobos or Deimos projected onto the surface of Mars exhibit a seasonal variation in latitude.

Because it orbits relatively close to Mars, Deimos cannot be seen north of 82. 7 ° N or south of 82. 7 ° S ; such latitudes will obviously not see transits either.

Because Phobos orbits close to Mars and in line with its equator, transits of Phobos occur somewhere on Mars on most days of the Martian year.

Because it orbits so close to Mars, Phobos cannot be seen north of 70. 4 ° N or south of 70. 4 ° S ; observers at such latitudes will obviously not see transits, either.

Because it preserves many properties of periodic and quasiperiodic orbits of the original system and has a lower dimensional state space it is often used for analyzing the original system.

Because the moon orbits the earth in the same direction the earth is rotating, the moon rises later each day – on average about 50 minutes later each day ( 24 / 29. 5 hours, or the number of hours in a solar day divided by the number of solar hours it takes for the moon to orbit the earth ).

Because test particles follow geodesics in a fixed metric, the orbits of those particles may be determined using the calculus of variations, also called the Lagrangian approach.

Because the planet orbits in a near Earth orbit, Iota Horologii was ranked 69th in the list of candidates for NASA's planned Terrestrial Planet Finder mission.

Because the private eye intends to save society in spite of himself, he invariably finds himself in trouble with the police.

Because the responsibility for resolving the issue lay with the President, rather than with his doctors, nothing raises more surely for us the difficulties simple goodness faces in dealing with complex moral problems under political pressure.

Because of its wealth of experience, the Organization for European Economic Cooperation could help with the initial studies needed.

Because administration of the forest highway system is a responsibility of the Secretary of Commerce with maintenance provided by the States and counties, this Development Program for the National Forests does not include estimates of the funds needed to maintain the forest highway system nor to construct the additions to it that are needed.

Because of the difference between daytime and nighttime propagation conditions, it has been necessary to evolve different allocation structures for daytime and nighttime broadcasting in the AM band, with many more stations operating during the day than at night.

Because of this, only those with truly fine equipment will be able to appreciate the exact degree of the engineers' triumph.

Because they prepare their own meals they also keep in their pockets a good portion of that $10.50 food bill along with most of the tip money.

Because of undesirable flavors, odors, colors, and generally low palatability associated with radiation treatment of this magnitude, the inactivation of enzymes is best accomplished prior to irradiation by the conventional heat-processing methods of blanching.

Because the rake angle Af at the tip of the knife is very much smaller ( or even negative ) when compared to the value of **yc for the major portion of the knife, a very rapid increase in cutting force with thickness will result.

Because the food is selected with thought for its nutritional value, care for its origin, and prepared in a manner that retains the most nutrients, the food does taste good.

Because of this he was known as Gimpy ( but, as with Capone and his nickname of Scarface, never in his presence ).

Because Don was leaving the next day, I spent the evening with him at Asia Center.

-- Held out of Texas Tech's sweat-suits drill Monday at Lubbock was tackle Richard Stafford, who is undergoing treatment for a leg injury suffered in the Raiders' 38-7 loss to Texas A & M Because of its important game with Arkansas coming up Saturday, Baylor worked out in the rain Monday -- mud or no mud.

Because it is so large a state, with marked contrasts in population density, the organization of the New York co-operative offers a cross-section of how the plan works.

Because he spoke openly with what Channing had prophesied someone might -- with daring hyperbole -- Parker vindicated Channing's further prophecy that he who committed this infraction of taste would promptly discover how little mercy liberals were disposed to allow to libertarians who appeared to them libertines.

Because your soul was made to be filled with God Himself, not religious functions `` about '' Him.

Because I liked this sad person so much, I said, `` Will you have a drink with me ''??

Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil in sealed glass ampoules to prevent reaction with air.

Because the percentage of each constituent can be varied, with any mixture the entire range of possible variations is called a system.

Because of their relatively large mass, + 2 electric charge and relatively low velocity, alpha particles are very likely to interact with other atoms and lose their energy, so their forward motion is effectively stopped within a few centimeters of air.

Because in early Anglo-Latin writing, paterfamilias (" head of a family, householder ") usually referred to a ceorl, Donald A. Bullough suggests that Alcuin's family was of cierlisc status: i. e., free but subordinate to a noble lord, and that Alcuin and other members of his family rose to prominence through beneficial connections with the aristocracy.

Because of the high polish possible with agate it has been used for centuries for leather burnishing tools.
