In Physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star In Astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference for the Orbital elements of a Celestial body. Events 406 – Vandals, Alans and Suebians cross the Rhine, beginning an invasion of Gallia. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The Julian date (JD is the interval of time in days and fractions of a day since 4713 B 5) | |
| Aphelion | 442. In Celestial mechanics, an apsis, plural apsides (ˈæpsɨdɪːz is the point of greatest or least distance of the Elliptical orbit of an object from 886 Gm (2. 961 AU) |
| Perihelion | 312. In Celestial mechanics, an apsis, plural apsides (ˈæpsɨdɪːz is the point of greatest or least distance of the Elliptical orbit of an object from 736 Gm (2. 091 AU) |
| Semi-major axis | 377. In Geometry, the semi-major axis (also semimajor axis) is used to describe the dimensions of ellipses and hyperbolae 811 Gm (2. For other meanings see Giga (disambiguation Giga- (symbol G is a prefix in the SI system of units denoting 109 The metre or meter is a unit of Length. It is the basic unit of Length in the Metric system and in the International 526 AU) |
| Eccentricity | 0. The astronomical unit ( AU or au or au or sometimes ua) is a unit of Length based on the distance from the Earth to the In Astrodynamics, under standard assumptions, any Orbit must be of Conic section shape 172 |
| Orbital period | 1465. The orbital period is the time taken for a given object to make one complete Orbit about another object 958 d (4. A day (symbol d is a unit of Time equivalent to 24 Hours and the duration of a single Rotation of planet Earth with respect to the 01 a) |
| Average orbital speed | 18. In Astronomy, a Julian year (symbol a) is a unit of measurement of Time defined The orbital speed of a body generally a Planet, a Natural satellite, an artificial satellite, or a Multiple star, is the speed at which it 60 km/s |
| Mean anomaly | 45. The second ( SI symbol s) sometimes abbreviated sec, is the name of a unit of Time, and is the International System of Units In the study of orbital dynamics the mean anomaly of an orbiting body is the Angle the body would have traveled about the center of the orbit's Auxiliary circle 401° |
| Inclination | 2. Inclination in general is the Angle between a Reference plane and another plane or axis of direction 342° |
| Longitude of ascending node | 181. This article describes the unit of angle For other meanings see Degree. The longitude of the ascending node (☊ or Ω is one of the Orbital elements used to specify the Orbit of an object in space 168° |
| Argument of perihelion | 176. The argument of periapsis (or argument of perifocus) ( ω) is the Orbital element describing the Angle of an Orbiting body's periapsis 882° |
Physical characteristics | |
| Dimensions | 124. 1 km |
| Mass | 2. Mass is a fundamental concept in Physics, roughly corresponding to the Intuitive idea of how much Matter there is in an object 0×1018 kg |
| Mean density | ? g/cm³ |
| Equatorial surface gravity | 0. The density of a material is defined as its Mass per unit Volume: \rho = \frac{m}{V} Different materials usually have different A cubic centimetre or cubic centimeter (symbol cm3 —the abbreviation cc, though widely used is deprecated is a commonly used unit of Volume The surface gravity, g, of an astronomical or other object is the Gravitational acceleration experienced at its surface 0347 m/s² |
| Escape velocity | 0. In Physics, escape velocity is the speed where the Kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its Gravitational potential energy 0656 km/s |
| Rotation period | ? d |
| Albedo | 0. The rotation period of an astronomical object is the time it takes to complete one revolution around its Axis of rotation relative to the background stars The albedo of an object is the extent to which it diffusely reflects light from the sun 052 [1] |
| Temperature | ~175 K |
| Spectral type | C |
| Absolute magnitude | 8. Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold something that is hotter generally has the greater temperature The kelvin (symbol K) is a unit increment of Temperature and is one of the seven SI base units The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic In Astronomy, absolute magnitude (also known as absolute visual magnitude) is the Apparent magnitude an object would have if it were at a standard 36 |
46 Hestia (IPA: /ˈhɛstiə/) is a large, dark Main belt asteroid. The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the Planets Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids, sometimes called Minor planets or planetoids', are bodies—primarily of the inner Solar System —that are smaller than planets but It is also the primary body of the Hestia asteroid clump. It was discovered by N. R. Pogson on August 16, 1857 and is named after Hestia, Greek goddess of the hearth. Honours The following celestial features are named after him Asteroid 1830 Pogson.
