Is there a pattern related to the distance from the sun and any other characteristic?

Well, besides the obvious one ... that the intensity of light and heat from the sun
is less at greater distances ... there's another one that's much less obvious:
The number
(time to complete one orbit of the sun)2 / (average distance from the sun)3
is the same number for each body orbiting the sun. This is one of Kepler's famous
three laws. He deduced it from crunching many years of detailed observations of the
actual motions of the planets. Then, about 100 years later, Newton came along, and
his law of Universal Gravitation showed why that had to be true.
It says that the time a body takes to orbit another body doesn't depend on the
mass or size of the body, only on the size and shape of the orbit.

What is the difference in time and light years?
Time is a physical characteristic. A light year is a measure of distance, not of time. It is the distance that would be travelled in vacuum by light or other electromagnetic radiation. The distance travelled in outer space is nearly the same and is equal to approx 9.46 trillion kilometres.

How is speed related to time and distance?
Speed, distance and time are related to each other because, speed is directly comparable to distance when time is constant.
Explain how distance time and velocity are related to each other?
They are related through the formula distance = time x velocity (assuming constant velocity).
how distance to a galaxy and speed are related?
Relationship between distance of galaxy and its speed is that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at velocities proportional to their distance. In other words, the further they are the faster they are moving away from us.
What are the characteristic of magnetic attraction and repulsion?
That the effects obey the square of the distance "law".
What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?
One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.

How x-ray crystallography can be used to determine the crystalline structure of solid substances such as sodium chloride?
As x-rays pass through a crystal, such as NaCl, the atoms diffract, or bend the x-rays in certain directions and angles, giving a characteristic pattern on x-ray film. The specific pattern can be used to determine the crystalline structure and distance of the atoms from each other, among other things.

What characteristic of a planet determine the strength of its gravitational force on other objects?
The mass of the planet is all you need to know. That, along with the mass of the other object and the distance between their centers, tells you the strength of the force between them.
What is an intonation patter?
Intonation Pattern is a characteristic series of musical pitch levels that serves to distinguish between questions, statements, and other types of utterance in a language.
What is a transverse rivet pitch?
The distance between rows of rivets from the center of the rivet to the other rivet in a pattern that is staggered.
How is alcohol-related neurologic disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of alcohol-related neurologic disease depends largely on finding characteristic symptoms and signs in patients who abuse alcohol. Other possible causes should be excluded by the appropriate tests.
