Yes.
I believe the higher the orbit the
higher the velocity(orbiting nucleus same as planet oribiting
sun),
No, they aren't in orbit around the nucleus. That's the
misconception I keep mentioning. Not AT ALL the same as
planets orbiting the sun.
And planets in a "higher" orbit, meaning farther from the Sun,
move at lower velocities than planets that are closer to the Sun.
Mercury's orbital speed is about 50km/s. Earth's is about 30km/s.
Neptune's is only 5.4 km/s.
So thinking that "higher" orbits
should have higher velocities is another misconception.

$$ Typically, DRAG is SUB-orbital. Orbital DRAG is gravitational.

$$ [DRAG when MERCURY is iNcoming iNCREASES it's orbit velocity.]
$$ [DRAG when MERCURY is OUTgoing DECREASES it's orbit velocity.]

$$ Since MERCURY's orbit ADVANCEs in it's precessional period, it
