What are the characteristics of rotation?
The earth's orbit is the path along which the earth travels around the sun. The earth's axis is always inclined to its orbital plane at an angle of 66 and a half degree. shannon is awesome
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
What path earth travels on?
An elliptical orbit round the Sun.
What does earth do around the sun on its fixed orbit?
As the Earth revolves around the Sun on a fixed orbit, the Earth spins on its axis. Each revolution around the Sun is one year. Each full rotation of the Earth on its axis is one day.
Precession of earth's axis causes the date at which perihelion of earth's orbit occur to slowly change?
No.
Does the earth tilt as it travels its orbit?
The Earth's axis is tilted about 23 degrees.
How long does earth take to orbit on its own axis?
earth takes 24hours to orbit on its axis
What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
What do you call the turning movement of the earth on its axis?
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
How does earth stay orbit in its axis?
it is earth's gravity

What causes the cycle of seasons in earth?
The tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to the plane of its orbit.
Where does the moon travels?
The moon travels in a fixed orbit around the Earth
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
Geosynchronous orbit.
What degree is the earth's axis?
Earth's axis tilts at very close to 23.5 degrees.
