Earth moves through space following an orbit. All planets have different orbits, and they can be changed when a planet gets too close to a different planet. Then the planet's gravitational pull could alter the orbit. For example, if Earth gets too close to Mars, Mars' gravitational pull could alter the Earth's orbit.
I hope that helps a bit!

∙ 14y agoLike all the planets, Earth rotates, or spins, on its axis. The axis is an imaginary line that runs through Earth's center between the North and the South Poles. Earth takes 24 hours to finish one complete spin on its axis. As a result, one day is 24 hours. As Earth turns, different parts of the planet are in sunlight or in darkness. The part facing the sun has day, and the part facing away has night. Earth has another motion, too. The planet makes one revolution, or complete orbit around the sun, in 364 1/4 days. This period is what we define as one year. Every four years, the extra one-fourths of a day are combined and added to the calendar as February 29. A year that contains one of these extra days is called a Leap year.

Why the atmosphere of earth moves as the earth orbits around the sun or why not that the earth loss it asmosphere as it moves in the space?
Not sure I got the question completely but here goes: Gravity. Gravity is keeping our atmosphere close to us, in case you think there is some kind of a magic barrier where the atmosphere just stops existing and you're suddenly in space, that's not the case. The atmosphere continues and leaves particles in space all the time, it just gets thicker the closer to ground on earth you get. I'm not sure what you mean by that first question.. Why the atmosphere moves? Moves along with the earth I presume, same reason as above then.
Could the water on earth has been through the water cycle?
The water moves continuously through the water cycle.
What problem with earthbound telescopes does a space telescope overcome?
if you are looking at space from earth with a telescope your view will have to go through the earth atmosphere.... and for that the less brighter object in space will be blocked by the atmosphere... polutions etc.... but space telescope like hubbles... etc are situated in outer layer of our earth atmosphere..... thats why through it we can observe much clear space view....
Are you in the earth or on the earth?
We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D
Why is ultrasonic not how energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
Sound can not propagate through empty space. The space between Sun and Earth is empty for all practical purposes.
What does the earth spin on as it moves through space?
an orbit
Where is the earths center of gravity and why it spin as it moves through space?
The earth's center of gravity is the center of the earth, or the center of the mass with the mass being the earth. The earth spins as it moves through space on account of sun's gravitational forces and because there is nothing in space to get in the way or stop the earth from rotating.
What are the two major motions of Earth as it travels through space?
earth moves through space two major ways:rotation and revolution -jerrold robinson-
Why does the moon move through space?
the gravitational pull of the earth moves the moon
When the earth moves can you see it?
From space but not earth.
Is spaceship Earth related to the shape of earth?
The name "Spaceship earth" came about because the earth moves through space and it is holding people just like a spaceship.
When the Earth moves through outer space how do these movements create daytime nightime and the four seasons?
When the earth is farthest away from the sun we have winter.
How do the earth move in space?
the gravity moves the Earth in a circle
What moves through space where there is no matter?
Constellation is moved by space
What do a wave do?
It moves energy through space.
Why does earth move in a revolution in space?
The Earth moves around the sun due to the warping of space time that we perceive as gravity.
How else does the earth move besides in space?
It moves in Time, the fourth dimension.
