What are other earth's movement aside from rotation and revolution?

The Earth spins like a top around its own axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun has its own proper motion through the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy every 220 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy itself is moving, but because we don't have any fixed point of reference in the universe, we don't know in what direction.

Why does the moon cause tides in the oceans of earth while Jupiter causes no noticeable tides?

The Moon's gravitational force is stronger because it is closer to Earth, causing tides in Earth's oceans. Jupiter is much further away from Earth, so its gravitational force is not as significant in causing tides. Additionally, Jupiter's large distance and the way its gravity affects different sides of Earth simultaneously result in less noticeable tides compared to those caused by the Moon.


Does Earth also causes tides on the Moon?

Yes, Earth does cause tides on the Moon. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the Moon's surface to bulge and create tides, although they are not as pronounced as the tides on Earth due to the Moon's composition and lack of large bodies of water.


What direct does the earth spin?

east to west < wrong! the sun rises in the East and sets in the West because the earth spins the opposite way. Think about it. Well the earth spins counter-clockwise, so the sun will rise in the East and set in the West because of the rotation its spinning in.

The way in which the Earth's core spins is believed to be the source of its .?

magnetic field. The rotation of the liquid outer core of the Earth generates electric currents and in turn creates a magnetic field. This field is what protects our planet from harmful solar radiation and cosmic particles.
