The moon's orbital speed around the Earth is about 1.02 Km/s. Think carefully about the question. Orbiting is a motion, so the moon cannot possibly be still while it orbits. Perhaps you are wondering about the moon spinning on its axis. It is easy to see that some people might think that the moon does not spin on its axis, since the same face orients toward earth all the time. However, the moon does have to spin on its axis, one time for every orbit. This is why the same face orients toward earth all the time.
What else can I help you with?
What does the moon have?
the sun stays still the earth ROTATES and orbits while the earth ORBITS on its AXIS it turns around till it is dark and the moon orbits around the earth.
Does the earth still in place while the sun orbits around us?
NO!
How many seahorses remain on the earth?
well biologically around 600 remain and are still mateing. thy are indangered though
Is there moon on the Earth?
The moon is not on the earth if it was we all would be dead because we would have been squashed by the moon and the gravitaty. but the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun. it is like a racetrack when your watching a cartoon and they get hit in the head and birds are flying around their head. its like the racecar driver was driving still and got hit in the head and had the birds flying around it.
What is meant by a geostationary orbit?
A geosynchronous orbits refers to the orbit of a satellite that matches the rotation of the earth, allowing it to remain above the same line of longitude. The satellite may still move north and south but not east or west. A geostationary orbit is a specific type of geosynchronous orbit directly above the equator. This allows the satellite to remain completely stationary over a fixed point on the earth's surface.
The fact that the position of the constellation seems to change throughout the year is evidence that?
It is evidence that the earth orbits around the sun.
Can you escape the earth gravity by going to the moon?
No. If you are on the moon, then the moon is the dominant gravitational body in your area, but the moon still orbits Earth and so is still very much under the influence of Earth's gravity.
How does the sun moon and earth orbit?
The sun does not orbit the earth and moon. The moon orbits the earth and both orbit the sun.
Where there is no gravity in space then why planets revolving around the sun in a fix orbit?
There is gravity in space. Planets are gravitationally attracted to the sun, which is why they remain in orbit around the sun. There is a phenomenon that we see in orbit that is sometimes called weightlessness, although that is a misleading term. Free fall is a more accurate term. An orbiting object (or astronaut) is still being gravitationally attracted to the Earth, but because of the orbital velocity, does not actually fall to the Earth but orbits around it instead. Instead of falling downward, such objects are effectively falling in a circle (or elliptical path). They seem to be weightless but they do still have weight.
Does the moon orbit the earth or the earth orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth, but technically, the Moon and Earth orbit each other, around their center of mass. Due to the Moon's size, the Moon-Earth system is sometimes called a "binary planet" system.A little bit of both. Earth is much more massive than the Moon so the Moon mostly goes around Earth, but the Moon does still tug Earth around somewhat.The Moon helps with the Earth's tides.In more scientific language, the Earth and Moon both rotate around their common centre of mass, called the barycentre.This is actually inside the planet Earth. So, although it's not strictly correct, it'spretty accurate to say that the Moon orbits the Earth.
If Earth did not turn on its axis could you still define an ecliptic?
Yes. The ecliptic plane is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. From where we sit, it appears as the path (line) that the sun travels through the stars. The 'signs' of astrology originated as the constellations along that line. All of this is associated with the earth's revolution around the sun, not its daily rotation.
How many times does the moon orbit the sun?
No one knows because no one was alive at the beginning so we can only guess how old the earth is. the moon goes around the earth once a day. the dinosaurs were born trillions of years ago, do the math!
