What does earth spin on?
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
What does rotationalperiod mean in astronomy?
It means the length of time it takes an astronomical body ... like the Earth, moon, sun, another planet, or one of its moons ... to make one complete spin.
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
What is counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon called?
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
Does the moon spin on an axis as it orbits the Earth?
Yes, the moon does spin on its axis as it orbits the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the moon facing towards us.
What is the spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole?
The spin of a planet or moon, when observed from above its pole, appears as a rotation around its axis. This rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the orientation of the axis relative to its orbit. For instance, Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. The spin direction is an important characteristic, as it influences the planet's weather patterns and day-night cycle.
Does the Earth's core spin within the planet?
Yes, the Earth's core spins within the planet.
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
How does a moon's motion compare to a planet's motion?
They both spin on an axis.
What planet helped form earth?
They don't have names because they no longer exist, they're the planetoids that joined to form this planet ... and that great honker that knocked off the moon and gave us our spin.
Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
Does thew moon have water?
No, the moon does not have any water due to the fact that its core is only one-fifth the size of its radius. In contrast, Earth's core is about half the size of the planet's radius. Furthermore, the moon's core is not molten, nor does the moon spin on its axis, it's tidally locked to Earth.
