What are the 2 movement of the earth?
1. Rotation (earth rotates on it's axis) 2. Orbit (earth orbit's arount the sun)
What is a planet's rotation?
A revolution is usually an orbit.
How long does it take Jupiter to orbit its axis?
0 days 9 hours 56 minutes in Earth Time by the way it is a complete rotation on its axis, not to orbit on its axis.
What are the two movement of the planets?
orbit and rotation there is also a wobble or tilt that can fluctuate
Day and night are cause by?
the rotation of Earth on its axis.
What is the cause of the 24 hour day on earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun. * * * * * No. It is the rotation of the earth on its own axis.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
What do you call the turning movement of the earth on its axis?
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
What happens to cause day and night?
The rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Is Earth's axis of rotation almost parellel to the plane of its orbit?
No it is not. It is roughly 23° tilted to the side.
How do you get the ratio of earth's orbital period about the sun to the earth's period of rotation about its own axis?
The period of the earth's orbit around the sun is one year. The period of earth's orbit about its own axis is one day. If we estimate one year to be about 365 days, we simply get the ratio 365:1 as the ratio of the period of earth's orbit around the sun to that of earth's rotation about its own axis.
The earth turns on its axis and this is called a?
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
