What else can I help you with?
If earth did not rotate could you define the celestial poles and celestial equator?
If Earth did not rotate, the celestial poles would align with the geographic poles, and the celestial equator would align with Earth's equator. The celestial poles are points in the sky that the Earth's axis points towards, and the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Without Earth's rotation, these references would be fixed in the sky.
How you know that earth rotates?
Because everything in the sky can be seen to rotate around us every day. The simplest explanation is that we are rotating and they are all fixed.
How far is sky from earth?
The sky is the Earth's atmosphere.It is not above you, you are in it.
How far does the sky go above the Earth?
The sky above the Earth extends into space, which is about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
How does the big dipper rotate?
The Big Dipper appears to rotate in the sky because of Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, the stars in the sky appear to move across the sky in a circular pattern, giving the illusion of rotation for observers on the ground.
How does the big dipper rotate around the north star?
Not just the big dipper but all of the stars appear to rotate around the North Star because Earth is rotating. The North Star does not appear to move because it is in line with Earth's axis of rotation.
What type of satellite orbits the earth at 22300 miles above the earth?
A satellite in a geostationary orbit orbits the Earth at around 22,300 miles above the equator. Geostationary satellites appear to be stationary in the sky relative to a fixed point on the Earth's surface, making them ideal for communication and weather monitoring.
Is the sky above or around us?
The sky is above us. It is the space that extends upward from the Earth's surface.
Why does the north star appear to not move in the night sky?
The North Star, also known as Polaris, appears not to move in the night sky because it is located very close to the Earth's axis of rotation. This alignment makes it seem as though Polaris remains fixed while the other stars appear to rotate around it as the Earth spins on its axis.
If the sun travels across the sky from east to west in witch direction does earth rotate?
Earth's rotation is East according to the globe.
How far is the earth from the sky?
The sky is the Earth's atmosphere.It is not above you, you are in it.
Why does the sun appear in the sky?
Best to think of the sun as fixed, and you on the earth rotating in and out of its sight.
