The earth's rotation and orbital motion is responsible for the days and nights on the planet. This movement is also responsible for the changes in the seasons.

Earth would not have seasons if?
Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
Which kind of movement of the earth causes day and night?
The movement of Earth on its own axis is called Rotation and it causes day and night.
What effects causes hurricanes to have their swirl?
It swirls due to the earth's rotation.
The earth is undergoing a combination of how many different major motions?
I guess that's: 1. Rotation on its axis (About 24hrs period). 2. Orbital rotation around the Sun (1 year period). 3. Orbital rotation around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy's centre (1 cosmic year period). 4. Movement within the Local Group of galaxies. 5. Moving along with the expansion of the Universe. Probably this question is mainly about numbers 1 and 2. So the answer is "two". It's possible that you could include the "precession" of the Earth's axis also, as a major motion.
Four motion of the earth?
There are two different types of motions of the earth. Rotation is where the earth spins on its axis in a counter-clockwise direction. Revolution is the motion that causes the earth to revolve around the sun. It is also done in a counter-clockwise direction.
What is the result of gravity between the Moon and the Earth?
The gravitational interaction of the Earth and Moon produces a number of effects. The most obvious of these is the orbital motion of the Moon around the Earth, but there is also a motion of the Earth around the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system, tidal effects on the Earth and Moon and professional effects on the Earth's axis of rotation.
How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?
The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.
What is the difference between rotation period and orbital period?
period of rotation = day (24 hrs. only for Earth) orbital period = year (not 365.25 days only for Earth)
What is the motion of the spin of the earth?
Rotation
The earth would not have seasons if?
Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
Earth would not have seasons if?
Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
Rotation or revolution which motion of earth brings morning and which brings summer?
Rotation or revolution which motion of earth brings morning and which brings summer?
What is The motion of earth on its axis is called?
Rotation.
Earth's spinning on its axis is which motion?
Rotation
What is earth orbital rotation?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_Orbit hope this helps =(
Why do the the patterns of the stars appear to shift westward slightly from night to night?
This shift in the constellation is due to two effects. #1 The Earth's axial (daily) rotation & #2 The Earth's orbital track about the Sun.
What are the effects of Earth and rotation?
The effects are day, night and year.
