Can you explain This Effect of the Earths Gravity and Earths rotation in changing earth surface?
Makilord
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.

The effects are day, night and year.

∙ 12y agoThe primary effect of Earth's rotation is the phenomenon of day and night. The rotation of the Earth about its axis in an anticlockwise direction (when viewed from over the north pole) gives us the impression that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Our heavenly view, in particular that of the night sky, likewise reveals a panorama that moves from east to west.
An additional effect is that of spin or roatation placed on weather systems by what is called Coriolis effect. In the Northern Hemisphere, low pressure systems rotate counterclockwise, and high pressure systems rotate clockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is just the opposite.
The rotation of the Earth also contributes to the shift of the shape of our home planet. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is flattened at the poles and has a bulge around the equator. Earth's shape has actually been modified by its rotation, and we describe its shape as that of an oblate spheroid.
The rotation of the earth contributes to the magnetic field around our planet that protects us against the sun's harmful radiation and solar storms.
The velocity of the rotation of the Earth has had various effects over time, contributing to climate, ocean depth and currents, and plate tectonics.

∙ 11y agoGravity doesn't affect Earth's rotation. A rotating body will simply continue rotating - with or without gravity.
It does affect its revolution around the Sun. Without gravity, the Earth would continue moving in a straight line. The Sun's gravity changes this, to an elliptical orbit.

∙ 12y agoWell when the earth spins the earth will be become round after a while and gravity just squeezes it basicly making it round
If you're wondering why the earth isn't round is because of tectonic plates in the earth they move and cause earthquakes every now and then they change the surface of the earth

∙ 11y agoYou know what i believe... We know earth is tilted. And we know the tilt rotates a 360 like the earth spins. So maybe when the earth is tilted farthest from the sun its an ice age. And when its closest idk maybe the polar caps melt from the suns intense heat and floods the oceans... And that's what i believe is the effect of the earths tilt and rotation. Jordy :)

∙ 13y agoDay and night for a start. The velocity of the rotation of Earth has had various effects over time, including the Earth's shape (an oblate spheroid), climate, ocean depth and currents, and tectonic forces

∙ 11y agoThe effect of the Earth revolving around the Sun is that the northern and southern hemispheres get more or less direct sunlight per day at different times of the year due to the Earth's tilt. This causes seasons.

∙ 12y agoEarth's rotation effects night and day, like how long each is.
Earth's rotation is the cause of night and day.
It's also the cause of the rotation of winds around centers of high and low
air pressure. If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would blow straight into a center
of low pressure, and straight out of a center of high pressure.

∙ 9y ago- Rotation gives us our days. We have daylight and night.
- Rotation is involved in the daily cycle of the tides. Also, rotation affects wind directions due to the Coriolis effect.
- Revolution around the Sun gives us our years.
- The combination of the Earth's tilted axis and Earth's revolution around the Sun gives us the seasons.

What kind of gravity does Saturn have?
At the surface, it's about the same as the Earth's . You get a bit of variation in the value given, but, at the equator, it's about 1.065 times the Earth's. It is about 0.92 times the Earth's gravity, if you take into account the effect of the planet's rotation.
What effect does gravity have on mercury?
Gravity behaves exactly the same on Mercury as it does everywhere else in the universe. Taking into consideration the mass and radius of Mercury, you would calculate that the the acceleration due to gravity at its surface, and therefore the weight of any object on its surface, are about 38% of what they are on Earth, and you'd be correct. That's what they are.
Explain the seasonal changes seen on the surface of mars in terms of changing of state?
On mars there is so hot and slowly slowly it get very hot
How much gravity does the earth have please can you write it in terms a child can understand?
Its hard to explain it, but the equatorial surface gravity is 9.780327 m/s2 or 0.99732 gThe Earths gravity is around 380 ppm (pounds per mile).Sorry if this is too confusing!
How much is Sedna's gravity compared to Earth's gravity?
Sedna's surface gravity is estimated to be 0.27 m/sec2; Earth's surface gravity is about 9.8 m/sec2.
How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
What two types of force are in constant battle on the earth's surface?
I think gravity and rotation, air

What is the difference between rolling and rotation?
When an object rolls the center of gravity (or of geometry - or both depending on the shape of the object) translates (moves) along a path and there is a point of contact with a surface on the perimeter of the object, rotation (angular change) does occur too.During rotation the center of gravity could be motionless and there is probably no point of contact with any surface; the movement is purely angular.
Explain two ways that the movement of earths plates changes the surface of earth?
by rotation and also by erosition
Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
Would gravity exist even if the earth stopped rotating?
Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.
Explain the basic principle of magnetic particle testing?
By changing the permiability of ferromagnetic meterials, surface and near surface discontinuities are traced, is the principle of magnetic particle testing.

How much preasser is gravity?
The pressure of gravity on a surface is(total force of gravity on the surface) divided by (area of the surface)
How much surface gravity does the moon have?
The surface gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth the surface gravity of Earth.
If you assume that Gravity is nothing but Curvature in the space then also why body will move downwards on the curved surface?
The "downward" on the "curved surface" is a 3D model to explain and visualize the effect.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
