What do you call the slow movement of earths axis with a period of 26000 years?
Procession of the Equinox
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
Are earths magnetic poles located on its axis?
No
Is the earths axis perpendicular to the equator?
Mercury
How does the earths movement cause days and nights?
Because it tilts on its axis
Why revolution is called annual movement of the earth?
It is caused by the earths tilt on its axis.
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
What can be observed by earths rotation on its axis?
The passage of the sun across the sky during daylight, and the stars circling round the axis during darkness.
What do you call the slow movement of earths axis with a period of 26000 years?
Procession of the Equinox
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?
intersect
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
What is earths movement?
The earth moves in a circular fashion, which is a left to right movement. It also moves on its axis, which helps keep it rotation and gravity pull well balanced. Just one slight move of the axis and the earth will go hurling in space.
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
The movement of a planet around the sun?
The name of the path a planet occupies in its movement around the Sun is called an orbit. The shape of the path is an ellipse, with the Sun at the focus. Due to the inverse-square rule of gravity, the speed of movement is greater in orbits closer to the sun, slower for more distant orbits.
What evidence of the tilt of earths axis?
Seasons
