What is rotation in space?

The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles

Which process takes earths 24 hours to complete?

A new day begins. Or the Earth has rotated once around it's axis (Not actually true as one complete rotation takes 23h 56m 4.100s)


Why the sun appear to be moving across the sky?

The Earth rotates itself as is revolves around the Sun. Earth is said to have a Prograde rotation by only looking at the North pole. Unlike Earth, Venus has a Retrograde rotation. A Prograde rotation is counterclockwise, while a Retrograde rotation is clockwise. So, from Earth, the sun looks like it rises from the East and rests in the West, but on Venus, the sun rises from the West and sets in the East. Apparently, the answer is that Earth itself rotates counterclockwise as it revolves around the sun. (of course the sun doesn't move, nor is the Earth at the center of the galaxy)


Does it take one year for the earth to complete a rotation?

What are the 2 movement of the earth?

How is Earth's rotation differ from its revolution?

Earth's revolution is the complete orbit around the Sun , it takes nearly 366 days for Earth to complete one complete revolution around the Sun. Earth's revolution causes the changes of seasons. Earth's rotation is the rotation of Earth about its axis (axis tilt of 23.4o).it takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.Earth's rotation causes day and night.


What is the term for the way that earth wobble around it's rotation axis?

The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis. The rotation axis itself rotates,so that the Earth's poles trace around a 23.5-degree circle in the sky, every 26,000years. The term that describes it is "precession".The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis.

What effect does the earth rotating have?

idk if this is a question about the earth's rotation in itself, or if its about it's rotation around the sun. if it's around the sun, that's what gives us our four seasons. if its rotating within itself, it's what gives us night and day.
