What else can I help you with?
What position of the Earth in its orbit it is summertime in the northern hemisphere?
Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit. The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth points in the general direction of Orion.
How would you describe Neptune's orbit?
Neptune's orbit is more like Pluto's orbit, slightly tilted.
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
Describe the seasons you would have if the earth axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit?
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
How long would it take mercury to orbit the sun in earth years?
it would take 88 earth days to orbit the sun so it is 1/4 earth years.
Why does the earth have a moon?
If there is no moon orbiting the earth, then there would be no low/high tides and the tip of the earth on it's axis would be "out-of-whack." The earth might spin out of orbit, resulting in a catastrophy. Everything on the earth would die if the orbit of the earth had something wrong with it.
What if the moon was not in orbit of the earth?
If the moon was not in orbit around the Earth, the tilt of the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of the ecliptic would be unstable. As a result, seasons and climate would be unstable, and life as we know it on Earth would change or disappear.
What is the orbit time around the earth?
Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

What would happen if the earth's orbit suddenly became smaller?
The earth's water would evaporate.
What would the effect on the seasons be if there were no tilt of the earth's rotation axis with respect to the plane of earth's orbit around the sun?
If you include an idealized circular orbit, there would be no seasons. In reality, the Earth's orbit is not circular, so there would be minor seasonal variations due to changes in the Earth's distance from the sun, but the differences would be less acute than those resulting from the Earth's tilt.
Which is rounder the orbit of earth or your ellipse 1?
The orbit of Earth around the Sun is an ellipse, but it is nearly circular, with an eccentricity of about 0.0167. In comparison, the roundness of an ellipse depends on its eccentricity; a perfect circle has an eccentricity of 0. Therefore, if "ellipse 1" has a higher eccentricity than Earth's orbit, it would be less round than Earth's orbit; otherwise, Earth's orbit is rounder.
Why is the Moon's orbit tilted?
Maybe because the earth's tilted orbital plane causes the moon to orbit tiled, if the earth was straight it has said that the moon would orbit straight line.
