Like any orbit, it may change over time.

What causes a meteor showers at the same time each year?
Earth's orbit crossing the orbit of a defunct comet.
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
The distance between the earth and the sun remains the same throughout the earth's entire orbit.?
false
When Venus passes between the Earth and the sun it is visible as a tiny black dot on the sun's bright disk. Why is Mars never visible in this same way?
The orbit of mars is outside that of the earths orbit
What is the distance between the moon and Venus?
Virtually the same as the distance between Earth and Venus, which varies greatly according to where each is in its orbit. At its closest to Earth, Venus is still more than 100 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
What causes a meteor showers at the same time each year?
Earth's orbit crossing the orbit of a defunct comet.
Triple earth's mass effect its orbit?
The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
Geosynchronous orbit.
Why are the days and years on the moon the same as earth?
They are in the same orbit
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
Whats Mercury's orbital period?
It's about 88 Earth Days.
What do weobserve since the moon rotates for each revolution around the earth?
We always see the same features on the surface - since the rotation is the same period as the orbit.
Is the Earth always the same distance from the sun in its orbit?
No.
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
Does the Moon make a full rotation?
Yes, it rotates once with each orbit of the earth. That is why we see the same side of the moon all the time.
