What does a string represent between the sun and a planet?
gravity/rotation
Spinning of a planet?
To stay up in space. Gravity.
Gravity is responsible for the?
orbits of the planet around the sun
Earth rotation and orbital motion and its effects?
The earth's rotation and orbital motion is responsible for the days and nights on the planet. This movement is also responsible for the changes in the seasons.
What motion of the planet is responsible for night and day?
Rotation around the planets central axis.
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
True or false rotation implies orbital motion of a planet about a star for astronomers?
Yes because if a Star has a planet the gravity of the planet will rock it back and forth
What force is responsible for the orbit of the planet in the solar system?
That would be gravity and inertia.
How does gravity affect Earth's water?
The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves. The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
Why do you need rotation?
It is necessary for a planet to rotate around a sun, or other large mass, because it is what allows the planet to stay at a fairly consistent distance away from the larger mass. If there was no rotation, the planet would go hurtling toward the mass. The rotation adds an outward acceleration to counteract the force of gravity from the larger mass.
What is ment by the rotation of a planet?
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
