What else can I help you with?
The earth turns on its axis and this is called a?
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
Is a orbit called a rotation?
The completion of one orbital trip around a 'central body' is called one "revolution". Staying in one place but spinning around yourself one whole time is called one "rotation".
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
How long does it takes earth to do one rotation?
Assuming you mean one rotation on its axis, it takes approximately 24 hours. If by some chance you mean a rotation around the sun (called an orbit) that takes approximately 365 days.
What is counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon called?
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
Is the motion of a planet traveling around the sun called a rotation or a revolution?
Orbit
When periods of the moons rotation and revolution are equal what is it called?
It is called synchronous rotation when the rotation and orbit take the same amount of time.
What is he movement of one object around another object is called?
I just found it , its called revolution
When an object spins or rotates in a fixed point then what will be its rotation called?
The rotation of an object around a fixed point is called "revolution" or "orbital motion".
Are orbit and rotation the same?
No, orbit and rotation are not the same. Orbit is the path an object takes around another object in space, while rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis. For example, the Earth orbits around the Sun and rotates on its axis.
What do you call the earth's motion around the sun?
It could be called a rotation, orbit, revolution, etc...
How many years does it take for neptune to orbit?
The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation". It takes Neptune almost 165 years for one revolution.The movement around the Sun is called "revolution", not "rotation".
