Earth spinning on its axis?
Yes, the earth does spin around its axis. That's what causes the apparent movement of the sun and the stars. If your question was rather what spinning on its axis mean? Ever saw a sphere spinning? It means that.
What is the Spinning movement. The earth made called?
The spinning of the earth is called rotation. It takes the earth abut 24 hours, or one day, to make one complete rotation. At the same time, the earth is moving around the sun. This is called a revolution.
Which Earth process can be caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
volcannic eruptions
What do we mean when we say the earth rotates and revolves?
A rotating object is spinning, like a top, or the central part of a gyroscope. Earth's movement in its orbit around the sun each year is called revolution. Earth rotates on its axis causing day and night, and it revolves around the sun, marking the passages of years.
The photosphere is about 100 times the diameter of the Earth and large sunspots are larger than your whole planet?
Yes the photosphere is 100 times the diamater of the earth and large sunspots are larger than the Earth.
The change in earth's total insolation is caused by?
sunspots
A change in Earth's total insolation would be caused by what?
Sunspots
A change in Earth's total isolation would be caused by?
sunspots
A change in earth total insolation would be caused by?
Sunspots
Are seasons caused by sunspots?
No. Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt and position towards the Sun.
Seasons are caused by?
the earth spinning
What are sunspots.how do they affect earth?
Sunspots are originally thought to be planets. They are darker than the surrounding photo sphere. Sunspots are caused by large magnetic fields
Are day and night caused by the earth spinning on its axis?
Yes
The combination of the movement of huge convection currents and the spinning of earth causes regional wind patterns?
It is true that the combination of the movement of convection currents and the spinning of earth causes regional wind patterns.
What is caused the sea movement?
It is caused by earth quake.
What happens to duration of day when earth stops spinning?
The duration of the day is directly related to Earth's rotation (spinning). If Earth would spin slower, the days would get longer. This is not hypothetical; Earth is indeed spinning slower and slower - although that's not a quick process, but one that has been going on for millions of years. In the hypothetical case that Earth stopped spinning altogether - though this is not likely to happen - the length of a day would be equal to a year; sunrise and sunset would be caused by Earth's movement around the Sun.
What is caused by the earth spinning on its axis?
Day and night. One half of the Earth is always illuminated by the Sun, while the other half faces away. The spinning of the Earth is called its rotation.
