Yes The earth spins like a top and every so now and then it corrects itself by wobbling to run truer. this has happened a few times without killing everything.

The earth rotates 60degrees does in?

360 degrees is the intuitive answer, but it is not correct. The earth completes a 360 degree rotation in about 23 hours, 56 minutes and some odd seconds, which is the sidereal, or true, rotational period of the earth. I don't know the exact degrees in 24 hours, but it will be reasonably close to 361 degrees (roughly 1 extra degree per day to account for a full rotation over the course of a year).


What is the degree angle width of the moon as seen from earth?

0.52 degrees, on average. Roughly the same size as the sun. Source: Wikipedia


How many degrees does the earth rotate around the sun each day?

A full rotation of Earth is considered one day if only the planet is observed, therefore the Earth will rotate 360 degrees in a day. If the rotation of the Earth is taken into account with the orbit around the sun, the Earth will rotate just under 361 degrees per day.


Why is the earth inclined at 66 and a half degree?

The Earth is inclined at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees, not 66.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. The tilt is believed to be a result of the planet's formation and its interactions with other celestial bodies.


What would the earths weather be with the earth at a 0 degree tilt or a 12 degree tilt?

If the Earth had a 0 degree tilt, there would be no seasons, and the weather would be more uniform across all latitudes. With a 12 degree tilt, the seasons would be more pronounced, resulting in more extreme weather patterns and temperature variations between summer and winter.

Country in the map that is 15 degree north and 75 degree south?

There is no country on earth that includes territory at 15 degrees north and at 15 degrees south.


What is the country or city of 1 degree north and 101 degree south?

"1 degree north" describes a circle that goes all the way around the earth, parallel to the equator and about 70 miles north of it. There is no such coordinate as "101 degree south". The greatest possible latitude number is 90 degrees, at the north and south poles.


What degree is the earth's axis?

Earth's axis tilts at very close to 23.5 degrees.


What degrees is the prime meridian?

The prime meridian is designated as 0 degrees longitude, dividing Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.


What time is used for the measure of the distance from the equator?

The distance from the equator is measured in degrees of latitude, with the equator itself defined as 0 degrees. Latitude ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, either north or south. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.


Where is the location 95 degrees north?

90 degrees north is the earth's north pole. There is no latitude of 95 degrees, either north or south.


How long does it take the earth to rotate one degree longitude?

20 minutes. The Earth rotates 360 degrees every 24 hours. So it rotates 15 degrees every hour, so 5 degrees is 1/3 hours or 20 minutes.


What time is 180 degrees?

There are different possible answers. 180 degrees in he earth's orbit represents 6 months. 180 degrees in the moon's orbit represents around 14 days. 180 degrees in the earth's rotation, or around the earth's body represents 12 hours.


What part of the Earth's surface is represented at 0 45 and 90 degree angles?

0=45 degrees?
