Earth is orbiting its stellar primary (the Sun) and its axis of spin is inclined some
67 degrees to the plane of this orbit, with one end of the axis pointing
within 1/3 of a degree toward the star Polaris.

∙ 14y agoDiscounting Earth's rotation, and wobble in that rotation, there are at least 4 other known motions:
1. Earth's orbit around the sun - 30 kilometers per second ( 66,700 MPH)
2. The Solar System's orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy - 210 km/ second ( 470,000 MPH)
3. The Milky Way's movement towards the Andromeda Galaxy ~ 450 km/ second (1 million MPH)
4. The Local Group of Galaxies (which includes both the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies) in the direction of the Constellation Virgo (towards an Unknown attractor) ~ 600 km/ second (1.3 million MPH)

Describe three ways that sediment moves in a river?
Sediment moves through a river by these three ways: bouncing, flying, and being suspended.
What are the three ways that wind erosion moves sediments?
Water, wind, and ice.
How can you prove the earth is not flat?
There are many ways, but the most solid is the many images of Earth taken from space.
What are three ways weathering can affect the earth?
percipitation erosion volcanoes
What are three ways energy is transferred from earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Conduction, convection and radiation.
What are three different ways that the earth moves?
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
Which two ways does the earth move at the same time?
Actually three ways: on its axis, around the sun, and through space.
What are three ways which energy can be transferred from place to place?
That's easy. The three ways are radiation, convection, and conduction. Radiation heat is transfered by moving through space, convection heat is transfered by movement in general, and conduction is through direct contact. Imagine a ball being passed around. The ball moves through space (radiation), and hits the earth. The earth is heated up, and it touches the air (convection). Since warm air rises, it moves up through the atmosphere to the top, where it cools down and touches the earth again.

Sediment moves through a river by these three ways: bouncing, flying, and being suspended.
What are three ways the water moves?
The three ways the ocean moves in are currents, tides, and waves. I figured this out while I was doing homework. Maybe it does help you learn. :)
What are the three ways thermal energy moves?
ConductionConvectionRadiation
How many the earth has motions?
It moves two ways if that what you are asking.
What are two major ways earth moves in space?
1) Rotation around its axis 2) Orbit around the Sun 3) Orbit around the center of the Milky Way
What are the three ways that heat can move from one substance to another?
Heat moves in three ways: Radiation, conduction, and convection.
What are Three ways in which geographers perceive earth?
Three ways geographers perceive earth are; Local Level, Regional Level, and Global Level.
Three ways stuff moves in and out of cells?
diffusion, osmosis, active transport
What are three ways that wind erosion moves sediment?
Water, wind, and ice.
