Which earth motion causes the apparent daily movement of the constellations?
The rotation of the earth around its axis.
What causes that the varying length of daylight through the year?
The Earth tilting on its axis as it orbits the Sun, causes the changing of the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres. This also alters the lengths of the darkness and daylight.
Why do the the patterns of the stars appear to shift westward slightly from night to night?
This shift in the constellation is due to two effects. #1 The Earth's axial (daily) rotation & #2 The Earth's orbital track about the Sun.
How does the movement of earth cause the apparent daily and annual movement of the sun and star?
The earth is on a constant rotation and coincides with patterns of other stars as well as the sun and moon. Movement is natural in our atmosphere and always occurs.
Is there a part of the earth that only gets daylight or darkness?
no
The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes?
Daylight and darkness.
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 causes the wind to move in the bands of the earth?
The atmosphere has wind patterns
Does atmosphere on earth rotate along with earth?
For the most part. But difference in movement between the two is what causes much of the weather patterns on the Earth.
Which earth motion causes the apparent daily movement of the constellations?
The rotation of the earth around its axis.
Do the combination of the movement of huge convection currents and the spinning of earth causes regional wind patterns?
yes
When a region of earth is experiencing darkness or nighttime it is because?
The rotation of the earth enables most part of the earth to experience darkness or nighttime. Earth’s rotation occurs from west to east, which is why the Sun always appears to be rising on the eastern horizon and setting on the western.
Is it true that the combination of the movement of huge convection currents and the spinning of earth causes regional wind patterns?
yes
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
Does the Earth's daily rotation causes the buildup of extreme temperatures is this true?
No. The bearings are well lubricated.
What causes the earth to have periods of light and darkness?
The rotation. When the earth rotates, sides of it don't see the sun. Which are like sunsets and sunrises. The earth is rotating which takes away light and gives light.
What causes the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle to have periods of 24 hours of light and 24 hours of darkness?
the tilt of the earth's axis
