Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.
What direction does the earth move?
On Earth, the direction is east to west.
What direction will the moon rise from in Pittsburgh tonight?
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
When the earth ocassionally reverses direction is called what motion?
The earth never reverses direction, nor does any other planet. The APPARENT reversal of direction of some other planets, as seen from earth, is called retrograde motion.
How will you describe the moon when it is in the general direction of the sun?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing the Earth.So, whatever direction you name, there is some place on the Moon from which the Earth appears in that direction, and if the observer doesn't move to a different place on the Moon, then the Earth doesn't move either. It's always in the same direction. The concept of "Earth rise" or "Earth set" does not apply on the Moon.(This video from Apollo 8 came as the spacecraft was circling the Moon in orbit.)Note that for about half of the Moon's surface (the far side), the Earth is never visible. During the full moon, very little of Earth is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from the Moon.
What direction the sun set over earth south or west?
west
Does the sun set in the east on Venus?
Yes. This is because it rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth.

What direction does the earth move?
On Earth, the direction is east to west.
Why does the sun set on the west side and is it a scientific law?
Because that is the direction the earth rotates. It is not so much a law as a natural phenomenon.
What are the earths movements?
the movement of the earth is from west to est. it means that where thus the sun srose and the opposite direction from where ti is set (sunset)...
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Can a person determine the direction of earth's rotation by the paths that stars take across the sky?
Yes, the stars rise in the east and set in the west, which means that the Earth rotates from west to east.
What direction will the moon rise from in Pittsburgh tonight?
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
The direction away from the center of the earth is?
any direction. you can go any direction to get out of the center of the earth, but the center is to hot for humans, so dont try it
Why it's important to have a set of direction to operate government?
It is very important to have a set direction to operate government in order to keep the government consistent with the will of the people. A set direction will guide the decisions of the decision-makers.
