What does a spinning top represent the revolution or rotation of the planets explain?
Darknova143
Rotation - when a celestial object revolves - it orbits, when it rotates, it's rotating on it's own axis.A spinning top is spinning centered on it's own axis, the axis itself often moves but rarely in a smooth orbit.

Why was it difficult for ancient astronomers to explain about the apparent retrograde motion?
If, as ancient astronomers thought, that our Earth was the center point of rotation for other planets, then it is difficult to explain why those planets would move in a direction opposite to their rotation. Ptolemy came up with a solution that worked, but it was a cumbersome one. Nicolae Copernicus was able to show that this retrograde motion could be explained easily if it were assumed that our Sun was the actual center of rotation of the planets.
What was Ptolemy trying to explain in his model by having the planets move on smaller circles that move on the bigger circles?
Ptolemy is trying to explain in his model that each circle represents 1 planet's rotation and it's a scale drawing of the distance apart from each one!

How do you explain the earths rotation?
My reason that the rotation of the earth is when The seasons are explained by the tilt of the Earths axis. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the north pole is pointed in the direction of the sun. the tilt of the Earth isn't what changes seasons, but the the Earth's revolution around the sun does. The Earth revolves around the sun so different parts of the Earth are more affected by the sun then other parts through out the year. The seasons are NOT determined by the distance of the Earth to the Sun. In fact, the Earth is closest to the Sun in the Northern hemisphere's Winter (January) sincerely happiness ok ok bye hope you like this if you do please call 862-956-2233
