Where is the earths center of gravity and why it spin as it moves through space?

The earth's center of gravity is the center of the earth, or the center of the mass with the mass being the earth. The earth spins as it moves through space on account of sun's gravitational forces and because there is nothing in space to get in the way or stop the earth from rotating.


What does earth spin in?

Basically in empty space.


What experiments do astrounauts do in space?

Astronauts make Earth spin


How fast does earth spin around sun?

In its orbit around the Sun, the Earth moves at about 30 km/sec.


Why does the earth spin in space?

The Earth spins in space due to an action called angular momentum. The Sun is considered the fixed point of the Earth, which is why the Earth rotates around the Sun.


Why don't you spin out in space during rotation of the earth?

Earth's gravity keeps you drawn in toward the ground.


What might happen if the force between the sun and Earth ceased to exist?

The Earth would spin of into space. To see a show where the Moon did that-search Space 1999.


How does Venus travel through space?

The planet Venus travels through space in a counter-clockwise orbit around the Sun, which is the same as all of the other major planets. The unusual thing about Venus is that it does not spin (rotate) in the same manner as other planets. It spins extremely slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above) rather than counter-clockwise as would be expected. Scientists theorize that a collision with some planet-sized object early in its existence negated the normal spin of the planet.(*The planet Uranus is sometimes said to spin clockwise, but this is because it was knocked onto its side, and is angled by more than 90 degrees from its orbital plane. It is still spinning in the direction that it initially spun.)


When flying in a plane does the plane spin with the globe?

Yes. The atmosphere moves with the planet, and the plane will move with the atmosphere. The craft's own motion will move it through the air and across the globe, but the rotation of the earth still affects the craft.


How long would for example a glass ball continue to spin in space on a flat surface compared to on earth if you whirled it with the same force?

First of all, you would not even need the flat surface in space, since the ball has no reason to want to fall anywhere in space. Once you give a ball a spin in space, it continues to spin forever, or until something comes along and grabs it to make it stop. (This happens to be exactly what the Earth itself is doing.)


What the space spin in?

More space?


How does the moon move in space?

The Moon orbits around the Earth. Since the Earth also orbits around the Sun, and the Sun orbits around the Milky Way, and etc. and etc., the Moon's path in space is quite complex.answ2. The earth and the Moon are a coupled energy system that rotates. Coupled to each other by their force of gravity, and due to their individual motions, the energy of their motion exactly balances out the gravity force.A similar relationship exists between the Earth/Moon system and the Sun.The source of their rotations arises from the net spin these bodies had when they were assembled from space material.The early Earth had a gentle brush with a planet called Theia, about the size of Mars. Earth and the Moon reassembled themselves from the debris of this collision. The net spin is what we are left with.
