Did the Chilean Earthquake knock the Earth off it's axis?
Yes, it moved 2 inches. Days are now 4.88 millionth of a second shorter.
Does it take the earth 400 days to orbit the sun?
First off, the Earth orbits the sun. Second off, no. The time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun is a year. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
What does moons do?
The moon helps the Earth's axis stay constant, gives us most of the tides and seasons.give off dark light
Which type of bond overlaps the bond axis and which overlaps off the bond axis?
experimentally that the lenght and strenght of the bond between the oxygens suggests a double bond. The valence bond theory views multiple bonds as overlaps between orbitals that lie off the bond axis on top of an overlap on the bond axis. The overlap on the bond axis is sigma bond. The overlaps off the bons axis is pi bonds
What is earths year long elliptical orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is elliptical and it takes a year to get round the ellipse once. The ellipse is almost a circle - the minor axis is only 0.014% smaller than the major axis. The Sun is off-centre by 2.5 million kilometres and the Earth is closest in January (147.1 million km) and furthest in July (152.1 million km), when it is at either end of the major axis of the ellipse.

Has the Earth ever been off its axis?
No.
Can humans survive on earth without the moon?
No, because the moon has something to do with the gravity and pull to the sun, it keeps earth in line, and if the earth moved one single degree off its axis or closer or fartehr from the sun, we ould freeze, or burn up, or fall off the face of the earth!
How many degrees off axis is the earth tilted?
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees
Is it possible for earth to spin off its axis?
no it is not. the earth is straight up and down. so is the sun.
What would happen if the earth spun off it's axis?
Everyone would die.
What does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line?
first off it's not imaginary its an orbit another thing the earth spins on is it's axis
Does it take the earth 400 days to orbit the sun?
First off, the Earth orbits the sun. Second off, no. The time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun is a year. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
What is the reason your toy cars moved down the ramp?
This is the result of gravity, or the pull earth gives off.
What movie was Jan Michael Vincent in where the earth went off its axis?
Damnation Alley. It also starred George Peppard.
How does the Earth resist the heat from the sun?
Because the Earth rotates on its axis, any portion of the Earth experiences both night and day, and it heats up during the day and cools off at night.
What does moons do?
The moon helps the Earth's axis stay constant, gives us most of the tides and seasons.give off dark light
