Why do the moon and earth spin?
The moon spins on its axis as it orbits the Earth because of the gravitational forces between the two bodies. The Earth spins on its axis because of its initial rotation and the conservation of angular momentum.
Which takes longer earth revolving around your sun or the moon revolving around earth How much time does each situation tak?
The Moon takes longer. The Earth spins once in 23 hours 56 minutes, while the Moon spins once in about 27 days.
When the eath spins on its axis what is it called?
Rotation. It takes 24 hours to rotate fully one time. The side facing the sun is in daylight, the side facing away is in night. An interesting fact is that in order for us to experience 365 days in a year, the Earth has to rotate 366 times as it revolves around the sun in that year.
How does night happen and why?
The earth continuously orbits around the sun and at the same time spins on its axis. Every time we go completely around the sun a year elapses. Every time the earth spins around on its axis once, a 24 hr. day elapses. (Think of it like the earth is a spinning top circling the sun.) Night happens when the place on the earth you are at turns away from the sun. Sunrises and sunsets occur as we turn away from the sun.
The time it takes the earth to revolve around the sun is called a what?
The time it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun is called a "year."
Why are there 365 in a year?
Because the Earth spins 3651/4 times in the time it takes to go all the way around the sun once.
When does the earth spin upon itself?
The Earth spins on its axis all the time. It never stops.
It it takes for the Earth to spin once for the moon to move around Earth once which movement represents a month?
Earth rotates (Spins) around its own axis in 24 hr Moon takes 29.5 days to complete one revolution around Earth A 'Month' is the time taken for Moon to complete a revolution around Earth
Why daytime and nigh time occurs in Earth?
because the earth is spinning and as it spins the sun appears to move.
Why when the earth spins you do not feel it?
i think this is so because the earth moves slowly. (the earth rotate and revolve at the same time.
If a compass spins twice around is the circumference doubled?
Yes! If It spins one time, then that is the circumference. Therefore if you spin it a second time, that doubles it!
Earth around the sun one time?
The earth travelling around the sun once is called a year.
