The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation.
when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles
What else can I help you with?
What direction does the International Space Station travel?
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
What is the earth's companion in space?
The Earth's companion in space is the Moon. It is the only natural satellite of the Earth and plays a crucial role in influencing ocean tides and stabilizing the Earth's rotation.
What does axis mean in space?
Orbit is a term meaning the rotation of an object on an axis, or the particular rotation something makes. The term orbit is used for describing the manner in which planets rotate on their axis, and more!
Why is a space shuttle always launched in the same direction of earths rotation?
Even while at rest on the Earth's surface, objects are actually moving due to the Earth's rotation. If a rocket launches East with Earth's rotation, it will get a free boost of extra velocity. At the equator (0 degrees latitude), an object rotates with the Earth at 1,035 miles per hour. As an object is moved closer to the poles, the speed of the spinning decreases. At the Kennedy Space Center (28.5 degrees N latitude) where the space shuttles are launched, objects rotate at about 911 miles per hour. If the space shuttles are launched eastward, they get a free 911 mph boost towards the 17,500 mph required to reach orbit. This means the shuttle can use less fuel and carry more payload. If a space shuttle launched westward, it would need to travel 911 mph faster to fight against the rotation of the Earth.
What is the rotation of the space station?
A year
What is mar's time of rotation?
The rotation 24.6 hours. This is the correct answer because the answer I have in some encyclopedia of space
What is the standard notation for a rotation?
The standard notation for a rotation in n-dimensional space is an nxn matrix.
Does the space shuttle launch affect the earth rotation?
No it does not.
Does the Earth's rotation affect a space shuttle launch?
Yes. It is harder for a Space Shuttle to break through the Earth's atmosphere when it's going against the rotation of Earth.
What object in space has a rotation period of 27 days?
The Moon has a rotation of approximately 27 1/3 days.
What is one cycle that is caused by earth's movement in space?
Rotation
What term do space scientists use to describe the earth spinning one time on it's axis?
The term is called 'Rotation', or more commonly used, Earth's Rotation. :)
What are two major motions of earth as it travels through space?
The two major motions of Earth as it travels through space are rotation, which is its spinning on its axis causing day and night, and revolution, which is its orbit around the Sun causing the changing of seasons.
Why does earths rotation make launching rockets into space more complicated?
it doesnt.
What direction does the International Space Station travel?
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
Hoe does earth rotation affect your view of stars?
Earth blocks half of space from our view.
