What is the imaginary line around the earth that makes it spin?
There is no such line. The imaginary line through its centre is the axis, which the Earth rotates around; the imaginary line an equal distance from the poles is the equator. Neither make it spin - that is caused by momentum from the planet's formation.
What celestial line is created by Earth's revolution around the sun?
Ecliptic
Around what does earth revolve?
The Earth revolves around its axis, an imaginary line running through the centre of the Earth from the North pole to the South pole. As an orbiting planet, its orbit takes it around the Sun once every year.
What is the imaginary sphere on which all objects in the sky seem to be located?
The imaginary line around which the earth turns is its axis.
The interantional space station orbits earth at an altitude of 240. What is the distance fro the space station to earths horizon to the nearest mile?
This is hard to go through without a drawing, but let's try it: Draw the earth as a circle, with a center. Indicate the ISS with a dot. Draw a line from the earth's center to the ISS. Draw a line from the ISS tangent to the earth's surface. Draw the radius from the earth's center to the ISS horizon (the tangent point). A corollary in geometry tells us that a radius is perpendicular to a tangent. This is very helpful ... we know we have a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the line from the center to the ISS; its length is (earth radius)+(ISS altitude) = 3,970+240 = 4,210 miles. One leg = earth radius = 3,970 miles Other leg = distance from ISS to the horizon = sqrt[ hypotenuse2 - leg2 ] = sqrt(42102-39702) = 1,401 miles (rounded)
How long would it take to reach the moon at 25000 miles per hour?
The average distance from the earth to the moon is approx 250000 miles. If you could travel to the moon at 25000 in a staright line, it would take 10 hours.
If you were to walk the earth how many miles have you walked?
The Circumference of the Earth is 24,900 miles. If it were possible to walk in a straight line all around the Earth. Which it is not.
What is the roman numeral for 25000?
An X with a line over it represents 10,000. A V with a line over it represents 5,000. Therefore, 25000 is: ___ XXV
The imaginary line around the middle of the earth?
the equator is the imaginary line around the earth.
What is the equatorial circumferance of earth?
The equatorial circumference of the earth is 24901.45 miles (40075.02 km).More Detail:The Earth is not a perfect sphere. Its shape is more of an oblate spheroid. As a consequence, a line of longitude wrapped around the Earth going through the north and south poles is about 24,859.73 miles, or 40,007.86 km long. That makes the Earth's circumference about 42 miles longer (about 67 km longer) measured around its middle than around its poles.
What is the name of the imaginary line that run around the center of earth?
The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.
What is the name of the imaginary line runs around the center of earth?
The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.
Imaginary line around which earth spins?
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
Is the equator an imaginary line around which the earth rotates?
The equator is an imaginary line which indicates where the middle of the earth is and it goes around.
How much distance you have to travel to go around the earth?
If you followed a straight line around the equator you would travel 40,075 Km (24,902 miles) to return to your starting point.
What is the imaginary line around which earth which the earth spins?
axis
What is the distance between the earth and Jupiter?
*390,682,810 miles. If the Earth and Jupiter are not in a line with the sun with the sun in the middle, however, this answer will be incorrect.
