Each year earth makes one around the sun?
Each year the Earth makes one Revolution around the sun. Each day the Earth makes one rotation on its axis.
Each year the earth makes what around the sun?
A rotation.
What are the two main motions of the earth and the reflected motion that each of them causes to appear?
Prof. Fields class?))The Earth is constantly in motion, revolving around the Sun and rotating on its axis. For reflected motion, steal Searching.
What is the force that makes the earth move?
If an object is moving initially, then no force is needed to keep it moving.The earth formed out of clouds of material that revolved around the young sun shortly after its birth.Since the earth was in motion as it formed, and there's nothing to stop it, it continues in motion.It's true that a force is required to CHANGE the speed or direction of an object's motion. The earth's directionof motion is constantly changing ... and it winds up traveling a path around the sun that's very nearly circular.The force that accomplishes that constant 'bending' of the earth's motion is the force of gravitation that drawsthe earth and sun toward each other.
Does the moon rotate on its axis twice each time it revolves around earth?
No. The moon rotates once for every orbit it makes around Earth.
How many rotations can the earth make as it completes a revolution around the sun?
During each complete revolution around the sun, the earth makes 365.24 rotations on its axis.
How did Claudius Ptolemaeus account for the retrograde motion of the planets?
Each planet moves on an epicycle that in turn moves on a deferent that circles around Earth.
What is the variation in moonrise each day?
The Moon rises (and sets) approximately 48 minutes later each day or night because the Moon is in constant motion around the Earth.
How many times does Io revolve around Jupiter for each time Earth's moon revolves around Earth?
The orbital period of Io is listed as 1.769 earth days, while the revolution periodof earth's moon is 27.32 days.So Io makes (27.32 / 1.769) = 15.44 swings around Jupiter for each time theearth's moon revolves around earth.
What controls the tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
Is the earth moves around the sun once each season?
No, the earth goes around the sun each year.
Why don't earth and moon bump as they turn around the sun?
Because of gravity. The moon is held in place in its orbit by the gravity of the Earth pulling it towards us. At the same time, the motion of the moon around the Earth is trying to fling it out into space. The two forces cancel each other out, and thus they simply 'float' in space. The same rules apply to the Earth revolving around the Sun.
