How may the Earth's position in space be related to the cycle of extinctions on earth
this is called the absolute location
Astronomy
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
firstly earth is the third planet from the sun and that position is the most life supporting position in the solar system.Imagine if you lived in other planets you wouldn't be as comfortable as in earth.
Several pieces of evidence. For example, the parallax: the apparent position of a nearby star changes slightly, because of the change in Earth's position. That is, its position now will not be exactly the same as its position 6 months later, when Earth is on the other side of its orbit. This is used to calculate the distance of nearby stars.
a currently popular theory is that the moon came about when an asteroid collided with earth, ejecting what is now the moon into near-earth orbit.
Longitude and Latitude are generally what are used to describe your position on the earth. Longitude describes your East-West position relative to some point, and latitude describes your North-South position relative to the Equator. These were historically measured with astronomical observations, but are now most commonly determined by Global Positioning System instruments.
How may the Earth's position in space be related to the cycle of extinctions on earth
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
The earth's position has no affect on constellations' visibility. The position of the viewer on the surface of the earth will affect what constellations are visible.
this is called the absolute location
3rd
it depend on you position on earth
There is no way of knowing when or even if the Earth returns to the same absolute position, but if you mark Earth's position relative to the Sun's position, then it takes 365.25636 days, roughly equal to 365 1/4 days.
it is in one position
Third from the Sun.
