What else can I help you with?
How does a solar eclipse happen because the earth rotating and spinning on its axis at a different time and NOT the same time as the moon so how can the moon pass between the sun and moon?
This question is quite difficult to explain but it is possible because the moon can some times orbit the earth really quickly. The last solar eclipse happened on August 1999
Why does mercury's days last almost two earth months?
because that's how slow it turns on its axis
If the axis of the earth was moved by 3 inches what would happen?
A shift of the Earth's axis by 3 inches would not have any noticeable effects on daily life or the Earth's overall climate. However, it could potentially affect navigation systems that rely on precise measurements of the Earth's axis.
Why does weather change during the year?
because the Earth is tilted and when it orbits, the Earth tilts in different directions causing parts of the world to be closer to the sun parts of the year, and further away from the sun other parts of the year... gosh i learnt this last year in year 7 -.-
If the earth stopped rotating on its axis would there be day and night?
Yes, each would last six months.
How long is the shelf life of a Twinkie?
Contrary to urban legend, Twinkies do not last forever. Their current shelf life is 45 days, which is longer than most baked goods.
Can there be a diurnal cycle if earth was not spinning?
That depends on what you're relating the spin to. If the Earth did not spin relative to space itself, there would be a diurnal cycle. However, each 'day' would last half a year, with the other half occupied by one night. If the Earth did rotate, but did not rotate relative to the Sun, we would be in much the same situation the Moon is in with us - one face always showing to the Sun, the other always hidden. In this scenario, we would have no diurnal cycle.
What does mercury last almost 59 earth 's day earth days?
One day on Mercury is equal to about 59 Earth days.
Why does a day in mercury last 59 earth days?
Because - Mercury takes that long to rotate once on its axis. Each of the planets in our solar system ratates at different speeds
How many earth days does a day on the moon last?
A day on the moon, known as a lunar day, lasts about 29.5 Earth days. This is because it takes that long for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Does earth spins on it's axis from east to west causing night and day?
Yes. Because Earth spins around the sun and rotates on its axis, different parts of the world face the sun at a different time, causing day and night. +++++++ Answer ++++++++++ Your question is about the earth's orbit causing night and day. The answer for that is NO. It's the earth's rotation that causes night and day. The earth's axis of rotation compare to the orbit is what causes the seasons.
Why does location change day length?
It's because the Earth's axis is tilted. If the axis were perpendicular to the orbit, daylight would last 12 hours every day, pretty well everywhere on Earth. Because the Earth's axis is tilted the amount of daylight depends on the latitude. Try to visualize the Earth rotating around its axis; when the north pole points away from the Sun, the Sun is always below the horizon from the point of view of somebody at the north pole. For somebody at the south pole, the Sun will always be above the horizon (at that time of the year). For locations in between, the days get longer and longer as you move - in this example - from the north pole towards the south pole.
