The Earth spins on its axis all the time. It never stops.
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
Yes. It's useful because when it's free to spin, it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
No, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin.
Yes. It's useful because when it's free to spin, it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to spin once on its axis, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This synchronous rotation causes the same side of the Moon to always face Earth.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth spins on an axis.
Earth spins around its axis(or imaginary line from the north pole to the south pole) by gravity from earth itself and the surrounding planets.
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
The Sun doesn't spin, the earth is in constant rotation around the sun because of the force of gravity acting upon it.add actually the Sun does spin - about 25 days for a rotation at its equator. That is a speed of about 7000 km/h.(compared with the earth's equatorial speed of about 1500 km/h.)But as above, gravity is the controlling force.
The earth doesn't spin because of gravity, and gravity has not ceased to exist.
