No. The equator is a full circle all the way around the Earth ... about 24,900 miles (40,074 kilometers). The Prime Meridian is a semi-circle between the north and south poles ... about 12,409 miles (19,970 kilometers).
Well, last time I checked, the moon orbited the earth, not the sun. You might , however, argue, that it orbits the sun TOGETHER with earth, then it would take a year to make a full circle around it.
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
It's when the earth makes a full rotation around the sun.
This is because of the motion of the Earth, remembering that the Earth orbits around the Sun - so basically the "background" of stars behind the sun changes as the Earth's angle to the Sun goes a full circle. Meanwhile the Sun remains relatively still.
YES. A small circle is simply a circle around the earth that does not fly over the direct opposite place on earth that a plane took off from. A great circle goes full circumference of earth, where a small circle does not. Being a circle they both fly in a constant direction.
365 days
There are 360 degrees around a full circle
Because the earth blocks you from seeing the full circle. You can use a misting garden hose to make a rainbow, and you'll see it's a full circle.
It is called full moon.
nothing happens. it is the end of a day.
A full protractor is is a protractor that goes 360 degrees around.
the air change
A month is when the earth does one full rotation around the earth. A year is when the earth does one full revolution around the sun
The earth rotates itself and rotates around the sun. a full rotation around the sun is exactly a year. a full rotation of the earth itself is a day.
a day is one rotation of the earth on its own axis. so imagine a line through the middle of the earth, it is rotating on that. kind of like if you were standing in 1 spot and turning arounda year is one full rotation of the earth around the sun. the earth is spinning on its axis as it spins around the sun as well. imagine turning around and walking in a big circle.
it takes a year to circle the sun and 24 hours to make a full 360 degree rotation.
