Where on the earth do you stand to be in the center of the earth's rotation?
Stand at the South Pole, and look down at the ground beneath your feet.
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
What would the speed of the earths rotation be if it was on the north or south pole?
If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.
Why does the North Pole only have one sunset?
Due to the tilt of the Earth. The North pole is pointing at the sun and is light or, as the Earth rotates around the sun and the South pole is pointing at sun, then the North pole is dark.
What is difference between prograde rotation and retrograde rotation?
Prograde rotation turns counter clockwise while retrograde rotation turns clockwise. ( As viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.)
When the north end of earths rotation axis is pointing toward the sun what statement is true?
It is June.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Earths rotation is described as?
The earth's rotation is described as a counter-clockwise movement which passes through the north and south poles. This is what will result to day and night.
How is the earths magnetic field used for navigation?
Compasses use the magnetic field to navigate always pointing North.
What happens to the compass needle when the current in the wire is switched?
It will return to pointing North.
What happens to the compass needle when the current in the wire is switched off?
It will return to pointing North.
What happens to the compass needle when current in the wire is switched off?
It will return to pointing North.
Where on the earth do you stand to be in the center of the earth's rotation?
Stand at the South Pole, and look down at the ground beneath your feet.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
What transformation could make an arrow pointing east become an arrow poiting north?
Rotation of 270 degrees clockwise or 90 degrees counter clockwise
What would the speed of the earths rotation be if it was on the north or south pole?
If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.
