What two questions can you ask your class about earth moon and sun?
How far away are they from each other and in relation to the Earth.&At what speed are they traveling through space.
What two blocks of earth make up a fault?
atoms and elements
Can a space shuttle land on mars?
No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.
What is space wave propagation Give two examples of communication system which use space wave mode?
In which radio waves travels in earth's troposphere from transmitting to receiving end is space way propogation Eg: television channels, VHF,UHF
What two crusts make up the Earth's crust?
Continental crust and Oceanic crust.
Which two motions does earth in space?
The two motions that Earth makes are rotations and revolutions.
What are the two major motions of Earth as it travels through space?
earth moves through space two major ways:rotation and revolution -jerrold robinson-
What two motions does the earth make in the space?
The Earth is in orbit round the Sun, but also the Sun is moving round the centre of our galaxy, and of course we follow along.
What are two major motions of earth as it travels through space?
Revolution and rotation
What two motions combined make the moon orbit Earth?
Velocity and gravity (movement around the Earth and the gravity of the Earth pulling on it).
Which two motions doses earth make in space?
I think the answer that is probably being looked for is:Spinning (rotating around its own axis)Orbiting (moving in an elliptical path around the sun)
What are the 2 motions of earth?
The two motions of Earth are ;- Daily (24 hours) axial rotation. Annual (1 year) orbital (revolution) about the Sun. NB There are several other known movements of the Earth. they are ;- The angle of the Earth's axis varies between 28 degrees to 21 degrees. Currently at 23 degrees. The Earth's orbit about the Sun is an ellipsoid, that is an ellips that doesn't quite close up with each orbit, but slightly overlaps. This elliptical movement varies between nearly circular to a narrow ellipse. The Earth speeds up an slows down through space, because the Sun lies at one of the foci of the ellipse , NOT the centre. As a consequence, when nearer the Sun we moive faster, and when further away we move slower. Because of the Moon , the Earth 'wobbles' in and out of its orbital track. Summing , we can say that the Earth 'dances' through space, with the Sun and Moon as partners.
What are Earths 2 motions?
There are two principle motions of the Earth. The earth rotates around on its axis. The earth is also known to revolve around the sun.
How many the earth has motions?
It moves two ways if that what you are asking.
What are earths 2 principal motions?
Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis.
What are the two main motions of the earth?
rotating and revolution
What are the two primary motions of earth?
rotate and revolve
