Which way does earth point in space?

Earth is round and so doesn't "point" anywhere. Its axis of rotation currently points in the general direction of Polaris on one end and ... not really much of anywhere on the other end.

Is a point from earth to space a ray?

No, a point from Earth to space is not a ray because a ray extends infinitely in one direction. A point is a specific location in space with no dimensions, whereas a ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in the opposite direction.

No, it will be staying in orbit around the Earth. Depending on what they're studying, they may point it at the center of the Milky Way though.


Why does the earth spin in space?

The Earth spins in space due to an action called angular momentum. The Sun is considered the fixed point of the Earth, which is why the Earth rotates around the Sun.

If the space colonists travel at 6000 kmh how long will it take them to get to the Moon from Earth when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth Its nearest point to Earth?

The journey time depends on the route taken. Space colonists will not travel in a straight line from the earth to the moon: most space trips orbit the earth and use the earth's gravity to make use of the sling-shot action for acceleration. This saves on fuel and so the associated weight to be carried into space.

How high does a person have to be to so that the gravity of the earth and moon are equal?

A person would have to be located at a point in space called the L1 Lagrange point, which is approximately 56,000 kilometers (35,000 miles) above the surface of the Earth. At this point, the gravitational forces from the Earth and the Moon are equal, resulting in a state of equilibrium.
