Why do planets have different day lenghts?
Because not all planets rotate at the same rate that Earth does.
What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?
Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.
Cloudy nights can be warmer than clear nights because clouds trap heat -?
absorbed by Earth during daylight hours"
Why does the moon look different from week to week?
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth
What beliefs can be associated to day and nights?
The belief that the earth rotates on its axis.
Why do planets have different day lenghts?
Because not all planets rotate at the same rate that Earth does.
What are the effects of day and nights?
It is because the earth spins around.
Why does the moon appear differently from earth on different nights?
because of the different colour of the atmosphere in the day time
Why are there different day lenghts in different seasons?
in summer the earth is closer to the sun so it gets more daylight (sun). in winter the sun is further away from the sun so it gets less daylight.
Why do day lenghts change?
Because the axle that the Earth rotate around isn't exactly perpendicular to the sun. This tilt gives us seasons and changing day lengths.
Are days and nights on mars long or short?
They are around the same length as days on Earth.
Are days and nights formed at same time in different countries in the world if it is so why if not why?
yes,days and nights are formed at the same time in different countries in the world.this is because of the rotation of the earth about the sun
How do the rotation of the earth and the sun produces days and nights and years?
The rotation of the Earth produces days and nights, because different areas are illuminated at different times. The orbit of the Earth creates years because the period of rotation dictates how long it takes for all the seasons to pass by. The rotation rate of the Sun does not affect either the days or the years of Earth.
What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?
Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.
What are the effects of the movement earth around the sun?
the revolution of the earth along with the tilt in the earths axis causes: varying lenghts of day and night changing seasons if the earths axis were straightvand not tilted there would be no seasons,since every point on the earth would recieve the same amount of light each day of the year.nor would there have been any variation in the lenghts of day and night-they would lost 12 hours each.
If the moon drifted out of the solar system how different will a day on earth be?
Shorter nights, actually we prolly wouldn't be here at all...
What is different about day and night?
day and night are different lengths because of the axis which causes the seasons. As you know the earth is spinning. Because of this the imaginary axis when the earth is facing the sun it causes day and the other way around. In December 21st the longest day occurs in the southern hemisphere and the shortest in the northern. In July the longest day in the northern hemisphere occurs and vica versa. Because of the earths rotation around the sun and how the earth faces the sun for the longest periods in summer the day and nights are different lenghts.
