Its own rotation keeps pace with its orbit in such a way that only one "side" faces the Earth.


How do astronomers know when hale bopp will come back to earth?

Astronomers can predict the return of comets like Hale-Bopp by using mathematical models that trace the comet's orbit based on its previous trajectory and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. By studying the comet's orbit, scientists can estimate when Hale-Bopp will make its next appearance near Earth.

How do astronomers measure the distance to nearby stars?

Astronomers use a method called parallax to measure the distance to nearby stars. By observing how a star's position changes when viewed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun, astronomers can calculate the star's distance based on the angle of this apparent shift.


How far is the orbit for earth?

I assume you're asking how far Earth is from the Sun? It's about 150,000,000km or 93,000,000 miles.


Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on?

Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.


How do astronomers work out a month?

The month originally was the amount of time the moon took to orbit the earth. This has been modified many times over the years but is still an approximation.


What body in our solar system do you think is the the one focus of our moons orbit?

I assume you mean "the focus of the ellipse". That's the Earth, since the Moon revolves around Earth.
