If one observes the Earth from an independent (inertial) reference frame, one would observe the following movements.
1. Earth rotates on its axis about once per day.
2. Every lunar month, the Earth-Moon
system rotates about its barycenter, the center of mass point on a line drawn between the center of Earth and the center of the moon. The point is approximately 1,710 km (1062 miles) below the surface of the Earth.
3. Earth wobbles, which is a way of saying there is "polar motion" and the north-south
axis of rotation changes in a sort of regular fashion. There are little wobbles (The Chandler Wobble) every 433 days and other wobbles over years and one grand wobble over 26,000 years. Wobbling is due to the mass distribution around Earth and is influenced by melting glaciers and earthquakes. This means the north geographic pole changes by a few meters a year. (This is not to be confused with changes in the magnetic poles which is measured in kilometers per year.)
4. Earth is in orbit around the Sun, a movement which takes a whole year.
5. The orbit of Earth around the Sun has a small wobbly character. The Earth's rotation about the Sun is not the same every year and is influenced by a number of factors, including the gravitational pull of other planets. The consequences, referred to as Milankovitch
cycles, are changes in the orbital eccentricity, obliquity, and precession of the Earth's orbit over time frames of perhaps a 100,000 years.
6. The Sun rotates around with the other stars as we swirl in the Milky Way galaxy which takes over a billion years to complete.
7. As the Solar system rotate around the Milky Way, it also undergoes an up and down motion rising above and then moving below the galactic plane. The full cycle takes 70-80 billion years.
Earth has two major movements known as rotation and revolution. Rotation is the movement that takes 24 hours to finish, the one responsible for having days and nights, while revolution is the motion that takes 365 to 365 1/4 days to finish. The third motion has relation to Earth's axis' not being fixed in space and the effect is its direction enforces a decreasing precession in a period of 26,000 years.
The three movements of earth are: Rotation, Translation, and Precession
The core, mantle and the crust. (There is an inner and outer core, and an inner and outer mantle.)
There are three terrestrial planets in the solar system orbiting the star Sol. The first terrestrial planet is Venus, the second planet. The second is Earth, which is densely populated. The third is Mars, which was most likely once populated, but has now become a dust bowl.
There is more water than land. Answer There is quite a bit more sea than land, and an approximate ratio would be 2/3 sea and 1/3 land.
No. Most planets have storms of one sort or another. One of the most famous storms is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. It's basically a hurricane that's about three times the size of Earth and has been going on for at least a few hundred years. Another example is Saturn, whose storms have the most powerful lightning strikes of any planet in the solar system.
maple tree leaves, iris, tulip and idont know lol love, Hannah :)
Pitch Yaw and Bank! -For Nathan
planet three
It is about three times larger than planet Earth.

Earth.
Jupiter
The planet that is two thirds under water is the Earth. The Earth is a water planet and two thirds of the surface is covered by water.
a planet
The answer is Earth. LOOK AROUND.
