The only thing the Earth orbits is the sun so the length of time it defines is 1 year. Hours, minutes and seconds were originally defined by the time it takes the Earth to spin on it's axis. One year can be expressed as hours, minutes and seconds but this time is gradually changing.

What is the unit for a measure of resistance to change of motion?
It is a Newton.
What is momuntum?
Momentum: A measure of the motion of a body equal to the product of its mass and velocity.
What does the height of the jagged lines on a seismogram indicated?
seismograms measure any motion so, they show exactly when and how the motion comes.by Brianna m. Chappelle
Why do scientist need a consistent accurate way to measure distance when they study motion?
because its easier for them to do that
What are sun synchronous satellites?
A sun-synchronous orbit is one that places a satellite over a given location at the same mean solar time on successive orbits. This is accomplished by tuning the orbital altitude and inclination. The object is to have the same solar illumination angle at each approach, with the same orbital motion (ascending, descending). This is useful for surface observations, as with weather or spy satellites.
Which term is defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substances?
temperature
What term is defined as the measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
temperature
Which term is defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance'?
temperature
What term is defined as a measure of the energy motion of particles in a substance?
temperature
What is a measure of motion defined as distance traveled per unit of time?
speed
What term is defined as a measure of the energy of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Temperature.
What units of time are based on earths motion relative to others celestial objects the year is best defined as earth motion relative to the?
Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.
What is a measure of motion defined as distance traveled per unit of time called?
Speed.
Were Kepler's laws used to plan the orbits of artificial satellites around the Earth?
Kepler defined the basic laws of orbital motion, and these naturally had to be calculated.
Does friction maintain orbital motion?
No, orbital motion has virtually no friction, and it is maintained by angular momentum. As Isaac Newton pointed out, an object in motion tends to remain in motion.
Which term defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
That sounds like the description of temperature.
Which term is defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Heat is a measure of the amount of energy due to the motion of the particles in a gas, liquid, or solid. Temperature is a measure of the average amount of heat energy in a given body.
