What causes the climates on earth to stay about the same year after year?
because the earth orbits in the same pattern.
The revolution of the Earth's crust?
The earth's rotation is when it spins around its axis,while an earth's revolution is an complete circle around the sun which takes approximately 365 1/4 days which gives us a year
What is a measure of time defined by earths orbital motion?
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 motion of earth causes the cycle of tides that occurs each day?
The movement of the Earth around the Sun produces changes in both the duration and angle of the sunlight reaching any particular location. Because the Earth axis (the line around which it spins) is tilted with respect to the flat plane of its orbit, different latitudes will receive more solar energy in some parts of the year than others. This is not caused to any great extent by the changing distance between the Earth and the Sun (this only varies by about 3% during the year). The tilt causes one hemisphere to receive much more solar radiation (long days, more direct angle) during a part of the year, while the opposite hemisphere receives correspondingly less. During the spring and fall, there is not much difference. But from late December to late March, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Six months later, from late June to late September, it is summer in the northern and winter in the southern.
What year was Journey to the Center of the Earth made?
Journey to the center to the earth was made in the year 2008.
What is it called when a day is added to a year in order for our calendars to coordinate with the earth's orbit?
Leap year.
What causes one year?
A year is the amount of time that the earth takes to do one complete orbit of the sun. The earth is locked in to an orbit which is dependant on its speed of motion, its mass and its distance from the sun.
Which earth motion gives us one year?
the motion is called revolution
When the earth makes one revolution around the sun what happens?
Absolutely nothing. On Earth - humans add one year to their calendars but that is all.
Does the earth take one year to rotate or a revolutions?
We call the Earth's daily motion "rotation", and its period ... about 24 hours ... a "day". We call the Earth's annual motion "revolution", and its period ... about 365 days ... a "year".
Day and year as units of time based on motion of what?
the earth.
How does earth's motion relate to a day and a year?
it's rotation
What kind of motion takes about a year?
The Earth orbiting the Sun?
What is the Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.?
The Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.
What earth motion gives new year?
Years are the result of the Earth revolving around the sun, once per year.
What causes the unevening of the Earth?
The earth's tilt causes an uneven heating of the earth. The uneven heating due to the tilt causes the different seasons throughout the year.
What causes a day month and year?
Two revolutions and a rotation.
