How long is an earth orbit?

-- The earth itself is in orbit around the sun, at a distance that averages about 93 million miles. At this distance, it takes 365.23 days (rounded) to complete each orbital revolution. -- Objects can orbit the earth at any distance that keeps them outside the atmosphere. The time required to complete each orbital revolution depends on the size of the orbit. The International Space Station, at an orbital altitude of about 220 miles, takes 92 minutes for each revolution. TV satellites, at orbital altitudes of 22,236 miles, take exactly 1 day for each revolution ... that's why they don't appear to move at all in the sky. The Moon, at an orbital altitude of 238,000 miles, takes 27.3 days for each revolution.


How many times does Io revolve around Jupiter for each time Earth's moon revolves around Earth?

The orbital period of Io is listed as 1.769 earth days, while the revolution periodof earth's moon is 27.32 days.So Io makes (27.32 / 1.769) = 15.44 swings around Jupiter for each time theearth's moon revolves around earth.


Does moon look the same everywhere on earth on the same date?

Tides on Earth are caused by the fact that while the Moon is orbiting the Earth, the Earth is also orbiting the Moon. (Because the Earth is much larger than the moon, the Earth moves much less than the Moon does.) The Earth is relatively solid, but the oceans of the earth are liquid. The different orbital distances of the ocean on the moon-side of the Earth and the ocean on the far-side of the Earth mean that the oceans actually move in different orbits than the Earth itself does, but the water is moving at the orbital speed of the Earth itself. An object farther out from the center of the orbit will fall out away from the center, while an object inside the orbital distance falls toward the center of the orbit. This causes the liquid oceans to "bulge out" as each water molecule tries to follow its own path ir orbit around the Moon, toward the Moon on the inside and away from the moon on the far side. The same forces act between the Sun and the Earth, and the tides we see are a blend of the orbital motions of the water under the influence of the Moon and Sun's gravity. So to answer the question directly, tides are higher at New and Full moons when the Moon and Sun are more-or-less lined up and their orbital forces add up, and less at the quarters of the moon when the orbital forces are at cross-angles to each other.


List three facts about the Moon's gravity?

Moon gravity is 1/6 of the Earth, reason why the Moon only face Earth one side is due to both Earth and Moon gravity locking with each other and slow theMoon rotation to match the orbital period, despite low gravitational force it create tide pattern on Earth.


Does the Sun move in the sky from north to south each day?

The Sun does move from North to South in the sky (or the other way) just a little bit each day. This is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis combined with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun each day. So, in the winter the Sun is lower in the sky than in the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere that means the Sun is further South in the sky.

How wide is earths axis?

The Earth's axis is tiled 23.4 degrees. It tilts away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane which is why seasons are produced on Earth. The earth rotates on its axis 266.26 times each year.


How many electrons fill each orbital?

s-orbital = 2e- (s) orbital can hold 2 electrons, each with opposite spin. p-orbital = 6e- (p) orbital can hold 6 electrons in 3 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each d-orbital = 10e- (d) orbital can hold 10 electrons in 5 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each f-orbital = 14e- (f) orbital can hold 14 electrons in 7 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each
