Earth moves through space in two major ways rotation and revolution explain how this happens?

The earth rotates on its axis giving us day and night, it takes 24 hours for it to
complete a full rotation. While rotating on its axis, the earth revolves around the
sun giving us the seasons, this takes 3651/4 days for a complete revolution.
When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and the Southern
Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere
and winter in the southern one.

Does big dipper move through the night sky?
Yes because stars move so they would move through the night sky!!!! If you were to watch a constellation, it would appear to move through the sky but really the Earth's rotation and revolution about the Sun gives the appearance of the stars moving.
What is meant by the rotation of planets?
It means they spin. They turn in space, pivoting around an invisible axis that runs from pole to pole through each planet. Different planets spin at different speeds, and their spins are not perfectly aligned with their orbits (revolution) around the Sun. The spin or rotation of the Earth is what makes the Sun appear to move across the sky.
What does axis mean in space?
Orbit is a term meaning the rotation of an object on an axis, or the particular rotation something makes. The term orbit is used for describing the manner in which planets rotate on their axis, and more!
What keeps the Moon in rotation?
Bodies spin through momentum; nothing's stopping them from spinning so they keep on spinning. The moon have a complication, because it's orbiting the Earth they have become tidally locked; so the Moon's rotation period is that same as the time to orbit the Earth.
When the scientific revolution is began what date?
The scientific revolution began in Europe at the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the late 18th century. This is mostly associated with the 16th and 17th centuries.
What are two major motions of earth as it travels through space?
Revolution and rotation
Explain what happens when waves encounter a medium that they cannot travel through?
They reflect back.
What happens because of a planet's revolution?
In astronomical terms, revolution refers to a revolving around an axis outside the object, in this case the solar orbit of a planet - the completion of one period of which is called the planet's year. (Mostly because of axial tilt this also brings about the seasons.) By contrast, the rotation about an axis going through the object (spin) brings about the planet's day.
Explain what happens when a beam of light passes through a gold solution?
A part of this light is absorbed.
What effect does the earth revolution have?
The revolution around its axis (the one that goes through the North and south poles) causes day and night. The revolution around the Sun in its orbit (coupled to the fact that the axis of rotation is tilted 23.4°) causes seasons (winter,summer,spring,fall)
How does your topic Pablo Picasso a revolution in art relate to this years NHD theme?
The topic this year is Reform, React, Revolution. Picasso's revolution of art was cubism. You should explain the things he went through to make that and the people thathelped him.
What is a rotation of symmetry?
Sometimes called rotation symmetry, or symmetry of rotation. If you have an object that can be turned through a certain angle (like rotating a cube through 90o) and then it looks identical, then that object has a certain symmetry under rotation. If you can turn it through any angle, like a cylinder, then it has rotation (or rotational) symmetry.
Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?
When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution it scatters because of tyndall effect.
What a example of rotation?
A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point as for example if you turn around backwards that will be a rotation of 180 degrees.
Does big dipper move through the night sky?
Yes because stars move so they would move through the night sky!!!! If you were to watch a constellation, it would appear to move through the sky but really the Earth's rotation and revolution about the Sun gives the appearance of the stars moving.
What is the math term for a rotation?
A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point and it is called a transformation.
As electrons pass through a particular device magnets begin to rotate. This rotation is then used to power devices such as ceiling fans. This is a description of what happens in a(n) .?
Electric motor
