The atmosphere is spinning with us.

_________________ If you don't feel wind, ever, you are not on earth. The atmosphere is spinning with the earth, but the spin of the earth does have some effect on the atmosphere. Remember that the estimate of 1000 miles per hour is for the region around the equator; the velocity reduces to zero as you approach the poles.

Why dont you have an eclipe of the moon every month?

eclipses are actually very rare and are basically a miracle they occure. since the earth is spinning around the sun and the moon is spinning around the earth at the same time its rare that they end up covering the light from the sun. simple terms...sun gives off tons of light towards earth, moon is spinning and so is earth, and the moon is REALLY far away, and somehow the moon manages to get stuck in the earths shadow and vice versa


How many kilometres is the moon away from the sun?

What is the distance of the earth-moon lagrange pointfrom the earth?

*** original answer *** i dont have a clue what you are talking about but the earth is far bigger than the moon ******************* *** correct answer *** There are actually 5 Lagrange points in any two body system. I assume you're referring to the L1 point. This is the point along the line between the Earth and Moon where the gravitational forces from each body equal each other. That point is roughly 345,000 km from the center of the Earth (the Earth's radius is ~6378 km). The total distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 384,000 km. *******************

It takes the earth one year to orbit the sun whilst spinning on its axis. I dont know why sorry. :( :(


How is the earth similar to and different from a spinning top?

Both the Earth and a spinning top spin on an axis, causing them to have a rotation. However, the Earth is much larger in size and has its own gravitational pull, while a spinning top is typically much smaller and is controlled by external forces like friction. Additionally, the Earth's rotation is constant and influenced by factors such as the Sun and Moon, while a spinning top's rotation is usually set in motion by a person or a machine.

How far is hell?

The distance to the center of the earth from the "ground" is about 3,950 miles to 3,963 miles. For the purpose of this discussion, if Hell is at the center of the earth, then it is approximately 3,956.50 miles. This is about the same distance you would travel if you took a plane from Florida to Alaska.


When did he invent the spinning wheel?

i dont know thats what im tring to find out.


Why dont you land in a different spot when you jump in the air since the earth is spinning so fast?

When you jump in the air, you already have the same momentum as the spot you jumped from because you and the earth are moving together. The Earth's rotation doesn't affect your jump because the atmosphere moves along with the Earth as well.
