What inner planet has a retograde rotation?
The planet Venus.
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
They both spin on an axis.
If a planet spins backwards it has what rotation?
Direct motion is the motion of planetary body in a direction similar to that of other bodies within its system, and is sometimes called prograde motion. Retrograde motionis motion in the opposite direction.
How is projectile motion related to satellite motion?
They both involve gravity calculations
What inner planet has a retograde rotation?
The planet Venus.
When planets move western and then return the normals motion?
It is called retograde motion which occurs round the time of opposition (outer planets only). Normally planets appear to move from west to east, in other words if they are in one position on a certain date, they will be east of that position 365 days later. The far-off planets Uranus and Neptune move only a little way along the ecliptic each year: 4.3 degrees for Uranus and 2.2 degrees for Neptune. However, when the planets are at opposition (exactly opposite the Sun, so they are south at midnight), they appear to be moving backwards (east to west) as the Earth overtakes them in their orbit. This is called retrograde motion, when they appear to move east to west from one night to the next. It happens for a few days around opposition for all the outer planets. The early orbital models of Ptolemy and Copernicus were able to predict retrograde motion correctly.
How does motion relates to the three laws of motion?
Motion is already involves in motion because the motion is motion
What are the some examples of motion?
Some examples of motion are-random motion,periodic motion,rotatory motion,circular motion and osclitory motion
What are types of motion?
Linear Motion, reciprocating motion, rotary motion, and oscillating motion
What are the types of translational motion?
circular motion linear motion random motion
What is simultaneous motion?
The motion in which translator motion and rotatory motion takes place simultaneously is called simultaneous motion
What are kinds of motion?
there are 4 kinds of motion. they are 1.linear motion 2.circular motion 3.pendulum motion 4.rotary motion
How many types of motion is there in cheerleading?
There is a right motion, a left motion, a up motion, a down motion, a back motion, and a forward motion. So that is a total of 6. Unless you count the flying motion thats 7.
What is the 3 kinds of motion?
there are 5 kinds of motion. they are 1.translatory motion 2.rotatory motion 3.transla- rotatory motion 4.periodic motion 5.vibratory motion
Is earth's motion is a circular motion?
No, the earth's motion is a periodic motion forming an ellipse.
How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
