Where does a body have least weight in earth?
Center of earth.
How many hours does it take for the earth to make a complete rotation?
The Sun does not go around the Earth. The Earth goes around the Sun. it does this in about 365.25 days. The illusion that the Sun goes around the Earth is caused by the fact that the Earth rotates on its own axis every 24 hours, making it seem as if the Sun travels across the sky.
How many degrees will earth now rotate in a solar day?
You are a clever questioner, indeed. You have asked a subtle and interesting question. You probably know that there are at least two distinct answers to the question, because there are two different kinds of day. The sidereal day is the period during which earth rotates 360 degrees relative to the distant stars (not the sun). If you were far above the solar system looking down on earth from the north, you would see that earth rotates a full 360 degrees relative to the stars, but still has to rotate a little more to reach the starting point relative to the sun, because we orbit the sun, this complicates things a little bit. So in a sidereal day, the earth rotates exactly 360 degrees, but this day lasts only 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, roughly. The synodic day is the period during which earth rotates one time relative to the sun. This rotation will be slightly more than 360 degrees, because as explained above the earth has to rotate a little extra (beyond a full 360 degrees) in order to reach the starting point relative to the sun. This is the day as we typically experience it. So if you are asking about the earth's rotation during a synodic day, the rotation is closer to an average of 360.9856 degrees per day. Another way to look at this is to consider the earth's coordinate system. There are 360 degrees of longitude. It is possible to consider the earth's degrees of longitude as the basis of your measurement, so that you can say the earth rotates 360 degrees of longitude relative to the sun on average each day, even though the absolute rotation of the earth is closer to 360.9856 degrees on average.
Where is the air the least dense?
The farther away from the Earth's surface, the less dense the air will be. Of course, once you break out of the atmosphere, there will be no air around you.
What takes the least amount earth rotates once or earth revolves once?
the earth rotates
Why nightfall happen?
When the Earth rotates during the day, half of it will be pointing to the sun which creates morning. When it rotates away from the sun, it creates nightfall. This is why Japan is at least 12 hours behind from Montreal. When it's morning there, it's nightime here.
What month has the least birthdays in it?
At least twenty people are born around the Earth every day. so the least would be February.
What happens because the earth rotates?
As Earth rotates around the sun, our seasons change. This happens due to the Earth being tilted on its axis. When the Earth is on that side of the sun where its North pole is tilted toward the sun, the sun's rays fall more directly down on the Northern Hemisphere, and that hemisphere experiences summer. (At this same time, the sun's rays will be falling more obliquely on the Southern Hemisphere, and it will be experiencing winter.) Six months later, when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun, its North Pole will be tipped away from the sun, and the sun's rays will fall more obliquely on the Northern Hemisphere, thus causing winter there. (And, again, at this same time, the sun's rays will now be falling more directly down on the Southern Hemisphere, and it will be experiencing summer.) Interestingly -- at least for folks in the Northern Hemisphere -- we are actually slightly closer to the sun during our winter than we are in our summer. The above concerns the Earth's rotation around the sun. The Earth, of course, also rotates about its own axis. This causes our day and night: when your side of the planet is facing the sun, it's daytime. But as the planet rotates, your side turns away from the sun and then it's night. Luckily, it will keep on rotating and as your side turns toward the sun we get first the dawn and then another daytime.
How far is satellites from earth?
satellite should be at least 42000Kms from center of earth .As the radius of earth is around 6370Kms ,the height reduces to 35000Kms.
Why does the earth tilt when it revolves around the sun?
It basically maintains the direction of its axis, at least in the short term.
Is the earths crust even around the earth?
Earth's crust isn't really considered "around" the earth. It's one of the smaller parts with the least depth that's for sure, but it only covers the mantle. So generally speaking the Crust is part of the earth even the atmosphere can be considered part of the earth.
How long have urangutans been on Earth?
In their present form, or a least something like it, around the 4,000,000 yrs mark.
What is day and night due to?
the stellar mass was at least three times that of the Sun, a black hole
How long have Arabian horses been on earth?
The Arabian is one of the oldest man - made breeds on earth, it has been around since at least the 16th century BC.
Which object in the sky apparently moves the least in the course of time?
To be technical about it, you'd probably have to say that the moon appears to move least,although there isn't that much difference between the moon's motion compared to the motionof everything else in the sky.Everything we see appears to revolve around us every 24 hours, because the earth rotates US ...and the direction our eyes point ... every 24 hours.The moon revolves around the earth every 27.3 days, in the same direction that the earth rotates.So every time we "pass" the moon and rotate again to where it was, it has moved on, and we have torotate for roughly another 50 minutes in order to catch up with it.From our point of view on the earth: Everything else in the sky rotates around us in 24 hours,but the moon takes 50 minutes longer to rotate around us. So the moon appears to be theslowest moving object in the sky.
What is the state model?
continental fragments have migrated around the globe and then reassembled as a supercontinent at least three times in Earth history
