What explains the motion of the sun?

The Earth's rotation causes the Sun to rise in the east and set in the west every day.


Who said three laws of motion are true explained how the planets all circle the sun?

Isaac Newton proposed the three laws of motion and also developed the law of universal gravitation, which explains how the planets orbit the sun. This theory provided a unified explanation for both earthly and celestial motions.


Motion under the influence of gravitational pull only?

An object under the influence of gravitational pull will experience a constant acceleration directed towards the center of the gravitational field, following a curved path known as a projectile motion. The motion's speed changes continuously, increasing as the object falls towards the source of gravity. Examples include the motion of a ball thrown in the air or the orbit of a satellite around a planet.


How can planet retrograde motion be explained by the Earth-center hypothesis By the Sun-center hypothesis?

In the Geocentric Hypothesis (Earth-centered), retrograde motion can only be explained by describing the motion of planets as complex, curlicue paths. In the Heliocentric Hypothesis (Sun-centered), retrograde motion is described as changes in relative motion as the Earth overtakes a slower-moving planet in an outer orbit, or is overtaken by a faster-moving planet in an inner orbit. In the Heliocentric Hypothesis, all planets move in more-or-less circular orbits at more-or-less constant speeds, but planets closer to the Sun move faster. Thus, the Earth can overtake and pass each of the outer planets, making them appear to move "backward" (retrograde) for a time.


Who wrote the theory for the gravitational laws of planetary motion?

There are numerous theories of planetary motion. Ptolemaeus (earth in the centre), Copernicus (the sun in the centre, planets orbit around it), Kepler (planet orbits are ellipses) all wrote such theories.

Which of newton's law of motion is also called the law of inertia.It explains what?

Newton's first law of motion is called the law of inertia. It explains that changes in motion (acceleration) require an unbalanced force. It states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion remains in motion in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


What explains the motion of micro particles?

Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.


The first law of motion explains that forces are required to initiate motion for objects at?

rest, and that once an object is in motion, it will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This principle is often referred to as inertia.

How does newtons first law of motion explain the need for headrests?

Newton's first law of motion explains the need for head rests because when a car drives when being in a state of non-motion, the passengers in the car will continue to remain without motion. The force of movement will push the passengers back until they compensate for motion. Since the head is likely to get jerked back quickly during this time, it explains the need for headrests.
