What else can I help you with?
Is the equator closer to the sun than any other point on Earth?
No, the equator is not closer to the sun than any other point on Earth. The distance between the Earth and the sun remains constant, so all points on Earth are at the same distance from the sun.
How long does it take the Earth toorbit the Sun?
The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to orbit around the Sun once, which is why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
Summer occurs on the hemisphere of earth that is?
Summer occurs on the hemisphere of earth that is tilted towards the sun.
What is the earth period rotation and revolution?
The Earth rotates on its axis once a day and revolves around the Sun once a year.
Why are there different seasons at different times of the year?
The seasons are different because of the tilt of the Earth and the rotation of it around the sun. Not every country has summer at the same time. While the northern hemisphere is having summer the southern hemisphere is having winter, and vice verse. This is because of the tilt of the planet on it's axis. While the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun they experience summer. With every degree of change in latitude the sun is farther or closer depending on the tilt of the axis which changes the length of sunlight that, that area receives. This in turn changes the temperature of the area. The more sunlight the higher the temperature. With every country being in a different place on the planet they receive varying amounts of sunlight causing temperature variations ,and shorter or longer days. As the months go by the tilt changes because of the rotation of the planet around the sun bringing the southern hemisphere closer to the sun and bringing summer to them. This slow change in the tilts relation to the sun is what changes the seasons. The closer to the equator you are the more sun you get all year long so the less the temperature change and the less of seasons you get.
Does the earth move closer to the sun every year?
Yes and no. The Earth does get closer to the Sun every year as it approaches perihelion, 147,098,290 km, around January 4th, but then it recedes as it approaches aphelion, 152,098,232 km, around July 4th.
Do planets orbit once a year?
Only the earth orbits the sun once a year. Mars orbits the sun once every 2 years. As you get closer to the sun the planets orbit the sun in less than a year. As you get past Mars, it takes even longer.
Is earth getting closer to sun last 50 years?
no
Is the earth getting closer to the sun because of the sun's gravity?
In fact, the Earth is moving away from the Sun at about 15cm per year. This is due to the Sun losing mass as it converts hydrogen into energy and because of tidal interference
What month of the year is the earth closer to the sun?
December
What is a good con for the sun?
well every year the sun pulls all planets closer an inch may not seam like much but earth has been here over 100billion year so you may think its a con
Why does a leap year occur every fourth year?
Because the time it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun is actually closer to 365.25 days than just 365 days. So every fourth year, we add an extra day.
What causes the planets that are closer to the sun move faster?
since it is closer to the sun it gets around the sun faster cause it has less of a rotation to go around Mercury only has 88 days in a year cause its closer but since were farther we have 365 days in a year
Why does the sun come out every day?
the rotation of earth brings the sun closer to earth making it rise
What do you think to a planet if its orbit brings it closer to the sun?
A planet that orbits closer to the sun would experience higher temperatures and potentially have a shorter year due to its faster orbital speed. It may also have a different composition and atmosphere compared to planets farther from the sun.
How long was Pluto in front of Neptune?
for a 20 earth year period. when Pluto gets closer to the sun than Neptune every 248 earth years.
Do earth and mars get closer every year?
They come closer together, then farther apart, and then closer, with a period of 26 months. The "closest" that Mars ever comes to Earth is about 38 million miles, and the farthest apart is about 240 million miles when we are on opposite sides of the Sun.
