There are two different types of motions of the earth. Rotation is where the earth spins on its axis in a counter-clockwise direction. Revolution is the motion that causes the earth to revolve around the sun. It is also done in a counter-clockwise direction.

True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?

False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.


Is earth reteograde or prograde?

Earth is considered to be prograde, meaning it orbits the Sun in the same direction as the Sun's rotation. Retrograde motion typically refers to the apparent backward motion of planets when observed from Earth, but this does not apply to Earth itself.


How many types of motion of earth?

There are so many types of motion. 10 of them are periodic motion, rolling motion, projectile motion, simple harmonic motion, rotational motion, circular motion, curvilinear motion, Oscillation, Brownian motion, and rectilinear motion.


Why are Earth's continental plates continually in motion?

Earth's continental plates are in motion due to the movement of molten rock in the Earth's mantle. This movement, known as mantle convection, transfers heat and creates the forces that push and pull the plates in different directions, causing them to move across the surface of the Earth. The continuous motion of the plates is driven by the Earth's internal heat and the resulting convection currents in the mantle.

Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.
