The movement of the earth does not have an affect on time as such. Because the earths movements are not completely smooth and unchanging, it is necessary to alter our clocks, from time to time, to reflect these changes tiny though they are they accumulate.

How long does it take your moon to rotate on its axis?

It takes 27.32 of the time interval that we call our "day".


What you call a day on Earth is caused by?

A day on Earth is caused by the planet's rotation on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete. This rotation results in the cycle of daylight and darkness that we experience as the sun appears to rise and set each day.


Atoms in the body rotate on the same axis as the earth?

Yes, the atoms in the body rotate at the same rate on the same axis that the Earth rotates, giving us a direct connection with the place we call Earth.. Comment: I don't know if that's meant to be a joke. Obviously it's not true.


How frequently does the earth rotate around the sun?

The axis makes the Earth to rotate. P.S. The Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation on its axis. 2nd answer: More correctly, the Earth orbits the Sun once per year.


What do you call the imaginary line that the earth spins on?

What do we call the movement of an object around itself such as the movement of the earth around its own axis?

The movement of an object around its own axis is called rotation. On Earth, this rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full rotation.


How many days would it be on the sun as it would be on earth?

First, you have to define what you mean by a "day" on the sun.If you define it to mean the length of time it takes the sun to rotate once on its axis, thenyou're talking about anywhere between 25 - 36 earth days. Since the sun isn't solid, it doesn'thave to rotate all in one piece, and in fact different latitudes on the sun rotate at different rates.If you pick the number somewhere in the middle, and call it 30 earth days, then that's your answer.30 days on earth is one 'day' on the sun.Please just leave it there, and don't ask "How long is a night on the sun ?" .

How many times does the mmon rotate on its axis in one lunar cycle?

That depends on what you call a "lunar cycle". -- If you mean the time it takes for the moon to return to the same place on the map of the stars, that's 27.32 days and exactly one (1.000) axial rotation of the moon. -- If you mean the time it takes for the moon to display a complete cycle of phases in the sky, that's 29.531 days, or 1.081 rotations.


How many times does the earth rotate the sun a year?

The Earth rotates (spins) roughly 365.25 times during the time it takes to complete one orbital revolution around the sun. That longer period is the one we call "year".
