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.

∙ 8y agoEarth's rotation gives us day and night, and we use that day-night cycle to measure time. In terms of effects on time itself, there is a minute relativistic effect that causes time to progress slightly slower than it otherwise would. This effect is negligible except when calibrating very sensitive equipment.

What you call a day on Earth is caused by?
The earth's rotation on its axis. It takes 24 hours for the earth to fully rotate. This is not to be confused by the earth's revolution around the sun which is known as an earth year.
What do you call the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
It is called Axis
What do we call the movement of an object around itself such as the movement of the earth around its own axis?
It is called rotation.
Is there a imaginary pole going through the earth call the equator?
No- the equator is an imaginary line running around the circumference of the earth's centre. The earth's axis is an imaginary pole which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole
How many hours make a day on Venus?
This question is meaningless. An Earth day would be the same length no matter what planet you are on. An Earth day would be the equivalent of 0.004 Venus days and about the same number of Venus year (it takes a whole year for Venus to go round its orbit). A Venus day is 243 Earth days. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once. Astronomers call this a sidereal day. However there is also the solar day of 117 Earth days.

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".
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.
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.
What do you call the amount of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun?
One round trip around the sun is called a "YEAR".
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 ?" .
The time a planet takes to make a single trip around the sun is its?
The time it takes a planet to rotate (spin) on its own axis is called its day. Earth has a day of 24 hours. Jupiters is the smallest in the solar system at about 9 hours 55 minutes; Venus takes about 243 days to rotate once.
What do you call the imaginary line on wich the Earth rotates?
Its axis
What do you call the turning of the earth?
Rotation, on its own axis. ...Coriolis
What do you call the imaginary line that the earth spins on?
It is called Axis
What do you call the point at which the globe rotates?
A globe, such as the earth, rotates about its axis.
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".
