It spins on it's axis, just like Earth; it wobbles a little because it is effected by the mass of the planets and it takes about 250 million years to travel round our galaxy which is constantly rotating.

Which planet rotates by retrograde motion?
All planets orbit the sun in the direction that the sun is rotating. There are actually two planets that rotate by retrograde motion and are exceptions to this rule. These planets are Venus and Uranus.
How many types of motion of earth?
The 4 Kinds of Motion are - Rotary - Spinning in a circle e.g. car wheel Linear - Going in a straight line e.g. bullet Oscillating - Going backwards and forwards in a curve e.g. a pirate ship ride at a theme park Reciprocating - Going backwards and forwards in a straight line e.g. a lift
How does energy from the sun cause earth air to move?
It doesn't. The earth would continue to move even if the sun stopped shining. Once something is in motion like the earth, it continues in motion unless something stops it
What units of time are based on earths motion relative to others celestial objects the year is best defined as earth motion relative to the?
Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.
What determine the revolution of the earth?
revolution of earth is because of the gravitational force exerted by sun. this force provides necessary centripetal force (cpf) for circular motion. now questin may come that why isn't earth pulled towards sun? this is because of two reasons 1. work done by cpf is zero 2. it is assumed that an equal and opposite force called as centrifugal force acts on earth which prevents it from getting pulled towards sun -------------------------------------- Quick correction: The reason the Earth isn't pulled towards the sun is not because there is another force. In fact, the centrifugal force is a fictitious force in a rotational (non-inertial and therefore not used) frame of reference and does not exist in an inertial fram of reference. For the real reason, consider this: -Objects in uniform motion want to stay in uniform motion. -Uniform motion is defined as a straight-line motion with a constant velocity. -Objects in uniform motion will change its motion (either speed or direction) only if there's an external force. -Therefore, the Earth will tend to move in a straight-line motion unless there's another force. In fact, if the sun suddenly disappears and when the gravitational force it exerts on Earth (the source of Earth's centripetal acceleration, ergo the identity of Earth's centripetal force) disappears after about 8 minutes, the Earth will shoot off in a tangent, moving in a straight line. -Therefore what the gravitational pull of the sun does is that it is just enough to bend the orbit of the Earth enough for it to be an ellipse while not allowing the Earth to gradually shoot off into space or crash into it. -If, as suggested above, another force completely balances out Earth's centripetal force (i.e. completely negates the gravitational force of the sun on Earth), the Earth's motion will no longer change and the Earth will shoot off into space with a straight-line motion.
What is the daily motion of the sun?
The sun has no motion because it is at the center of our solar system
What is earth annual motion around the sun?
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.
When the motion of earth around the sun it mostly affect the?
The motion of Earth around the Sun is the cause of the seasons.
What will happen to the motion of the earth if suddenly the gravitational field of the sun collapses?
The motion of the sun will stop because the sun will crush on the earth if the gravitational field of the sun collapses.
What is earth annual motion around the sun called?
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.
What s earth's annual motion around the sun?
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.
How did Copernicus describes the motion of the sun?
he said the sun is stationry
How did Copernicus describe the motion of the sun?
he said the sun is stationry
Is the motion of earth a uniform circular motion?
yes the motion of earth around the sun is uniform
What two planets that retrograde motion around the sun?
Mercury and Venus are the two planets that retrograde motion around the sun.
Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
In witch direction does the sun rises?
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This is, of course, apparent motion and not true motion.
