The Earth is constantly moving in several ways. It rotates on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole) and it orbits around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.

How can you determine the direction in which a comet is moving?

You can determine the direction in which a comet is moving by observing its motion against the background stars over a period of time. If the comet appears to be moving eastward against the stars, it is moving in a westerly direction in relation to the Earth. If it appears to be moving westward, it is moving in an easterly direction from Earth's perspective.


What direction does the earth spinrotate?

You're moving east - that's the definition (in fact) of "east". [And at dawn (when standing) your head is pointed in the direction that the earth is moving around the sun.]


In which way does Earth orbit the sun?

Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical path, moving in a counterclockwise direction.


In which direction are nearby all galaxies moving relative to earth?

Nearly all galaxies are moving away from our galaxie and planet.


In which direction are nearly all galaxies moving relative to earth?

they are moving in all directions away, toward, sideways relative to EarthNearly all galaxies are moving away from the Earth. This is because the universe is expanding.


What does Moving relative to Earth mean?

Moving relative to Earth means that an object is changing its position in relation to Earth's surface. This movement can be in any direction and at various speeds, depending on the reference frame of Earth's rotation and revolution.


What direction does the earth go around his axis?

The Earth turns anticlockwise (counterclockwise in USA), moving from the West towards the East.


What type of shift in the spectrum would you expect from a star that was moving in the same direction as earth and at the same speed as earth?

If the star is moving in the same direction and at the same speed as Earth, there would be no Doppler shift in the spectrum observed from Earth. The star's light would not be blueshifted or redshifted relative to Earth, since the relative motion is negligible.


If you're on a moving car are you moving?

The best that can be said is that you are moving relative to the Earth's surface.


How do you use spectral lines to determine if a galaxy is moving towards earth or away from earth?

The spectral lines move towards one direction, or towards the other direction, depending on the relative speed.


In which direction do most constellations move.?

THE CONSTELLATIONS DON'T MOVE. THE EARTH DOES AND THAT IS WHY WE HUMANS THINK IT'S MOVING WHEN THEY ARE NOT.


If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?

That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
