What direction relative to an observer on the earth's surface does the moon travel in its orbit?
In this case, there is 'true' motion, and there is 'apparent' motion. To an observer on earth, the moon 'appears' to rise in the east and set in the west, just like the sun. But in fact the moon travels from west to east in its orbit around the earth. From a perspective far about the earth and to the north, the moon travels counter-clockwise around the earth. It is the relatively rapid daily spin of the earth from west to east that causes the apparent motion. The moon takes a whole month to orbit earth; in that time 27+ days have gone by on earth.
What else can I help you with?
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is a fixed place on earths surface from which direction and location can be described?
A fixed place on Earth's surface used as a reference point to describe direction and location is known as a geographic coordinate system. This system uses latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint specific locations on the globe.
What is the name of earths surface layer?
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.
What is a boby of water which travels through a channel in the earths surface?
A river is a body of water that travels through a channel in the Earth's surface. It flows in one direction, usually towards the ocean, and plays a vital role in shaping the landscape and supporting diverse ecosystems.
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
Where on earths surface is the observer at location c located?
3
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, Earth's surface is always in motion due to tectonic plate movements, which cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountains and ocean basins. These movements are driven by the heat generated from Earth's core, leading to a dynamic and ever-changing surface.
At which location would an observer find the greatest force due to the earths gravity?
An observer would experience the greatest force due to Earth's gravity at its surface, which is closest to the center of the Earth and where the gravitational acceleration is strongest.
What are fixed places on earths surface from which direction and locations can be discribedd?
It would be the reference point. Hope this helps :)
Where is an object that is stationary relative to earths surface moving faster relative to space?
Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
Why are map projecters needed?
to draw the earths surface.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
