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.


What is the weather term for How much of the sky is hidden by clouds?

The weather term for how much of the sky is hidden by clouds is cloud cover. This is usually expressed in terms of a percentage, such as "partly cloudy" or "mostly cloudy," to indicate the amount of the sky covered by clouds.


Does an object warped around a wire has more magnetism?

Yes, when an object is warped around a wire, it forms a solenoid which enhances the magnetic field produced by the current passing through the wire. This configuration increases the strength of the magnetic field compared to just a straight wire due to the concentration of magnetic field lines within the solenoid.


If you drop an object from the sky at what speed does it reach the earth?

When you drop an object it accelerates. The faster it goes the more the air resistance to its motion; this increases proportionally to the square of the speed. Eventually the air resistance becomes as much as the weight of the object. At this point the object stops accelerating. It has reached its terminal velocity. So, if you drop an object from a great height, it will hit the ground at its terminal velocity. What that is depends on the size, shape and mass of the object. For a human being terminal velocity is around 120 mph - almost always lethal. If you drop a mouse from a third floor window the mouse will usually just walk away. Drop a spider from the top of the empire state building and the spider will hardly notice the landing.

What is a path an object follows as it moves around another object?

The path an object follows as it moves around another object is called an orbit. Orbits are typically elliptical in shape and are governed by the gravitational forces between the two objects.

What is the curved path that an object follows as it revolves around another object?

The curved path that an object follows as it revolves around another object is called an orbit. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or parabolic depending on the gravitational forces acting on the objects involved.

What is an object that moves in an?

An object that moves in an elliptical path around another object could be a satellite orbiting a planet, such as a moon around Earth. The elliptical path follows the laws of gravity and allows the object to maintain a stable orbit.

The path is called an orbit.


What is it called to the closed path of one object in space around another object or to move in a such path?

That is called orbital motion. it is the closed path that one object in space follows around another object, typically due to the force of gravity.
