Centripetal force combined with the sun's gravitational pull. Centripetal force tries to hurl Earth into space. The sun's gravitational pull tries to pull Earth into a fiery grave. The two forces work together to maintain a stable orbit.

When does the earth moves most rapidly around its orbit?

The earth moves most rapidly in its orbit around the sun at perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. That occurs some time during the first few days of January.


What is the significance of the angular momentum of Earth around the Sun in relation to its orbit and rotational motion?

The angular momentum of Earth around the Sun is important because it helps to maintain the stability of Earth's orbit and rotational motion. Angular momentum is a measure of how fast an object is spinning and how spread out its mass is. In the case of Earth, its angular momentum keeps it in a stable orbit around the Sun and helps to regulate its rotation, ensuring that it maintains a consistent speed and direction as it moves through space.


When Earth moves one complete orbit around the Sun it is called?

1 year.


What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?

This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
