What causes the different seasons on the earth?
Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted. Earth's axis is always pointed in the same direction, so different parts of Earth get the Sun's direct rays throughout the year.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the sun orbit?
All but one planet in our solar-system spins clockwise, that is venus. All other spins counter-clockwise or cyclonically. The Sun also spins Cyclonically, so the Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun.
What word means the same as earth?
World, Globe, Planet
Why does earth have sesons?
The Earth's orbit does NOT affect the seasons..Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets.It is the tilt of Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit) that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
How much does the axis of the earth change from summer to winter?
The axis of the Earth points towards the star Polaris (or almost). It points in that direction during your entire lifetine (or almost) it takes 23000 years for the axis to make one giant precession around a circle. During all this time the angle the axis makes with the ecliptic (the plane in which the orbit of the Earth has around the Sun) remains about 23,5 degrees. And the seasons have cycled through their changes twenty-three thousand times.The axis does NOT remain fixed until the seasons are about to change then abruptly shift to a new position for the next season only to remain fixed at that position until a new abrupt change for the next season as the wording of your question implies.
What iner planet has same mass as earth?
Venus has almost the same mass as Earth.
What planet is almost the same size as Venus?
Earth.
What planet is twins with earth?
Venus because it is almost the same size as Earth.
What planet has almost the same density as earth?
it is mars it has water
What do you call the turning movement of the earth on its axis?
"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
What direction does the planet revolve around the sun?
The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
Which planet has a day almost the same length of time as earth?
mars
Which planet rotated on its axis in about the same amount of time that earth does?
Mars. Mars rotates once in about 1.026 Earth days.Mars.
What planet is called earth's twin?
Venus because they are almost the same size!
What planet has the greater amount of gravitational force mercury or earth?
it's almost the same ... but earth's is a little bit more
Which planet rotates in its axis in about the same time that earth does?
Mars. It's slightly longer at about 24 hours and 37 mins, but this period of rotation is very similar to Earth's.
What plane in our solar system is almost the same size as earth?
I assume you mean "planet". That would be Venus.
