Describe the seasons you would have if the earth axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit?
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
What is an imaginary surface that contains Earth's orbit?
That would be the "ecliptic plane".
What would the surface of the Earth eventually look like if the Earth's plates stopped moving?
the earth will stop moving around its orbit
How does the earth's position in relationship to the sun affect the weather and climate?
The earth's orbit around the sun is almost circular. The slight deviation from circularity plays no practical part in the climate. Weather and climate are to do with the tilt of the earth's axis, and it's orientation to the plane of the orbit - if the axis was perpendicular to the plane of the orbit there would be no seasons cycle. If the orbit were farther from the sun, it would be colder (eg Mars), or closer, it would be hotter (eg Venus), although in both those examples there are other factors contributing (eg atmospheric density).
Europe's little ice age of 1645 to 1716 is believed to have been the result of an elongation of Earth's orbit?
The Earth's orbit doesn't change enough to make ANY changes in climate likely. Orbit can be predicted accurately over thousands of years and has not changed. If orbit did change, it wouldn't change for only a year and then return to normal; it would change indefinitely.
Different if earth had an orbit like that of a comet?
our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun
When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?
This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.
What would happpen to a space vehicle in orbit around Earth if it sped up?
If its speed was greater than the pull of gravity - it would simply leave orbit and drift off into space.
How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?
That will happen if the satellite loses energy. This is usually caused by air resistance, if the satellite's orbit is too low.
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
If you fired a bullet and it never dropped would it orbit the earth and hit you?
In theory, yes. In practice, no. In theory, You could fire the bullet with such a great speed that it would orbit the Earth, even if it was only at a height of 1 meter from Earth's surface. In practice, however, their is air resistance. This would cause the bullet to lose speed, and eventually it would fall the the ground.
How long would it take mercury to orbit the sun in earth years?
it would take 88 earth days to orbit the sun so it is 1/4 earth years.
What would happen to the temperature of the earth if it's orbit of revolution was shorter?
If the Earth's orbit around the Sun were shorter, that would imply it would be closer to the Sun and thus be subject to increased incident solar radiation - per the inverse square rule. For example, half the distance would be four times the amount of sunlight. This would cause the average temperature on Earth's surface to increase.
Why does the earth have a moon?
If there is no moon orbiting the earth, then there would be no low/high tides and the tip of the earth on it's axis would be "out-of-whack." The earth might spin out of orbit, resulting in a catastrophy. Everything on the earth would die if the orbit of the earth had something wrong with it.
Does halleys comet cause catastrophies?
No. The only way a comet could cause a catastrophe would be if it collided with Earth. The orbit of Halley's Comet keeps it at a safe distance from us.
How would you describe the orbit of the moon in reletion to the orbit of the earth?
counter clockwise lyonth.
