Currently, the north end of the Earth's rotation axis points toward a point in the sky
that happens to be only about 1/3 of a degree from a relatively bright star. The result
is that the star seems to never move, and is called "The North Star".
The sun actually doesn't move. The earth is spinning on an axis and this rotation gives the impression of the sun moving across the sky. Its the earths spin that moves, in the northern hemisphere in an anticlockwise direction
because of the earths axis
Earth's magnetic axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 11 degrees from its geographic axis. This means that the magnetic north pole is not exactly aligned with the geographic north pole. The tilt causes compass needles to point slightly off from true north in certain locations.
Approximately 50% of Earth's surface is always lit (daytime) due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis around the sun.
Because Earths axis is tilted.
The axis is always aimed toward a point in the sky near Polaris :))
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
The Earth's rotation axis is always oriented in a north-south direction.
dogs usually align themselves with the north/south axis and how this is dogs have sensitive chemicals which allows them to sense the earths axis
yes it rotates on an axis and 'always' in the same direction.
Numbers to the right of the point of origin on the x-axis are always negative.
At what point does line represented by the equation 8x + 4y = -4 intersects the y-axis, and at what point in the negative direction of x-axis.
Because Earths axis is tilted.
Hi it points to da Sun. da
The direction of the "point" of Earth's axis of spin does not change (at least not noticeably on human time scales - there is a 25 thousand year precession). The orbit of the Earth round the Sun means that the north pole of this axis of spin is pointing towards the sun in Summer, away in Winter and sideways in Autumn and Spring.
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is what creates the earths seasons. The two hemispheres (north and south) are always on opposite seasons.
