What units of time are based on earths motion relative to others celestial objects the year is best defined as earth motion relative to the?
Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.
What direction does the moon rotate in?
Counterclockwise. All objects in space spin counterclockwise except Venus because it is was to believed to be hit by a large object that changed its spin.
Which sphere contains all the frozen water on earth?
cryosphere
All of the air around us makes up what earth sphere?
The atmosphere.
What is memory compaction?
As a memory pool is allocated from, over time the pool will become fragmented. Some objects from the pool will be allocated surrounded by objects that are not, in seemingly random order. Memory compaction is the process of moving allocated objects together, and leaving empty space together. Consider a system with 3 pages and about 50% of their objects are allocated. By compacting all the living objects into the first two pages, leaving the third page completely empty. This empty page can then be ignored during future mark/sweep phases since it is known to be empty of living objects, or it can be released and returned to the operating system.
What is meant by a celestial globe?
The Celestial Globe (or sphere) is an imaginary sphere around our planet, earth. All objects in the sky and space, such as satellites, can be thought inside this invisible sphere.
Is the imaginary sphere on which all objects in the sky seem to be located called the celestial sphere?

Where would the earth be located in a model of celestial sphere?
The celestial sphere has the Earth at the centre and all the objects in the sky situated on the sphere at infinite distance. Positions of the objects are described by two coordinates, which could be azimuth and elevation, or, in geocentric coordinates, declination and hour-angle.
What is the imaginary sphere on which all objects in the sky seem to be located?
The imaginary line around which the earth turns is its axis.

How do astronomers plot a star's exact position?
Astronomers know that there isn't really a "celestial sphere", a globe of crystal in which the stars are embedded. But it is often convenient to talk of a "sphere" around the Earth, in which all the stars and planets move. And sometimes it makes the math a whole lot easier. Navigators do all their calculations AS IF all the stars were stuck to a crystal sphere, and the Moon and planets wandered around inside it.
How is a planetarium similar to a celestial sphere?
The inside of a planetarium is a sphere with the stars and planets projected on to it. The celestial sphere is an infinite sphere that we imagine has the stars and planets on it. On the celestial sphere only an object's direction matters and its distance is ignored. A viewer at the centre of the planetarium sees stars and planets as they appear in the sky, but viewers in all the seats see approximately the right view.

What do you call all the space objects orbitting the Sun?
There is no scientific term for everything in space, other than "everything." As for objects orbiting a star, a satellite is an object orbiting a larger object. A moon is a planet's satellite, as a planet is often a star's satellite, and a star is often the satellite of a galactic core (often a black hole). A common term for objects orbiting the sun (designation Sol) is "Celestial Bodies" or "Heavenly Bodies." This is not, however, an accurate term, as space is not 'heaven,' or 'celestial,' and 'bodies' imply set and indivisible objects. Therefore, satellites is the best term for "All the space objects orbiting the sun."
