It is due to gravity AND the earth turns slowly. The gravity has a force which makes you look like standing straight and if you're a Vietnamese, you'll be standing sideways because the "force" of gravity is doing its job.
The seasons are not caused by Earth's elliptical orbit but by the angled axis that the Earth rotates about. That being said, if Earth;s orbit were more elliptical by a significant amount, it would be logical to deduce that daytime temperatures (at least) would increase when the Earth is cloest to the Sun. -J The lengths of the seasons would be affected, since the earth (or any other body) travels faster as it gets closer to the sun. Currently, the earth is closest to the sun in early January and farthest in early July, which is why the northern hemisphere winter is about 89 days while the northern hemisphere summer is about 93½ days. -HW
a million times in one seconds ___________________ There are several distinctive earth movements and this is surely not a complete list. Earth rotates on its axis. Earth also wobbles on its axis, the way a top wobbles when you spin and release it. Earth orbits the sun. Earth's orbit is perturbed by the movements of other planets. Earth's elliptical orbit precesses very slowly (From the perspective of the distant stars, the ellipse of Earth's orbit actually rotates.) Earth and moon revolve around their common center of gravity, called their barycenter. Sometimes massive geological movements (like the quake that initiated the devastating tsunami of a few years ago) will actually change the earth's movement slightly. Earth is following the sun in the sun's vast orbit around the center of the Milky Way. Tidal forces between Earth and Moon are causing Earth's rotation to slow very slightly.
Earth is.
Our Sun, although with the amount of debris in Earth orbit...
When Voldemort first "killed" Harry and Harry appeared in Kings Cross, Harry was in a sort of limbo state while his body was unconscious and the rest of the world was still going on. After he decided to go back to consciousness and fight, he lay still on the ground instead of alerting Voldemort to the fact that he's still alive. Voldemort then asked Narcissa Malfoy to check his status and after slyly exchanging information that her son, Draco, was still alive, Narcissa lied to Voldemort and told him that Harry was dead.
An axis of rotation is the axis around which any body rotates, or the line joining the North Pole and the South Pole about which the planet Earth rotates on a daily basis.
The earth revolves around the sun, or more accurately, the bodies revolve around the common centre of gravity.
The Earth rotates once in 24 hours, or one day. (The precise time of a single complete rotation is actually 23 hours 56 minutes.) The Sun is not a solid body, but a ball of fusing plasma; the equatorial regions of the Sun rotate in about 26 days, while the polar regions take about 33 days.
Medial rotation is when a body part rotates towards the midline of the body, while internal rotation is when a body part rotates towards the center of the body. Both movements involve rotation, but medial rotation specifically refers to movement towards the midline, while internal rotation refers to movement towards the center of the body.
When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, all the points in the body move in circular paths around that axis.
The Earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis (once per day) and revolves around the sun every 365 and 1/4 days (a year). When it is said the the earth rotates, it is meant that the earth is spinning on its axis, which is what causes day and night. However, a revolution is the earth going once around the sun, which is what causes the change of seasons and year. .
An axis is an imaginary line about which a body rotates.
no, the moon has a synchronous rotation, which means that it rotates so that the same side is always facing earth also, the moon rotates and revolves at the same time every 27.3 days, while Earth revolves around the Sun yearly and rotates or spins on its axis every 24 hours, this causes day and night to occur.
No, a revolution is typically shorter than a rotation. A rotation is the movement around an axis, while a revolution is the movement around a central point or body. For example, the Earth rotates on its axis approximately every 24 hours, but it takes the Earth about 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun.
A straight line that a body rotates around is known as the axis of rotation. This line serves as the pivot point about which the body moves, allowing it to rotate in a circular motion. The axis can be internal, like the rotation of the Earth around its axis, or external, such as a spinning top rotating around a point on its surface. The orientation and position of the axis significantly influence the motion and stability of the rotating body.
The Sun does not rotate around the Earth, nor does the Earth rotate around the Sun. The Earth revolves around the Sun each year, and each body rotates about its own axis: once a day for the Earth, once in about 25 days for the Sun.
