Property of earth which causes seasons?
The Earth's rotational axial tilt causes the seasons.
How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movement around the sun cause season?
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the northern hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is the earth doing to have 4 seasons?
The Earth has 4 seasons because of its axial tilt of 23 and a half degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, which causes the northern and southern hemispheres to alternately point partially toward and away from the sun.
Why do astronauts orbiting the earth experience weightlessness even though they are still within the earth's gravitational field?
When something is orbiting the Earth, it is actually falling toward the Earth. But because a space shuttle has such a great velocity (speed w/ direction) it misses hitting the Earth's surface. Image you throw a baseball. The baseball follows the path of a curve called a parabola, but the parabola is actually part of an eclipse (elongated circle). Now image if you threw the baseball so hard that when it fell toward the Earth, it actually missed the "edge" of the Earth following the path of the eclipse around the Earth. That baseball would then be launched into orbit. (Of course you would have to throw this baseball at a speed of 11 km/s).
How does the position of the Earth's axis affect the seasons?
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere, tilted away, experiences winter, and vice versa. As the Earth continues its orbit, this tilt causes the transition between the seasons.
What is the distance from earth before you start falling When an orbit is no longer an orbit?
There is none. Let's say you and the earth were the only 2 objects in our Universe. The two of you would immediately start falling toward EACH OTHER. Of course, with earth being a gigantatillion times bigger than you, all you would notice (if you had delicate instruments to measure your movement) is you falling toward earth. So there is no definite distance from earth before you start falling toward it. In reality, there are trillions of stars and gazillions of tons of space dust - you would fall toward them instead of toward earth, but there would STILL be a tiny tiny amount of falling toward earth.
The Moon is constantly falling toward the earth TrueFalse?
False. The Moon is not constantly falling toward the Earth. It is moving in a curved path around the Earth due to its inertia and the force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
When will an object falling toward earth accelerating?
at terminal velocity
The force that pulls falling toward earth is called?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object. The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the forces of gravity.
What are the physical causes of an earthquake?
falling houses earth cracks.
What is the force that causes objects to move toward the center of the earth?
Gravity is the force that causes objects to move toward the center of the earth. This force is proportional to the mass of the object and the mass of the earth, and it decreases with distance from the center of the earth.
When an object is falling toward earth what force is pushing up on the object?
When an object is falling toward Earth, the force pushing up on the object is gravity, which is pulling the object downward towards the Earth's center. There is no active force pushing the object up as it falls.
What is true about an object falling toward Earth?
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
Why are many human activities not sustainable?
Because the earth is falling apart and if things were sustainable things on earth wouldn't be slowly dieing
What causes a satellite to stay in orbit rather than falling towards earth?
Its forward motion. Please understand that something in orbit IS falling towards Earth.
