Why does the sun go down?

When the earth is spinning the sun stays in one direction. The earth is on its axis and that makes it on a tilt. So the sun would be hitting one direction and the other direction would be dark.


What is the direction of the acceleration vector of a person on spinning earth?

The acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion is towards the center.


What direction do the ocean currents move in the southern hemisphere?

The Coriolis effect holds that because the Earth is spinning, surfacewaters move in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in acounterclockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.


Does earth get wind becausethe earth spins round?

No. The energy for the wind comes from the solar energy. However, the spinning of the Earth can change the direction of winds. This is related to the Coriolis effect.

No it does not. Since the Earth is constantly spinning, and also rotating around the sun, the earth will point in all 360 degrees.


What name do astronamers give to the wobbling of the earth on its axis?

"Wobble" isn't a very precise term.The Earth has a small, short period "wobble" simply due to the fact that it isn't perfectly symmetrical and balanced.This also causes a small, longer period "wobble" due to the effect of the Moon's gravity on the (slightly asymmetric) Earth.And there are wobbles due to other (and to me unknown) causes.But I suspect what you're talking about is what's technically called precession, which has a special name because it's a very particular type of "wobble". The Earth precesses on its axis in a cycle lasting about 29,000 years. Because of this, Summer 15,000 years ago ... or 15,000 years from now... would have occurred in the northern hemisphere in December rather than June.


How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?

Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.


How does the spinning of earth affect the water?

The spinning of the Earth affects the Earth's water by creating currents and winds. The spinning of the earth is necessary to complete the water cycle and establish weather patterns.


Why do we fall off if earth stops spinning?

We don't. gravity is slightly more on a non-spinning earth.
