Do things slow down as quickly in outer space as it does on Earth?

Usually not. To slow a moving object down, some force must act on the moving object. On Earth, this force is usually friction. In outer space, there is no significant amount of friction, so moving objects tend to continue moving, unless they are slowed down by OTHER forces, such as gravity.


Why does Earth need layers?

The Earth needs layers because the earth is cold, some parts of on on top of it have heat but the Earth is always cold because of cold Space. It needs heat inside.


Which has a higher frequency a star moving away from earth or towards earth?

I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.


Some of the oldest rocks ever found have been estimated to be about 3.5 billion years old. Is it likely that these rocks were present when Earth was first formed?

No, rock material is constantly recycled on Earth as rock is melted into magma.


If the tectonic plates are constantly movingwhy is the earth not getting bigger in diameter?

The Earth is not getting bigger in diameter because the movement of tectonic plates involves both the creation and destruction of crust. While some plates may be moving apart at mid-ocean ridges, where new crust is formed, other plates are colliding and subducting, leading to the recycling of crust back into the mantle. This balance between creation and destruction keeps the Earth's size relatively constant over geological time.

Are some of earths parts constantly moving?

Yes, the tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust are constantly moving at a very slow rate, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. Additionally, the oceans and atmosphere are in constant motion due to factors such as wind and ocean currents.


How does solor energy strike the earth unevenly?

Earth is a sphere and constantly rotating. Some parts of the sphere are rounded and therefore closer to the sun than others; also the tilt of the rotation axis puts some parts closer than others.


What are thingsthat are constantly moving?

Some things that are constantly moving include particles in the air, oceans and rivers, tectonic plates, and celestial bodies in space.


How fast are you moving when you seem to be sitting still?

This is almost impossible to answer. You are moving around the earth's axis as the planet spins; you are also moving with the earth around the sun; you are also moving with the sun - and the entire solar system - around the center of our galaxy; you are also moving with the entire galaxy around the center of our galaxy cluster. The entire cluster is also moving. So there is movement in all kinds of directions, and the direction and speed constantly change due to several circular movements. Another factor is - how can you tell if something in space is standing still or moving? What is the reference point? There is no ground against which you can measure your movement. Everything is constantly moving, so you have to measure speed in reference to some other moving body.

Are our continents moving back into the form of pangea?

No, the continents are not moving back into the form of Pangea. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is complex and constantly changing. While some continents are moving closer together due to plate tectonics, the formation of a new supercontinent similar to Pangea is not predicted in the near future.


Why do some people compare sand dunes to ocean waves?

They are constantly moving and act more like the ocean.


What causes to have years and seasons?

The earth is in a constant state of motion, that is the earth is always moving or travelling. The earth travels roud the sun, and when it completes it's journey around the sun, then we have completed one year. The earth also tilts towards the sun, so that some parts of the earth receive more sunlight than other parts, hence we experience spring, summer, autumn and winter
