How does the earth's rotation cause days?
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
Does the earth have a top and a bottom?
The Earth's top and bottom are defined by the North and South poles, respectively. The concept of top and bottom is based on human perception, as Earth is a sphere with no true top or bottom in space.
When does day and night happen?
Because the part of the Earth you are on is not facing the Sun at that time. The earth is continuously rotating, so at any time, part of the Earth is facing the Sun and part is facing away from it. The part facing it is getting lots of light, so it is day time and the part facing away gets less light, so you have darkness and it is night time.
What planet has most eccentric orbit and tipped at the greatest angle?
That would be Uranus, it is almost laying on its side, as it faces the Sun. Earth faces the sun standing almost straight up, with the north and south poles at the top and bottom. Uranus, however, has its south pole facing the Sun. Also, the planet rotates, or spins, from east to west which is the exact opposite of the way that Earth spins.
Does venus travel throught space faster than earth?
Earth spins faster than Venus.Here's a link for information:http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/venus_worldbook.html
How earth moves to cause day and night?
The Earth orbits the sun. While it orbits, the Earth spins on its axis. When the Earth spins, some part is always facing the sun, but some is not. This constant spinning creates day and night.
How do you know the earth rotates?
because spacecrafts can see that the earth spins from outer space :)
What happens every 24 hours in space?
the earth spins on it axis
How does the rotation of earth influence day and night?
As the earth spins one side is facing toward the sun and the other side is facing away from the sun which is night time
Why does the earth spin in space?
The Earth spins in space due to an action called angular momentum. The Sun is considered the fixed point of the Earth, which is why the Earth rotates around the Sun.
How does the earth's rotation cause days?
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
What is the efffect of rotation of the earth when facing the sun?
The illuminated patch on the earth's surface drifts westward relative to a fixed point on the earth as the earth spins eastward.
Does the earth orbit the sun to get day and night?
No, the rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes day and night. As the Earth spins, different parts of the planet are facing the sun, creating daytime and nighttime. The Earth's orbit around the sun determines the changing seasons.
What are some interesting facts about Earth?
Earth spins around nonstop like a merry-go-round in space.
You are interested to know the movement of the earth is it clockwise or anti-clockwise?
Its both. If you look at the north pole from space, the earth spins counter-clockwise. If you look at the south pole from space, it spins clockwise. If you look at the earth at the equator, It moves to the right, or west to east.
What does the earth spins on?
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
Why do you see the sun in daytime?
The earth spins around every 24hours one side is facing the Sun and the other to the stars.
