Oh, what a wonderful question! You see, the Earth goes around the sun in a big, beautiful circle. The sun stays still in the middle, shining its light and warmth on us all. It's like a dance between the Earth and the sun, each one playing their part in this magnificent cosmic Ballet.
What else can I help you with?
What did Kelper's three laws of planetary motion effectively eliminate?
It gave a strong proof of heliocentric saying earth revolves around the sun and not vice-versa.
What way does the earth tilt in December?
It depends on where you live. The earth always tilts on a 23.2 degree axis. For example, if you live in the USA, in December you're not facing the sun while Australia which is on the other side of the world has summer because they are facing the sun, and vice versa. The earth's tilt causes seasons
What was Copernicus' idea about the earth and the sun?
That the earth revolves around the sun, not that the sun revolves around the earth.
What earth does around the Sun?
Earth itself moves around the Sun.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
What did Kelper's three laws of planetary motion effectively eliminate?
It gave a strong proof of heliocentric saying earth revolves around the sun and not vice-versa.
How many km is the sun from earth?
The earth is an average of about 149,668,992 kilometers from the sun.
Why do shadows become big and small?
Shadows change size because as the the goes on the sun travels round the earth causing the sun to be closer or further away, the closer the sun is to the earth the bigger the Shadow, and vice versa. The Shadow will be at its biggest at around midday.
Why do you not notice that the earth is rotating?
Gravity.Correction:The Earth's rotation has nothing to do with gravity and vice versa. One notices the earth's rotation in the rising and setting of the moon, sun, planets and stars.
What causes the change from day to night and vice versa?
The change from day to night and vice versa is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. During the day, the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side experiences darkness, creating the cycle of day and night.
Why there is unequal length of the seasons?
The Earth's orbit around the sun isn't exactly an orbit that could be named circular. It is rather an elliptical, and therefore the orbit is more of an oval shape. When, in it's orbit, the earth is closer to the sun, the season will tend to go by faster. (Vice Versa).
What is summer solstic?
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. That is true for the northern hemisphere on Jun 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, their longest day of the year is on Dec 21. This is because the Earth is rotating around the sun at an angle. That is the axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the sun. In Jun, the north axis of the earth rotation is pointing toward the sun and vice versa in Dec.
What scientist determined that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa?
The scientist who determined that the Earth revolves around the Sun was Nicolaus Copernicus. In the 16th century, he proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, which placed the Sun at the center rather than the Earth. His ideas were later supported by the observations of astronomers like Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler, leading to a significant shift in our understanding of the cosmos.
How did scientist prove the moon revolved around the earth while revolving around the sun?
Galileo initially showed using phases of the planet venus that it orbited around the sun and not the earth, this supported a new model developed by Copernicus suggesting that the earth orbited the sun and not vice versa. It had always been assumed that the moon orbited the earth. Later with the invention of Newtonian physics, a more concise model of the solar system was developed using the laws of gravity explained that the much smaller earth would orbit around the much larger sun and that the smaller moon would orbit the larger earth.
Which hemispheres of the earth experience opposite seasons?
The Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere experience opposite seasons. For example, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the sun.
Why does the southern part of the earth have winter when the northern part has summer?
This is due to the tilt of the Earth and the equinoxes. During the northern summer months, the Earth's axis is tilted in a northward direction, toward the sun, and vice-versa for the southern hemisphere.
Why the seasons in the northern hemisphere different from the Southern Hemisphere?
This is caused by the difference in position of the earth's tilt to the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun (summer), the Southern Hemisphere is tilting away from it (winter) and vice-versa.
