The earth turns on its axis and this is called a?
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
What is Mercury's period of rotation and revolution?
Mercury's period of rotation, or the time it takes to complete one full rotation on its axis, is 58.6 Earth days. Its period of revolution, or the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury (rotation) is longer than one year on Mercury (revolution).
What are the similarities between rotation and revolution?
well the difference is rotation is around an axis in the center of a body. revolution is the movement of a body around an axis outside of the body ( earth is the body then the sun is the axis.
Who discovered the rotation and revolution?
The rotation and revolution of the Earth were not "discovered" by a single individual. The concepts have been understood for centuries through observations by astronomers and scientists. Rotation refers to the Earth's spinning on its axis, causing day and night, while revolution refers to the Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes about one year to complete.
What is the relationship between a planets movement and a planets rotation and revolution?
Each year, the planet moves one full rotation around the sun, a movement. Each day, the planet revolves once, that's why in the day there is light because you are facing the sun, but when the earth revolves some more it is facing away from the sun eliminating the sun's light.
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?
Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
What are the effects of revolution and rotation of the earth?
The effects are day, night and year.
How do rotation and revolution of earth affect the human?
These combined give us day and night, and seasons.
Why is rotation of earth is much longer than revolution of earth?
It's not. One rotation(day) is about 24 hours whereas one revolution(year) is about 365.25 days.
What planet has both a day rotation and year revolution in almost the same amount time?
Venus
What is the difference between period of revolution and rotation?
period rotation: 1 rotation of the earth(1 day) period revolution: 1 year around the sun
The earth turns on its axis and this is called a?
rotation is a day or one turn on an axis and a revolution is a year or one orbit around the sun
What is the period of revolution and rotation?
Rotation is a full day when the Earth for exapmle spins one way around Revolution is a full year when the Earth make it all the way around te sun
What is the Rotation period and Revolution?
Rotation is a full day when the Earth for exapmle spins one way around Revolution is a full year when the Earth make it all the way around te sun
What is the rotation and revolution of planet?
Depends on what planet you're talking about. Venus has a rotation of 243 Earth days in a day, and 225 Earth days in a year.
A day on is longer than the planet's year?
This statement is commonly used to describe the rotation and revolution of a planet. For example, Mercury's day (one rotation) is longer than its year (one revolution around the sun) due to its slow rotation and fast orbit.
Are day and night caused by earths revolution on its axis?
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts are either facing towards the sun (daytime) or away from it (nighttime), creating the cycle of day and night.
