How would you describe the orbit of the moon in relation to the orbit of the earth?
they are both elliptical orbits with the earth following along a deferent (large circle) and the moon along an epicycle (small circle). the moons rotation around its axis and its revolution around the earth are the same being 27 1/3 days which is why the same lunar hemisphere always faces the earth
What else can I help you with?
Where is the moon in relation to the Earth when there is a full moon?
Viewed from a point on the earth's orbit but very distant from earth,the lineup would look like this at the time of Full Moon:Sun . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Earth . . Moon
What if the moon was not in orbit of the earth?
If the moon was not in orbit around the Earth, the tilt of the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of the ecliptic would be unstable. As a result, seasons and climate would be unstable, and life as we know it on Earth would change or disappear.
What do you call the path of the earth takes as it revolves around the sun?
The path that Earth takes as it revolves around the sun is called its orbit.
Different if earth had an orbit like that of a comet?
our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun
Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?
The most likely factor that would cause a communications satellite orbiting Earth to return to Earth from its orbit would be atmospheric drag. As the satellite moves through the Earth's atmosphere, it experiences friction with air molecules which can slow it down and cause its orbit to decay, eventually leading to re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
How would you describe the orbit of the moon in reletion to the orbit of the earth?
counter clockwise lyonth.
What is the relation between the revolution of the earth around sun and the earth's mass?
There is no relation, any object with the same same distance as the Earth from the sun would complete one orbit in one year.

What position of the Earth in its orbit it is summertime in the northern hemisphere?
Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit. The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth points in the general direction of Orion.
How would you describe Neptune's orbit?
Neptune's orbit is more like Pluto's orbit, slightly tilted.
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
Describe the seasons you would have if the earth axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit?
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
How long would it take mercury to orbit the sun in earth years?
it would take 88 earth days to orbit the sun so it is 1/4 earth years.
Why does the earth have a moon?
If there is no moon orbiting the earth, then there would be no low/high tides and the tip of the earth on it's axis would be "out-of-whack." The earth might spin out of orbit, resulting in a catastrophy. Everything on the earth would die if the orbit of the earth had something wrong with it.
What if the moon was not in orbit of the earth?
If the moon was not in orbit around the Earth, the tilt of the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of the ecliptic would be unstable. As a result, seasons and climate would be unstable, and life as we know it on Earth would change or disappear.
What would happen if the earth's orbit suddenly became smaller?
The earth's water would evaporate.
What is the orbit time around the earth?
Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.
