Does the earths rotation cause the sun to remain in orbit?
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
What is another name for earths tilt?
Earth's tilt is also known as its axial tilt. It refers to the angle at which the Earth's axis is tilted in relation to its orbit around the Sun.
What do we call the earths orbit?
The annual orbit of Earth around the sun is known as a year.
What is a planets movement?

How does UK get four different seasons?

What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Is the earths orbit around the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
Is the earths rotation a scientific fact?
it is. the orbit of the earth has been recorded by sattelites and other probes.
What are the earths two principal motions?
The two principal motions of Earth are rotation and revolution. Rotation refers to the spinning of Earth on its axis, which causes day and night. Revolution refers to Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days to complete.
What is earths motion around the sun in the path called?
Orbit
Are orbit and rotation the same?
No, orbit and rotation are not the same. Orbit is the path an object takes around another object in space, while rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis. For example, the Earth orbits around the Sun and rotates on its axis.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
Is the moons orbit around earth absolutely straight with respect to earths orbit around the sun?
no
What are the 2 movement of the earth?
1. Rotation (earth rotates on it's axis) 2. Orbit (earth orbit's arount the sun)
