Earth's relative motion in the solar system primarily involves its orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days to complete. Additionally, Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, leading to day and night. The planet also moves with the solar system as it travels through the Milky Way galaxy, orbiting the galactic center at an average speed of about 230 kilometers per second. This complex motion results in a dynamic relationship with other celestial bodies, influencing factors such as gravitational interactions and seasonal changes.

Is the earth a giant planet?

The Earth is a planet if that is what you are asking. It is a planet in our solar system. However compared to the the relative size of other planets in the solar system earth is quite an average size.


What do we mean when we say that motion is relative?

When considering how 'fast' something is moving on earth, you ignore the fact that the earth itself is rotating, that the earth is orbiting the sun, and that the solar system itself is moving through the universe. All you care about is the relative motion between the object, and the earth itself, or another object perhaps.


Which planet in the solar system has the largest satellite?

Jupiter. It has the largest moon in the solar system called Ganymede. The earth has the largest moon relative to its size though.


How far does Earth travel in three minutes?

It depends on your frame of reference. The earth travels around the sun, the sun travels around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, taking the earth and the rest of the Solar System with it. The Milky Way travels around the centre of the local cluster taking the sun and the Solar System along with it. And so on. So what do you measure motion relative to?


Which planet has the greatest mass relative to earth?

Jupiter has the greatest mass relative to Earth.


Which of the following is the best reference point to describe the motion of the planets in our solar system A a space ship in orbit about earth B the centre of the Milky Way C earth D the sun?

D. The sun. All planets in our solar system orbit the sun thus it is the best reference when describing the motion of the planets within that solar system.

What is the object that governs the motion of our solar system?

The object that governs the motion of our solar system is the Sun. Its immense gravitational pull keeps the planets, including Earth, in orbit around it. The Sun accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system, making its gravitational influence dominant. This gravitational interaction dictates the orbits and motions of celestial bodies within the solar system.


What is a geocentric solar system?

In the geocentric system, the Earth is considered to be the center of the solar system. The Moon, the planets, the Sun, and the stars all rotate around the Earth (which stays still), with uniform circular motion. They compose the heavens, which are considered to be ethereal and unchanging.


What kind of solar system is earth?
