The weird thing about the Sun's rotation - as compared to Earth's rotation - is precisely that it is a differential rotation. That means that at the equator, the Sun rotates faster than near the poles.

There is some recent evidence that the inner and outer cores of Earth do indeed spin at different rates and at different rates compared with the rest of the planet.

A Foucault pendulum provides evidence of Earth's?

rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.


If the direction of rotation of the Earth were reversed and the direction of revolution remained the same would the sidereal day be longer than the solar day?

Yes, if the rotation of the Earth were reversed, the sidereal day (based on the Earth's rotation in relation to distant stars) would be longer than the solar day (based on the Earth's position relative to the Sun), because the Earth would need to rotate slightly further to complete a full rotation in relation to the stars.


What branch of Earth science studies the position of Earth in the solar system?

Astronomy is the branch of Earth science that studies the position of Earth in the solar system. It involves observing and analyzing the relationships between Earth's orbit, rotation, and tilt in relation to other celestial bodies.

Does the outer core spin?

Yes, the outer core of the Earth does rotate, but not necessarily at the same rate as the rest of the planet. This differential rotation is thought to be one of the driving forces behind the Earth's magnetic field.

It is the spin of the earth around an axis running between the poles.


What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?

The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.


True or false the rotation of the earth effects what stars you see during the evening?

True. The rotation of the Earth causes different stars to become visible at night as it changes our perspective in relation to the stars. This effect is known as diurnal motion, where stars appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation.
