It starts when dust and gas start to coalesce within a nebula. As the material gathers closer together, it starts to spin due to increased gravitational forces, thus increased speed. This is called the Law of Angular Momentum. The star eventually becomes large enough to have its own significant gravitational pull. This causes other objects to become trapped by the star. If an object(s) big enough passes through, it will get caught. However, this object(s) would have its own gravitational force large enough in also inluence the star. This creates a central point in which the two bodies revolve around. This point is not necessarily the middle of the star.

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.


The earths rotation is direct cause of?

seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.


Do earths rotation on its axis cause eclipse?

No, Earth's rotation on its axis does not cause eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light. Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.


Does the rotation of the Earth cause the Sun to set?

Yes.The Sun apparently moves across the sky every day because of the Earth's rotation. It rises towards the East then later it sets towards the West.Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.


What is the cause of the 24 hour day on earth?

The 24-hour day on Earth is primarily caused by the planet's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight, creating day and night. This rotation period has been relatively consistent over time, leading to the establishment of a 24-hour day.
