Mars is the celestial body most like Earth that humans may inhabit one day. It has a similar day length, seasons, and potential for liquid water, making it a primary focus for future human exploration and potentially colonization. Efforts are currently underway to study and prepare for potential human missions to Mars in the future.
The gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². This means that objects on Earth experience a gravitational force that pulls them towards the center of the planet. This force is what keeps us and everything else on the planet grounded.
It orbits around the sun like every other body.
This astronomical event is called a transit. It occurs when a smaller celestial body, such as a planet, passes in front of a larger one, like a star, as observed from a different vantage point, such as Earth. Transits are interesting phenomena that provide valuable information for astronomical research and can also be observed from Earth.
Earth is a planet, like Venus or Mars. Earth is special to us, because we live here, and without considerable technology, we can't live anywhere else (that we know of - yet).
We observe celestial objects from the Earth. Since Earth rotates around the sun we see the celestial objects moving too. So basically due to the rotation of the Earth, celestial objects always seems to move from East to West.Hope that helped Of-course that must have helped, -Hailey xD LOL
the moon is a celestial body. that orbits the earth. though it does not have its own barycenter.
No, the moon is not flat. It is a three-dimensional celestial body that orbits Earth. Its spherical shape is a result of its gravitational pull, much like other celestial objects in space.

The orbit of a celestial body refers to its path around another object, like a planet around a star. Rotation, on the other hand, is the spinning of the celestial body around its own axis. In simple terms, orbit is like the celestial body moving in a circle around something else, while rotation is like the celestial body spinning around like a top.
To use a sextant at sea, you measure the angle between a celestial body (like the sun or a star) and the horizon. By comparing this angle with the known position of the celestial body at a specific time, you can calculate your position on the Earth's surface. This method is known as celestial navigation and has been used by sailors for centuries to determine their location on the open sea.
Breakaway velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body, like a planet or moon, and travel into space without falling back. It is calculated based on the body's mass and radius, and varies depending on the specific conditions of the object and the celestial body.

No, atmosphere is a noun. Atmospheric is an adjective.
The moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet. It has phases due to its position in relation to the sun and Earth, and has a significant impact on Earth's tides. It is also the only celestial body beyond Earth that humans have physically visited.
Sure, astronauts use compasses frequently, but on the Earth ground, not in space. Compasses only work in two dimensions on a surface like Earth's, where there is a significant body of iron in the celestial body's core. Then only if the core is magnetiized, which it would most likely be, due to the spin of the celestial body. Astronauts in space are in 3 dimensions, and in space there is no iron core to be magnetized. Compasses are useless in space, assuming they are far enough away from Earth to not pick up Earth's magnetic flux lines.
