What else can I help you with?
Is the earths tilt caused by erosion?
No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.
Are the earths spin axis and rotation axis the same thing?
Yes. When we're talking about the Earth, 'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.
What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
What planet is the same size as the earths moon?
Mercury is roughly the same size, but it is bigger than our Moon.
Does Makemake the dwarf planet have a prograde or retrograde rotation?
Makemake, the dwarf planet, has a prograde rotation. This means that it rotates on its axis in the same direction as it orbits the Sun, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. Its rotation period is approximately 22.5 hours.
What is by the rotation and revolution of the planet?
the earths rotation around the sun is 365 days . hope this helps (:
Are the earths rotation and revolution periods the same?
no they are not
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
What planet has a rotation period that is almost the same with its orbital period?
Mercury
Why doesnt the moon stay the same size or shape?
Because of the Earths rotation, Happy astronomy! :)
What is ment by the rotation of planet?
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
What is ment by the rotation of a planet?
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
Does each planet take the same amount of time to make on complete rotation?
no they do not
Why do the planet have day and night?
Because of the earths rotation we hagve 12 hours in darkness and 12 hours in light but that also depends on where you are on the globe
