Can you see earth spinning from space?

Sure, if you watch long enough. Note that a single rotation takes about a day.


Why do not you observe space quantization for a spinning top?

The spinning top does not show space quantization because the system of a spinning top is not quantized in the same way as fundamental particles like electrons. The motion of the top is dominated by classical mechanics, where continuous values of position and momentum are used to describe its behavior, rather than the discrete energy levels and quantization seen in quantum systems.


What special name is given to spinning stars that transmit radio waves?

Pulsars are spinning stars that emit radio waves in narrow beams. These beams are like lighthouses in space, rotating at precise intervals and creating a pulsing effect as they are detected by radio telescopes on Earth.


What sound does the earth make while spinning?

The Earth is rotating on its axis as a single body, spinning in a vacuum. The atmosphere is pulled along with the rotation, so there are not any things moving at different speeds to make any kind of noise. However, the fact that the Earth rotates is a major factor in the creation of weather, and there are many noises associated with that, which many animals can hear, including us.


Where does the earth stop?

No, the spin of the earth is slowing (due to tidal friction with the moon) and the moon is being pushed further away all the time but the earth will not stop spinning. Also the earth orbits the Sun and this will continue as well.

No, it has the speed of the spinning earth.


Why cant you see the earth spinning from space?

We can't feel the earth spinning, yet it is moving fast. The size of the earth is so big it doesn't look like it's spinning. Remember it takes around 24 hours to spin once.


The earth undergoes three main motions of space what are these?

The three major motions that the Earth undergos in space are Revolution(Orbit), Rotation, and Precession


How come the earth go round and round?

I'm secretly spinning it from space. Shhh. It is a secret.


Which word is used to describe the motion of the earth as it circles another object in space?

Orbit is the word used to describe the motion of the Earth as it circles another object in space.


What stops wind blowing from North to South Pole?

The curvature of the Earth is one barrier, and the spinning of the Earth through space is another.


How do i put magnitade in a scentence that is in space?

Scientists use the term magnitude to describe a star's brightness.


Why do people feel like they're standing still when the earth is spinning and hurtling through space?

Because you can't feel the Earth move.

Why is it necessary for scientists to use AU to measure distance in space?

It's more convenient for scientists. AU is the distance the earth is from the sun.
