If the moon rotates around the earth then how does the same side of the moon face the earth?
First understand that Just like the Earth, the Moon does spin on its axis. However the spin of the Moon is "tidally locked" with Earth so that as the Moon orbits the Earth about every 27 days, it also makes one very slow spin in the same direction every 27 days. This means that no matter when you see the Moon, it always shows the same side to the Earth.
Are Night and day on earth caused by the earth's revolution around the sun?
No, First understand that night is caused when a point on a planet rotates with the planet so that it is not pointing towards the sun (it rotates into the shadow of its planet). On Earth as the planet rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, a point on its surface will be in shadow for 12 hours at a time. Earth's orbit round the Sun causes the seasons. Note that if the earth did not rotate, the orbit of the Earth around the sun would indeed be responsible for night and day - but night would last half the year and day would be the other half of the year. If the earth were locked rotationally with the sun such that it always kept one face to the sun (This is more or less the situation with the earth and the moon), one side of the earth would always have day and the other always be in night.
Why are nights on venus longer than nights on Earth?
First understand that night is caused when a point on a planet rotates with the planet so that it is not pointing towards the sun (it rotates into the shadow of its planet). On Earth as the planet rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, a point on its surface will be in shadow for 12 hours at a time. Venus on the other hand rotates on its axis only once every 243 Earth days (and rotates in the opposite direction to Earth and all the rest of the planets). However it only takes Venus 224.65 Earth days to orbit the Sun (its rotation period is longer than its year!). Because of Venus's slow backwards rotation combined with the orbital period, the length of a Venusian day is significantly shorter than its rotational period. To an observer on the surface of Venus the time from one sunrise to the next would be 116.75 Earth days, so its night is 58.375 earth days long. Additionally, the Sun would appear to set in the east and rise in the west.
Who discovered that earth rotates in its axis?
The concept of Earth's rotation on its axis was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE, but it was the work of Copernicus in the 16th century that provided a more detailed heliocentric model of the solar system, suggesting that Earth rotates daily while orbiting the Sun. Later, Galileo Galilei's observations in the early 17th century, including the motion of celestial bodies, further supported this idea. Ultimately, the understanding of Earth's rotation became widely accepted through the contributions of these and other scientists.
Does the earth and moon rotate and revolve in the same number of days?
Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. The moon rotates once on its axis every 27 plus days. Earth revolves around the sun once every 365 plus days. The moon's revolution about the earth matches its rotation rate, such that it always presents the same face towards us. The reason behind this last bit of trivia is that the moon is lop sided. The slightly heavier side became tidally locked due to tidal friction with the earth, eons ago. Probably within the first few million years of its formation.
Name the person first discovered that the Earth is a sphere and that it rotates around its axis.?
The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras is credited with being the first person to suggest that the Earth is a sphere and that it rotates around its axis.
Who was the first European to believe that the Earth rotates around the Sun?
Nicholas Copernicus
What do we call the time when the Earth rotates and the first rays of sunlight fall on a particular place?
That time is called sunrise. It marks the beginning of the day when the sun's rays first appear over the horizon, illuminating the Earth as it rotates.
Who was first one explain that sun rotates around Earth?
i believe it was galelio but i am not sure
Who were some of the first scientists to believe the earth rotates?
pancho villa y Benito juarez
How do the clouds shield earth from the sun during rainy season since the earth rotates?
Well this is the misconception most of the people have. In the first place as far as rotation of earth is concerned, earth is no different from clouds. When you say earth rotates, it includes the atmosphere(the gaseous layer which surrounds it) as well. So as a whole earth along with the gaseous layer around it rotates, thus effectively there is no relative motion between earth and clouds due to the rotation of earth. Hope this has answered your question! --Naveen Gara
How did god get on earth in the first place?
God did not 'get' on earth. He is everlasting. He always was, always is, and always will be. There is no other way to describe it.
What is the the name of imiginary line on witch the earth rotates how many times does the earth rotate every 24 hours?
First of all to correct your spelling. 'Imiginary' should be 'IMAGINARY'. and 'Witch' should be 'which' There is no such word as 'imiginary' in the English language. 'Witch' is a 'female sorceress'. Please remember to correct your spelling in future. Two answer your question ; The imaginary line is the AXIS'. on the surface of the Earth it is the two poles (North and South Poles). The Earth rotates ONCE in every 24 hours.
Is the first musical broadcast a common noun?
"The" is used as an article, and "first" is an adjective used to describe musical broadcast. Musical broadcast would be the common noun.
What country on earth gets the sunlight first?
Since the sun only shines on one side of the Earth at a time, one half of the Earth is in darkness and the other half in sunlight. It is only as the sun rotates on it's axis that different areas of the Earth experience night and day. A country never gets sunlight "first", as the night and day around the Earth is constantly changing.
If the moon rotates around the earth then how does the same side of the moon face the earth?
