What planet does not move on its axis?
Venus is the planet that has an extremely slow rotation on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. Interestingly, it rotates in the opposite direction to most planets in the solar system, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. As a result, a day on Venus (one full rotation) is longer than a year on Venus (one complete orbit around the Sun, which takes about 225 Earth days). While it does technically move on its axis, its unique rotation makes it stand out among the planets.
Why do the stars seem to move across the sky at a regular speed?
The apparent motion of stars across the sky is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different stars come into view while others disappear below the horizon. This creates the illusion of stars moving at a regular speed across the sky.
Does earth's rotation affect an aircraft's flying time?
This is a good question, one that I myself have pondered upon in the past. The spin of the Earth does not only affect solids objects. The atmosphere is also spinning at the same rate as the Earth. From this it follows that when we are flying in an airplane, we are moving forward relative to what's around us: the Earth and its atmosphere. This is the same reason why we're not perpetually flying sideways when attempting to stand still: inertia.
What does the earth spin on in an west to east direction?
If you could leave the Earth and stand somewhere above the North Pole then you would see the Earth rotating anticlockwise (counter clockwise). If you could stand above the solar system and look down onto the North Pole of the Earth and Sun, you would see the Earth orbiting the Sun anticlockwise (counter clockwise). Mind you, all the people in the Southern Hemisphere would not understand why you are standing above the North Pole, they would quite rightly, expect you to stand above the Southern Pole and rotation would be clockwise. I'm not sure what "rotate west to east" means. One can travel from West to East but not rotate West to East. Each point on the surface is heading in an easterly direction. The Sun appears to rise in the east, as you zoom underneath it.
Does earth moves from east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
How are you able to stand on earth if it is a sphere?
GRAVITY! (pulling you towards the Earths centre)
Which term would you use to describe the spinning of Earths on its axis?
Rotation or Rotating. If you stand at either the North Pole or the South Pole , you just twist/rotate on the spot. However, if you are at the Eqautor you are rotating at about 1,000 miles per hour. At latitudes 60N & 60 S your rotational speed is about 500 miles per hour.
Why does the sun seem to disappear at night?
Earth is rotating on its axis, completeing one rotation every day. At night, the rotation brings us so that we face away from the sun, which is blocked from view by the Earth we stand on.
If you were to stand in the exact center of a rotating disc you would only have what kind of speed?
You would have zero speed because the center of a rotating disc is the axis of rotation, so there is no linear motion at that point.
What challenges stand in the way of sending explorers to the center of the earth?
The center of the Earth is way too hot for any human being to survive. there are no materials that would withstand the heat either so nothing can transport humans into the center of the Earth.
How the plane moves with earth when the plane is above from the earth's surface?
An airplane moves with the earth's rotation because the whole atmosphere rotates with the earth. (That's why you don't feel a 1,000 mph wind in your face when you stand on the equator.)
When you stand on the ground you are demonstrating What force is that?
When you stand on the ground, you are demonstrating the force of gravity. Gravity is what pulls you towards the Earth's center, keeping you anchored to the ground.
Why doesn't the earth move when we stand on it?
It is moving. The earth and it's atmosphere are turning from west to east at about 1,100 miles an hour, 24/7 due to earth's rotation. We don't have any particular sensation of moving because of how big the earth is.
Where should you stand on the earth's surface to experience the least centripetal acceleration Explain?
As the earth bulges a bit at the equator, you should stand at the poles to experience the most centripetal acceleration. Looking at the formula for centripetal acceleration (Ac= v2/r), we see that as the distance from the centre of the body (r) increases, the acceleration decreases, therefore when the distance to the centre mass is smaller, as it is at the poles compared to at the equator, the acceleration is greatest.
Can scientist who want to put a satellite into a polar orbit take advantage of earths rotation to give the rocket a boost?
The closer to the equator one builds launch facilities, the lower the thrust required to boost a rocket into orbit. If you stand in the center of a merry-go-round, you feel much less centripetal force than you feel on the edge, when it is spinning at the same rate.
What is earths name mean?
the earths name is the underground what we stand on and is also a planet. hope this helps!
What is positive Gravity?
gravity is the earths pull on you. it is located in the center of the earth, and that is why we stand on the ground instead of floating upwards. you dont really feel it pulling on you but its there.
