The Earth rotates on its axis 360 degrees a day. Since the sun does not shine light around the whole Earth at once, or at different places at the same time (like Britain and Russia) we need time zones. The time zones specify the time of day for the particular region. For example the US crosses 6 time zones. From the earliest time zone, Eastern Standard Time (east coast) to the latest time zone, Alaskan Standard Time; is a difference of 5 hours. Since the US is over 4,000 miles long (Alaska to Maine) , the sun does not shine on the whole US at the same time due to rotation.

Why does the rotation of the earth require people to establish time?
Since the Earth rotates constantly and is exposed to the sun in different intervals and time periods, the world needs their own time zone to state when and where the sun rises and sets during the day.
Why does rotation of Earth require people to establish time zones?

A Foucault pendulum provides evidence of Earth's?
rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.
Will the earth ever rotate counter to its present direction?
It is highly unlikely for the Earth to change its rotation direction spontaneously. Any major change in the Earth's rotation would require a massive external force, such as a catastrophic event, which is not anticipated in the near future.
What causes the coriolis?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth.

What can earth's axis of rotation be used to establish?
earths patterns of nature
What do they mean by the Earth's rotation?
The rotation of the Earth is called as the spinning of the Earth in its axis.
What is the force that is responsible for rotation of earth around the sun?
Gravity!add. But Newton's laws require that energy must be conserved, and the Earth has a particular moment of rotation round the Sun. And indeed as above, this is a combination of the Sun's gravitational attraction, and the Earth's momentum, evenly balanced out.
What is another name for Earth Rotation?
Another name for Earth rotation is diurnal motion or daily rotation.
Is oil necessary to the earth's rotation?
No, oil has nothing to do with the earth's rotation.
What is the spinning of earth on its axis?
The spinning of Earth on its axis is known as its rotation. It takes approximately 24 hours for Earth to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night to occur.
Can a nuclear blast alter the earth's rotation?
Not anything of any size that we're capable of building now or in the foreseeable future. But give us time.And it's "nuclear", not "nucular".
Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
What the spinning of the earth on its axis?

The foucault pendulum provides evidence of earth?
It provides evidence of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
