What else can I help you with?
Person sitting in an artificial satellite of the earth have?
A person in an artificial satellite around Earth would experience weightlessness due to the constant freefall towards Earth. They would also see the Earth rotating beneath them, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets in a single day. Additionally, they would be shielded from Earth's atmosphere and be able to see the curvature of the planet.
What planets can be seen in August sky?
According to science you may see mars at sunset and venus but it depends where the earth is rotating at. also you can or might see jupiter and see the storm
Why do some people feel it is inaccurate to say that the Sun rises and sets?
Some people feel it is inaccurate to say the Sun rises and sets because it implies that the Sun is moving around the Earth, when in reality, it is the Earth's rotation that causes this phenomenon. The Sun appears to rise and set due to the Earth's spin. Additionally, using phrases like "sunrise" and "sunset" are holdovers from a time when it was believed that the Earth was the center of the universe.
Why does the Moon appear to move from East to West in the night sky?
the moon apears to be moving because #1 the moon does revove around earth and #2 earth is rotating and revolving it doesnt APPEAR to move it does move... infact it orbits around earth that's why during day time you sometimes cant see the sun because its rotating!
When you look at the earth from above the North Pole does it appear to spin clockwise or counterclockwise?
Since you're standing on the Earth, you'll see exactly the same thing any timeyou look down between your feet or anywhere around you, no matter whereon Earth you're standing.If you want to see the Earth spinning, you have to look at something that'snot ON the Earth. Fortunately, there are a huge number of those availableto you, any time you can see the sun or other stars. Just watch any of those,and sure enough, you'll see them seem to spin around the sky, as you andthe Earth spin under it.
Does the moon rise like the sun?
Yes, since the moon is rotating around the earth, it is not always visible. If it is on the the other side of the earth, then a person could not see it. The difference is that the sun rises and sets because the earth is rotating on its axis, while the moon rises and sets because it is rotating around the earth.
How is 90degree north latitude different from 90 degree south latitude?
"90 degrees north latitude" is the definition of the Earth's north pole. If you're suspended over it looking down at it, then you see the Earth rotating counterclockwise around it. "90 degrees south latitude" is the definition of the Earth's south pole. If you're suspended over it looking down at it, then you see the Earth rotating clockwise around it. Note: In both cases, "down" means "toward the center of the Earth from where you are".
Why do stars seem to make a circle in the sky?
The stars, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere, appear to circle around Polaris, the North star. They seem to circle around the north pole because the Earth rotates, while the stars are still. As we spin around, stars move out of our view and new ones enter. When looking up to the North pole, it is possible to see stars appear to be slowly spinning around the North star. In the Southern Hemisphere there is no conveniently located star but the stars still seem to spin around a point in the sky. The Sun seems to circle the Earth but again, the Earth is rotating and the sun is still. It's actually Earth that is spinning.
Is there a place on earth that is one side day time and one side night time?
Yep. The earth is always rotating so if it is the middle of the earth, then you will see that there is.
Can you see the earth rotating on its axis from space?
Of course. You may have to wait a while but the rotation would be obvious.

Why do you seem to see the sun rotating around the earth?
Because the only points of reference we have when we look out is the earth and things on it within our view (such as mountains and distant trees etc.), and as we are also on the earth, these things don't move in relation to us as we look at the sun, so it 'must be' the Sun which moves. The same effect can be observed when you are on one of two trains which are stopped side by side - as one moves off, it can be difficult to tell which train is moving, because your points of reference have changed suddenly.
Why do we have a sunset?
The sun does not go down, the Earth spins around. You were at a spot where the Earth turned to the point that you can't see the sun anymore. However, every morning, the Earth finishes its rotation, letting you see the sun again.
Does the moon always presents the same side to the Earth but someone on the moon could see the earth revolving once in every?
Yes. The moon only revolves without rotating while the Earth revolves and rotates... Moon moves around the Earth, but not on its own axis. Earth spins on its axis and moves around the sun. Since they go at different speeds, someone on the moon would essentially be able to see all of the Earth (if they were up there long enough).
Why does the same side of the moon always face the earthy?
The Moon always faces the same side because its gravity with Earth makes it pull around us. When you see half of the Moon its because of the way Earth is rotating or how the Moon is positioned.
Do we always see the same side of the Moon How do you know?
We do not always see the same side of the moon, because while its orbiting the Earth, it is also rotating on its axis, as does Earth. The rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes night and day.
Why do you see the sun but not the other stars?
Day and night are caused by Earth rotating. At night the part of Earth you are on is facing away from the sun, so Earth itself blocks the sun from view.
