What else can I help you with?
What D is the time it takes for the earth to spin around once?
360 Edit: There are a few ways of asking this. Once around the Sun? Once around its axis? From full Moon to full Moon? From noon to noon? Each has a different value. Assuming you mean one revolution around its axis then just about 23 hours, 56 minutes. 4.09 minutes.
What are things that spin?
Things that spin include tops, fidget spinners, carousels, washing machines, and fans. Spin can also refer to the rotation of planets, including Earth on its axis.
Why does earth spin counter clockwise?
Almost all of the material that formed the Solar system revolved around the Sun in one direction. This represents the conservation of angular momentum when the material contracted to form the Sun and its planetary disk. Since then, collisions and localized gravity have created exceptions to the general counter-clockwise rule (Venus spins slowly clockwise on its axis). The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis counter-clockwise, and orbits the Sun counter-clockwise as well, as viewed from the North Pole of the Earth or Sun. These are arbitrary concepts of "above" and "below" the plane of the Solar System. The Moon also revolves around the Earth counter-clockwise.
How does gravity help the earth spin?
Gravity is responsible for keeping the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, which allows the Earth to rotate as it moves. As the Earth spins on its axis, the force of gravity helps maintain its balance and stability, preventing it from moving off course or tilting excessively.
As the moon revolves around the earth the moons gravity pulls on the earths seas this gravitational force causes?
A tide. You're asking about the tidal force caused by the interaction of the earth and moon. The earth and moon orbit around their common point, the barycenter, which is located within the body of the earth. As the earth swings away from the barycenter, the tides are caused that are observed on the side of earth away from the moon.
Does the moon remain still as it orbits around the earth?
The moon's orbital speed around the Earth is about 1.02 Km/s. Think carefully about the question. Orbiting is a motion, so the moon cannot possibly be still while it orbits. Perhaps you are wondering about the moon spinning on its axis. It is easy to see that some people might think that the moon does not spin on its axis, since the same face orients toward earth all the time. However, the moon does have to spin on its axis, one time for every orbit. This is why the same face orients toward earth all the time.
Does the earth spin around the sun or moon?
The Earth neither spins round the Sun nor the Moon. The Earth rotates(spins) on it own axis, top give us night and day. The Moon revolves (orbits) round the Earth once a month (Moonth). The Earth and Moon, as a binary system revolve (orbit) round the Sun once a year. The Moon making 13 orbits of the Earth in once a year.
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.
When viewed from above the North Celestial pole the moon orbits at rate faster or slower than the earth spins?
Im not sure i understand your question but doesn't the earth spin quite a bit faster because it takes 24 hrs for the earth to complete one rotation or spin but it takes the moon about 15 days to complete one orbit of the earth
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
Does the earth spin around the moon or the sun?
The moon spins around the earth once a month. The earth spins around the sun once a year and the earth spins on it axis once a day giving rise to night and day. So in answer to your question the earth spins around the sun and the moon spins around the earth.
Does the moon spin on its own axis?
YES!!! However, the spin is very slow, much slower than the Earth. In the 1 month (28/29 days) that it orbits the Earth, it only rotates once. Consequently, people on Earth only see one face. It has been calculated that the Earth only sees 59% of the Moon's surface. The other 41% has always been hidden from the Earth.
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
Do any moons spin while orbiting their home planet?
Yes, every moon spins on it's axis while it orbits. The Moon which orbits Earth spins, but because it is orbiting us at the same time we can only ever see on face of the moon. That's why there is the Dark Side of The Moon. I think you can see roughly 50.8% of the Moon's Surface on Earth.
How does the earth spin as it orbits the sun?
The Earth spins on its axis in the counter clockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.
Does the earth spin on its axis every28 days?
No. Each of those "days" of which the question speaks is the length of time it takes for the earth to spin on its axis. The question is actually referring to the moon, which takes 27.32 days to spin once on its axis.
What direction does the moon rotate in?
Counterclockwise. All objects in space spin counterclockwise except Venus because it is was to believed to be hit by a large object that changed its spin.
