Two observations that suggest the Earth rotates on its axis are the apparent movement of the stars in the night sky and the Coriolis effect, which causes the deflection of moving objects such as winds and ocean currents.

How does the Foucault pendulum work?

The Foucault Pendulum experiment proves that the Earth rotates beneath the pendulum, which proved that the Earth rotates. If one were to make a pendulum on the equator it would not work because it doesnt rotate at that point of the Earth.


If the earth spins on its axis at 1100 mileshour what is the speed of the Earth's rotation in feet per second?

To convert 1100 miles per hour to feet per second, you can multiply by 1.46667. Thus, the speed of the Earth's rotation in feet per second would be approximately 1617.34 feet per second.


How is a theory and a observation related?

Scientists make observations about the natural world through experiments and try to explain the phenomena that they observe. Scientists then attempt to explain the occurence of all of these observations in an overarching theory. For example, an observation would be seeing an apple fall to the ground and making measurements. The next step would be taking all of these observations which could include things such as the movement of planets and other cosmic bodies to form the theory of gravity which attempts to explain these observations.


Will the earth stop moving for 3 days?

No, the Earth will not stop moving for three days. The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, and orbits the Sun, causing seasons. If the Earth were to suddenly stop moving, it would have catastrophic consequences for life on the planet.


What will happen if the rotates at a faster speed?

If the Earth were to rotate at a faster speed, the days would be shorter, leading to faster sunrises and sunsets. This could disrupt ecosystems, weather patterns, and the balance of day and night. Additionally, changes in rotation speed could affect the planet's shape and gravitational forces.

Earth rotates because if i did not we would not have any atmosphere and we need an atmosphere to live.

What is an imaginary straight line around which an object such as earth rotates?

An imaginary straight line around which an object like Earth rotates is called its axis. Earth's axis is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, around which the planet rotates as it orbits the Sun.


Does warm air rise when earth rotates?

It would rise even if it didn't rotate.


Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?

The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.


Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?

You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.


Who rotates around the Earth?

The Moon . Thye Moon is an inanimate object - you can't call it 'who'. The answer would have to be 'astronauts'.


Which way is earth turning?

The Earth rotates towards the east. Or, if you were looking down on it from above the North Pole, it would rotate counter-clockwise.


What happens if earth rotates in same position?

Your question is unclear. However if the earth keeps rotating on its axis and the orbit around the sun does not then the earth would fall into the sun.


What happens when the earth rotates 30 times faster?

When the earth rotates 30 time faster every thing will get burnt due to friction with the air if not then i dont know...............


The earth rotates from east to west on its on axis. is it true?

I'm not sure of what you mean but I think you got it right. Another way to describe it is if you are North of Earth, out in space, looking back, you would see Earth rotate counter-clockwise. If you were out in space from the South side of our planet Earth, you would see the Earth rotate clockwise.


What is the total number of degrees that the earth rotates in its axis during a 12-hour period?

The Earth rotates 360 degrees in a 24-hour period, so in a 12-hour period, it would rotate 180 degrees on its axis.
