How are earth's motion related to how we measure time give two examples?

Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day, with one complete rotation equal to 24 hours, which we use to measure time each day. Earth's revolution around the sun creates the concept of a year, with one orbit around the sun taking approximately 365.25 days, leading to the creation of the calendar year.


What allows you to manually rotate an object?

To manually rotate an object, you typically use tools like the rotation handle or rotation commands in design software or editing programs. By clicking and dragging the rotation handle or entering specific rotation values, you can adjust the object's orientation.


Which way does water go down drain in Australia?

It may go down in any direction - depending on how the water was spinning at first. If the faucet which you use to fill a container is ever so slightly inclined to the left or to the right, this will give the water a spin that will last for at least a day. Coriolis effects - effects due to the rotation of the Earth - are usually quite secondary.


How can you demonstrate the force of gravity?

The force of gravity can be demonstrated by dropping an object from a height and observing it fall to the ground. Alternatively, one can use a pendulum to show the constant pull of gravity acting on the swinging object.

Compasses always point toward geographic south?

No. If you are talking about magnetic compasses, they are aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, which is not exactly north-south (depending where on the Earth you are located). There are, however, special compasses that make use of the Earth's rotation; those will point north-south, regardless of the magnetic field.No. If you are talking about magnetic compasses, they are aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, which is not exactly north-south (depending where on the Earth you are located).

What is meant by the word gyration?

The word gyration means the rotation of an item around another item, for example, the Earth's yearly rotation around the Sun. Another example would be a child's use of the hula hoop.


Do satellite travel the same direction as the earth?

Yes - usually. The reason for this is that doing this requires less energy to launche them, since the launching rocket will use the Earth's rotation.

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.
