The Earth revolves about its axis (a 24 hour day).
It also orbits the Sun in a more or less circular motion once every year
(about 365 days).

Are revolution and rotation the same?
No, they aren't the same. Revolution is the object moving in a circular motion. Rotation is when the object stays in one place and spins around.
An imaginary line winch an object spins?
I believe you are referring to an axis.
How can you turn water energy into electricity?
The energy produced by water in motion is passed through a fan or turbine. A generator attached to the fan or turbine spins with it and produces electricity.
What do vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depend on?
The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on a few different things. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on weight for example. The height of a projectile in motion will depend on: 1. the gravitational forces acting on it 2. initial height 3. Initial upward (or downward) velocity 4. upward or downward drag forces exerted by the medium it is traveling through (usually air - although it could be a liquid). 5. any upward or downward forces exerted by the independent motion of the medium it is traveling through - updrafts or downdrafts of wind for example.
Give me some example of kinetic energy?
You walking have kinetic energy A car/train/ship/aeroplane moving has kinetic energy A rocket going into space has kinetic energy. The Earth orbiting around the Sun has kinetic energy. Any object that is moving has kinetic energy. K.E. = 0.5 massvelocity^2 or KE = = 0.5 m v^2
The imaginary line about which a space object spins?
That imaginary line is called as "ORBIT".. Each space object spins around itself, in a particular path called as "ORBIT"
What type of motion occurs when an object spins around an axis without altering its linear position?
Rotational motion.
What is the difference between translational and rotational motion?
Translational motion . . .The object's center of mass winds up at a different locationcompared to where it was when the motion began.Rotational motion . . .The location of the object's center of mass doesn't change, butthe object turns, spins, whirls, tumbles, or rotates around it.
Are revolution and rotation the same?
No, they aren't the same. Revolution is the object moving in a circular motion. Rotation is when the object stays in one place and spins around.
What occurs when an object spins on its axis?
When an object spins on an axis it causes rotation!!
A celestial object spins its axis it is said to?
The word "Rotate" spins into mind.
Which ways do Venus Spain?
first of all its spins and venus spins in a retrograde motion or the opposite direction of the sun
Do the different parts of the solar system spin?
Yes, just about any object in the Solar System - or in space in general - spins. Some faster, some slower.
Does earth has jumping motion?
No the Earth spins around the sun
Which type of force can do no work?
A force perpendicular to an object's motion. Examples include: -- the gravitational force on an object in a circular orbit -- the gravitational force on a car that's moving on a level road -- the tension in the string holding a yo-yo as it spins in a circle around your head.
How does a plane make any ground when flying against the movement of the earth when the earth spins faster than a plane can fly?
The plane and every object on Earth is moving relative to the the planet, we just don't notice. When the plane is travelling against the motion of the Earth's spin, it seems like it is travelling forwards, but from space it can be seen that it is travelling backwards.
An imaginary line winch an object spins?
