How long does it take Nepture to make one complete orbit around the Sun?

One orbit of Neptune around the sun takes about 164.79 earth years. Since its discovery in the mid-1840s it took until 2010 to complete one orbit.

Does the earth have 100 billion years?

No. The universe itself is about 13.7 billion years old. Earth is between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old.

How many miles does the earth travel around the sun in an hour?

It can be a hard question to answer, if only because it depends on what altitude and latitude you're at. If we assume that you're at sea level on the equator, then you are about 3,960 miles away from the axis of rotation the earth. The Earth rotates at a pretty constant 15 degrees/hour (actually the way that the time zones were created: each is roughly 15 degrees wide). (15 degrees/hour)/(360 degrees/circle) * 2*pi*(3960) miles/circle = 1036 mph Another way to calculate it is to use the number of hours in a day and the circumferance of the earth. This way (and the one above) assumes that you're at the equator. 2*pi*(3960 miles) / (24 hours) =1036 mph

What occurs when an object spins on its axis?

When an object spins on its axis, it undergoes rotation. This rotation causes different parts of the object to move at varying speeds, creating centrifugal forces that can affect its stability. The spin also determines the object's angular momentum and can impact its orientation and behavior in its environment.

What was the earth called 65 million years ago?

It wasn't called anything. There were no people around 65 million years ago to name anything.

What is rising up from inside of earth?

Magma rises up from inside the Earth through volcanic activity, leading to the formation of lava flows and volcanic eruptions. This process is essential for the creation and shaping of Earth's surface through processes like plate tectonics.

Why Does the length of day increase?

During the spring, the length of the day (in the northern hemisphere) is increasing because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the sun, closer to the point at which the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun by 23 and a half degrees (the axial tilt) which gives it more daylight and less night.

What is the recycling of the earth's water called?

The recycling of Earth's water is called the water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle. It is a continuous process in which water evaporates from the Earth's surface, condenses in the atmosphere, falls back to the surface as precipitation, and then flows back into oceans, rivers, and lakes to start the cycle again.

Did Copernicus make up the four elements that are in every living thing water air fire earth?

Copernicus did not invent the concept of the four elements (water, air, fire, earth). This idea dates back to ancient Greek philosophy, particularly to the works of philosophers like Empedocles and Aristotle. Copernicus was a mathematician and astronomer known for his heliocentric theory of the universe.

Does anyone live on earth yes almost everyone lives on earth that is the only planet known that people live on?

Well, people can live on mars, if they have appropriote supplies, such as air,food, and shelter,etc.;

Water/Ice has been found on mars by scientists, who have been to space, to discover found it.

What will happen if the rotation and revolution of the earth does not occur?

There is constant dark somewhere and constant light somewhere else. This lack of sunlight would cause plants to die on one side of the earth and would cause catastrophic problems worldwide. This however is impossible since the earth must rotate the sun.

How is the axis of the earth useful in locating places on the globe?

The axis of the earth is useful in locating places on the globe because people use the axis as a starting point. The axis is the starting point to go north or south, any direction on the globe and be able to use coordinates to pinpoint an exact concise location.

What is Earth's compression?

Compression is a stress state that acts to decrease the size / volume of an object. As such any force resulting in pressure or stress that acts to "squash" the crust is compression.

This commonly occurs at convergent plate boundaries were one tectonic plate is colliding with another.

Which planet most like earth in size and mass?

Venus is closest to the Earth in size and mass. Its diameter is around 95% of Earths, while its mass is around 81.5% of Earths.

What is the diameter of the crust?

The average thickness of Earth's crust varies from 5-70 kilometers (3-43 miles) on continents to 5-10 kilometers (3-6 miles) beneath oceans. Therefore, the diameter of the Earth's crust would be between approximately 12,742 km and 12,782 km (7,918- 7,941 miles), which is the diameter of the Earth itself.

Who does the earth belong to?

The earth belongs to the people who live on it.

Wrong answer. The earth doesn't BELONG to anybody. We're just temporary residents of it. We should try to take care of it so that it's around for our descendants, and even despite our best efforts to screw it up, it probably will be.

The earth has been around for almost four BILLION years, whereas mankind has only been here for a million or two - figuratively speaking, a mere blink of an eye. It's been covered, alternately, with volcanoes and with ice, with acid rain and methane gas clouds, and struck by huge meteors which extinguished the lives of virtually every living thing. Despite what you might think, a stray styrofoam cup, or the smoke from a cigarette isn't gonna destroy the earth.

It pains many people to even think it, but as a race, humanity ain't nothing special. That doesn't mean what we should be slobs - just that we need to get over ourselves. In the grand scheme, you and I and everybody else are just temporary collections of junk with opposable thumbs and a few brain cells, that just happened to learn to walk on two feet.

Why does the earth have land?

Land on Earth formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock on the planet's surface over billions of years. This process, known as plate tectonics, created the continents and landmasses that we see today.

Can there be gravity between mars and earth?

All celestial bodies exhibit some kind of gravitational pull on all other bodies. Hence, yes, it is very much possible to figure out the pull between the Earth and Mars. So yes, there can be, and is, gravity between our planets. Needless to say, the effect of Mars gravity on earth is overwhelmed by the effect of the suns gravity on earth. But it still exists.

Why is earth able to sustain life and other planets cannot?

It has liquid water on it. That is standard answer you will get from science as we know it now. It is quite possible though that there is some liquid water on all planets and moons if some in only very tiny amounts.

Since life has now been found several miles below the surface of the earth it is conceivable life is hiding there on many of the rocky planets and moons. Also on the icy ones, there is usually an ocean under the ice. On a planet like Titan where there is liquid methane in lakes on the surface, an entirely different life form pattern may exist...

Who was first to observe a moon halo?

The phenomenon of moon halos has been observed by humans for centuries. It is challenging to pinpoint the specific individual who first observed a moon halo, as these natural occurrences have likely been witnessed by people in various cultures throughout history.

Who was first observed moon halo?

T.Bhoomaiah Chary an Indian. I had observed gigantic white ring around the moon

it was quite visible during 10.05pm to 10.35 pm on 28th June 1996 Its angle is

33 degree and thikness is 1 degree, and its color and shining is like original pearl.After

10.35 pm. It began disappearing gradually.After few minutes due to cloudy shades around

the Moon.The white ring and moon both disappeared behind the clouds.However, after some

time when the clouds disappeared and moon was quite clear and visible to open eyes the ring

disappeared.

I have observed it 32 times and I have data from 28th June 1996 to 22nd July

1999 when I observed first time at ARMOOR villege. distric; nizamabad. state;andrapradesh.

The nature is cautioning us to take note of this by observing a ring around the moon

in the sky and to try to cool down the present hot atmosphere and

pollution.

I am a grassroots innovator I have 16 patent applications proses is running.

My aim is filtered Air to all people.

How many megatons of TNT would be needed to completely shatter the entire planet Earth and disrupt the whole rest of the Solar System as well?

The answer, as it turns out, is on the order of one trillion-trillion megatons of TNT; that is to say, 10-to-the-thirtieth tons of TNT, equal to a one followed by thirty zeroes. Another way of saying that is one million yottatons of TNT; one yottaton is equal to 10-to-the-24th tons. The energy released in such a cataclysmic explosion would be: 4.184 * 10-to-the-39th Joules. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, by contrast, was only about 15 kilotons of TNT.
