What else can I help you with?
Earth spins on its axis like a top in a movement called?
Rotation
Just like the earth the sun on its axis?
Spins.
What are other earth's movement aside from rotation and revolution?
The Earth spins like a top around its own axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun has its own proper motion through the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy every 220 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy itself is moving, but because we don't have any fixed point of reference in the universe, we don't know in what direction.
How does earth revovle?
the sun has like a magnetic field and the earth has to orbit it. in order to do so it spins on its axis
WHY does it seem like the stars are moving?
Cause earth orbits the sun and spins on an axis
How come at night time you are not upside down if the earth spins at night?
Because the Earth spins on a near vertical axis like a top or a basketball spinning on a finger. But if you were upside down you wouldn't know anymore about it than do the people in Australia.
How many times changes occurs in the Earth axis?
The Earth's axis (the imaginary line round which it spins like a top) has remained at its current inclination since the Earth/Moon system formed some 4 thousand million years ago. The reason for this is that the presence of the Moon stabilises the Earth and prevents the axis of spin from changing.
What does axis mean in science terms?
It depends. From a socio-geographic standpoint, an "axis" is an alliance of nations formed for political or military reasons. From a purely geographical standpoint, an "axis" is the imaginary line that goes from the north pole to the south pole through the center of a planet. The planet spins in its axis like a wheel spins on an axle.
Does it take 9.92 Earth days for Jupiter to turn once on its axis?
No, it's more like 9.92 HOURS for Jupiter to rotate once. For its enormous size, Jupiter spins like a top!
How does night happen and why?
The earth continuously orbits around the sun and at the same time spins on its axis. Every time we go completely around the sun a year elapses. Every time the earth spins around on its axis once, a 24 hr. day elapses. (Think of it like the earth is a spinning top circling the sun.) Night happens when the place on the earth you are at turns away from the sun. Sunrises and sunsets occur as we turn away from the sun.
How do the tilt of the earth's axis and earth's movement around the sun cause season?
The distance between the sun and the earth gives real meaning to temperature. We revolve around the sun in an oval-like pattern. At the furthest part we're in winter, we have less heat and therefore snow [Winter] As the Earth gets closer, it gains more heat from the sun [Summer] And all the distances in between make seasons like Fall or Spring.... Our Earth's axis spins around once every 24 hours (about), and doesn't contribute much to the season. -Des
