The first five planets from the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter.
The ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere blocks out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. It absorbs most of the sun's UV radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface, protecting living organisms from the harmful effects of UV exposure.
The Earth is constantly moving in several ways. It rotates on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole) and it orbits around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.
The Earth orbits around the Sun is the simple answer, which is good enough for most people. However, a more accurate answer is that they both orbit the center of mass of the solar system. Because the Sun has nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system, the Earth orbits a point that's normally just outside the Sun's surface. So, the simple answer is fairly accurate.
The sun appears to rise and set every 24 hours because of Earth's rotation on its tilted axis about the sun. The sun is located at the center of the solar system and does not change in position. However, as the Earth makes one complete revolution every 24 hours, different regions of the world pass through the sun's light, causing the effects of a sunrise and a sunset.
It keeps the earth from freezing.
The Sun is the ultimate source of all useable energy on Earth.
Yes, there is a gravitational pull that works both ways. Just as the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Earth, likewise the gravitational pull of the moon has its effect on the Earth, most commonly seen in its effects on the tides of the ocean. No doubt the gravitational pull of the Sun also effects ocean tides and other unseen effects.
The Sun is the ultimate source of all useable energy on Earth.
The sun is brighter and bigger.
The planet Earth is closer to the sun than five other planets. The planet closest to the sun is Mercury followed by Venus and then Earth.
Radiation
There are no harmful effects. its just the earth going between the moon and the sun.
All planets in our solar system experience tidal effects from the sun, but the most significant tidal effects are seen on Earth, where they influence ocean tides. The moon also plays a significant role in creating tides on Earth.
The sun does not move. The earth rotates on its own axis making it seem like the sun is moving..
They are both in our solar sytem and the earth rotates around the sun, this is not true the whole univers is fake
earth moves in two ways rotation: moving about its own axis (causes day and night) revolution: orbiting around the sun (causes seasons)
