Does the moon travel the same way the earth spins?
Yes.
Does venus travel throught space faster than earth?
Earth spins faster than Venus.Here's a link for information:http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/venus_worldbook.html
Does Neptune spin faster than earth?
Yes, Neptune spins on its axis much faster than Earth. Neptune has a rotational period of about 16 hours, while Earth's rotational period is about 24 hours. This rapid spin on Neptune contributes to its strong and dynamic weather systems.
What are the essential condition the for geostationay satellite?
Because of the inverse square law of gravity, an object close to the Earth's surface feels a greater pull than an object further away. This would mean an artificial satelite in an orbit near Earth would have to travel faster to remain in orbit. One further away would travel slower. Close to the earth, a satelite might complete an orbit in, for example, 90 minutes; but the earth rotates once on its axis in 24 hours. This would mean the satelite would always have to travel faster than the Earth spins. Too far away, and the satelite would take longer than a day to orbit the Earth - so the planet would spin faster than the satelite's orbit. For a geostationary satelite, it would need to be at just the right distance, in an orbit that keeps it at the same place as seen from the rotating Earth - orbiting as fast as the Earth is spinning. Geostationary satelites get parked a little over 22,200 miles above the Earth's surface and in orbits the same direction as the Earth spins - and are thus useful for communication and weather functions.
What does the role revolution play in the occurrence of an eclipse?
An eclipse is merely a shadow cast across the earth, by the moon getting between us and the sun. As the earth spins underneath this shadow, the shadow appears to travel across the earth. The shadow is relatively small and only covers a small patch, underneath which will give a total eclipse. So as the earth spins this will limit the time that any one place, under the path, will have an eclipse.
Why does a satellite travel over different parts of the earth?
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
How fast does Saturn spin?
Saturn spins faster then earth
Does the moon travel the same way the earth spins?
Yes.
Does venus travel throught space faster than earth?
Earth spins faster than Venus.Here's a link for information:http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/venus_worldbook.html
Does the moon travel round the earth?
Yes, the moon travels in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, completing one orbit approximately every 27.3 days.
What happens every 24 hours in space?
the earth spins on it axis
Why is Saturn's days 10.7 hours?
Because Saturn spins faster than Earth.
If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?
No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.
Does a drive perform better if it spins faster or slower?
The drive performs better if it spins faster.
A westerly wind means that the atmosphere ...?
A westerly wind means that the atmosphere is moving faster than the Earth spins.
Does Neptune spin faster than earth?
Yes, Neptune spins on its axis much faster than Earth. Neptune has a rotational period of about 16 hours, while Earth's rotational period is about 24 hours. This rapid spin on Neptune contributes to its strong and dynamic weather systems.
What does the earth spins on?
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
