The is caused by the earths rotation?
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What is determined by the speed of earths rotation on its axis?
The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
What is a complete turn around the earths axis called?
A complete rotation which takes up 1 day or 24 hours.
Is Earths rotation axis fixed in space?
No, Earth's rotation axis is not fixed in space. It undergoes a slow wobble known as precession, which takes about 26,000 years to complete one full cycle. This causes the orientation of Earth's axis to change over long periods of time.
Are the earths rotation and revolution periods the same?
no they are not

How does the force of gravity affect the direction of motion of the planets?
earths rotation around the sun
What is determined by the speed of earths rotation on its axis?
The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
Why are the days short?
Days are short because of the earths rotation. So if England was rotating northwards, England would have shorter days!
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
What if the earths core switched spinning rotation?
wed be heading the opposite way of all the planets but everything else will remain the same except the time
A Foucault pendulum is a famous demonstration of Earths?
rotation
What is a complete turn around the earths axis called?
A complete rotation which takes up 1 day or 24 hours.
Is the earths rotation longer than the Moon's rotation?
No, the rotation period of Earth is shorter than that of the Moon. Earth rotates once on its axis approximately every 24 hours, while the Moon takes about 27.3 days to complete one rotation.
How long is the earths one complete rotation?
24 hours rotation
