Question

does the earth move slower closer or faster

Answer 1

What do you exactly mean?

Answer 2

like if its closer to the sun does it move at a faster rate, then when its not so close

Answer 3

No. It takes the Earth 365 days, 6 hours, 45 minutes and 48 seconds to orbit the sun once.

Answer 4

Day and Night takes place when the Earth spins on it's axis. When one side of the Earth is facing the other side is facing space so it should be dark but the Sun's light reflects onto the moon which reflects to earth. This is also why the moon is visible to us.

Answer 5

It takes the Earth 24 hours to do a full spin. So each side gets 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. The reason the Earth has seasons is because it is tilted.

Answer 6

The earth moves faster when it is closer to the Sun . One reason is that angular momentum is constant and to conserve that in an elliptical orbit of which the earth is slightly elliptical, when it gets closer it must sweep out an arc faster than when it is farther..

Answer 7

There is a rule that an object in elliptical orbit (such as earth) sweeps an equal area in equal time. So if it is close, then I must move faster:



if t is equal then A1=A2, so you can see that the orbiting body moves faster when close to its parent body..
