of energy the earth using to be able to move around itself once a year?

Question

like to know what power of enegy the earth using to be able move around itself?

Answer 1

Based on Newton’s First Law of Motion the Earth doesn’t use any energy to move. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the way, 342 watts of energy is deposited from the sun into every square meter of the Earth.

Answer 2

No energy. If you are talking day's (spin on it's axis)

Something started the earth spinning and there are no real forces stopping it from spinning so there you are. It does not cost any energy as it does not need energy to spin.

The trip around the sun is about the same except that there is a diversion, The earth wants to move in a straight path... the sun and earth attract each other (the sun a 'bit' more) and make the path bend to an ellipse. Gravity we call that one.

But the movement itself is virtually perpetual.

Answer 3

its called gravity . And its not the earths its the suns gravitational pull.

Answer 4

perpetual motion
