How does the earth spin in relation to the universe?

Question

It's not a quiz, I need help.

Thanks :-)

Answer 1

towards the east, its also rolling around the sun and the sun moves in a spiral and the spiral .....

its a complicated movement

Answer 2

The earth spins around its axis from east to west and spins around the sun counterclockwise as seen from looking down on the north pole axis. The sun moves with earth in an orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is moving toward its nearest neighbor galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy. Finally, both galaxies are part of a galaxy cluster called the Local Group which is moving away from all the other galaxy clusters as the universe expands.

Answer 3

easy be the earth's gravity. and the earth doesn't rotate it is the sun that is going around the earth. so the sun will rotate the earth by it's gravity in space.

its a complicated movement either pole. However, you'd have to specify some point IN the universe before our rotation could be compared to it.
The earth is beauiful put in place one degree closer to the sun and it would be too hot and one degree farther from the sun and it would be to cold.
It is round and is in orbit
It is created by God he want two light to rule the sun during the day and the moon at night so he made the earth spin he earth is beauiful put in place one degree closer to the sun and it would be too hot and one degree farther from the sun and it would be to cold.

at a guess, the earth spins because of the gravitational effects of the sun which is a teeny teeny unimportant star on the outside arm of our galaxy (the milky way) which itself is probably rotating relatively slowly as it whizzes along with millions of other galaxies away from the big bang. but I think this is a pretty dumb question to try and answer unless your an astrophysicist or something like that.The earth spins around its axis from east to west and spins around the sun counterclockwise as seen from looking down on the north pole axis.

Answer 4

It always helps me to think of questions like this step by step.

The Earth rotates on the axis that runs through the North and South Poles.

The Earth orbits around the Sun.

The Sun is located in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, which means it has a central core of many many stars and arms that rotate around that. The Sun is in one of those rotating arms.

The Milky Way Galaxy is moving away from every other galaxy in the area. (Presumably in a straight or close to straight line)

Answer 5

The Earth rotates on its axis (once every 24 hours)
The Earth orbits the Sun (once every year)
The Sun, as the center of the solar system, orbits the galactic center of the Milky Way once every 220-225 million years.
The path of the Milky Way in a universal context may not be meaningful, and in any case would be poorly constrained.

Answer 8

Earth spins counterclockwise if you're looking down on it from either pole. However, you'd have to specify some point IN the universe before our rotation could be compared to it.

Answer 9

It spins width respect to the sun every 24hrs and width respect to the stars every 23:56hrs. This effect is cause by the face the the earth is also orbiting as it spins.
