Earth’s Motions What evidence do we have to provide evidence of Earth’s motions and how do calculate its elliptical orbit? •
Imagine a line passing through the center of Earth that goes through both the North Pole and the South Pole. This imaginary line is called an axis. Earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. This spinning movement is called Earth’s rotation.
Topic 4 Motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun. Overview: without streetlights to dim and hide the moon and planets, most cultures of the past made calculations that predicted their motions. The moon especially became a major tool for timekeeping.
2.1 Tilt, Wobble & Stretch The Earth experiences three dominant periodic motions of much longer periods that are not readily perceptible. Each of these give insight into the interior structure of the Earth or has a direct effect on the Earth's climate. 2.1.1. Axial Precession
