section::::path of earth and moon around sun.









































when viewed from the north celestial pole (i.e., from the approximate direction of the star polaris) the moon orbits earth anticlockwise and earth orbits the sun anticlockwise, and the moon and earth rotate on their own axes anticlockwise.









































the right-hand rule can be used to indicate the direction of the angular velocity. if the thumb of the right hand points to the north celestial pole, its fingers curl in the direction that the moon orbits earth, earth orbits the sun, and the moon and earth rotate on their own axes.
orbit of the moon
eros a was launched on the russian start-1 launcher on december 5, 2000, from the svobodny launch complex in eastern siberia, to a low earth orbit (leo) altitude of 480 km. the satellite provides commercial images with an optical resolution of 1.8 meters. the satellite orbits earth in a sun synchronous orbit, so that its imaged target is always in daylight. it always crosses the equator at 9:45am local time.
