Density of a solid for a regular shaped body. Definition, meaning and its simple calculation

These two short online tutorials discuss how the earth rotates and then the earth's revolutions.

In the first URL, the YouTube video explains why earth has spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. The second URL summarizes the key takeaway points.

Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

Speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit.

Viewing g as the value of Earth's gravitational field near the surface rather than the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface for an object in freefall.
