Tilted on an axis (N-S pole) 23.5 degrees. Earth moves in space two major ways. Rotation. - spinning of Earth on its axis. West to East, 15 degrees per hour or once per day, counterclockwise. This causes day and night—half the Earth is always lit and have it always dark. Earth, Moon, and Sun Gravity and Motion Isaac Newton was the first scientist to explain what keeps the Earth and Moon in orbit Force – a push or a pull There is a force acting between the Earth and the moon that keeps them in orbit CORE. The sun produces an enormous amount of energy in its core, or central region. The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms join together to form helium. Nuclear fusion only can take place under conditions of extremely high pressure and temperature. The temperature inside the sun's core reaches 15 million C, high enough for nuclear fusion to take place. .
