The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.

Jupiter is the planet that is the most flattened by its spin. Its rapid rotation causes it to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, giving it a noticeable oblate shape.

Is Saturn the most flattened planet in your Solar System?

Yes.


Which planet has flattened poles?

Several planets are flattened at the poles. That just means the distance between the poles is less than diameter of the planet at the equator. Saturn is the most extreme example in our solar system, followed by Jupiter. Even the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. Astronomers call this "oblateness".


Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?

Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.


What planet has flattened poles because it rotates so quickly?

Jupiter is the planet with flattened poles due to its rapid rotation. This fast rotation causes the planet to bulge at its equator and flatten at the poles.


Which planet spin on its side?

The planet Uranus spins on its side.


What is earth spin?

The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.


Do planet spin at the same speed?

no


Do you agree that retailing has flattened the world?

No, an activity can not intrinsically change the shape of the planet.


What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?

This is called "rotation" or "spin".


Jupiter's furious rate of spin causes what to happen?

Jupiter's fast spin causes it to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles, resulting in an oblate spheroid shape. This rapid rotation also contributes to the strong magnetic field generated by the planet.


A spinning planet rotates in what direction?

Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.


What does earth spin on?
