What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
What is the only planet that rotates on its side?
Uranus is the only planet which rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees.
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".
What planet rotates backwards compared to earth?
I think venus
What is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is an imaginary line that runs through its center, connecting the North and South Poles. The tilt of this axis is responsible for the changing seasons on the planet as it orbits the sun.
Which planet revolves quickly but rotates slowly?
mercury
Which planets have an axis besides earth?
Pretty much every planet has an axis, because an axis is what a planet rotates around. Any planet that rotates has an axis, and pretty much every planet known rotates.
Which planet rotates very quickly?
The planet with the highest rotational speed in our solar system is Jupiter, with a period just under ten hours.
North and south poles of earth planet appears flat why?
The poles of the Earth appear flat because they are at the axis of the planet's rotation, causing them to have a flattened shape due to centrifugal forces. This shape is a result of the Earth's rotation and the distribution of mass across the planet.
What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
What changes as the Earth rotates?
As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet experience day and night. This rotation also causes the movement of air that creates wind patterns and ocean currents. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth affects the planet's shape slightly, causing it to be slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
What is the planet that rotates faster than any other planet in the solar system?
The planet is Jupiter. It rotates in just 10 hours.
How does the axial tilt of its planet affect its seasons?
because it rotates in different parts which changes the temperature
How does your planet rotate?
you don't want to know how my planet rotates ;)
How do you compare how a planet rotates with how it revolves?
There is no calculation for calculating how a plnet revoves with how it rotates
What planet has a vertical tilt and rotates on its side?
Uranus rotates nearly on its 'side'.
Which planet rotates slowly clockwise?
Venus is the planet that rotates slowly clockwise on its axis when viewed from above its north pole. This backward rotation is known as retrograde rotation.
