This is very unlikely. However, some planets, like Venus and Uranus ROTATE "backwards" (they do not spin the same way as the other planets). Some scientists think that Venus rotates backwards because a large meteor may have slammed onto it's surface so hard, it changed Venus's rotation. About one third of the moons in our galaxy rotate backwards, as well.

Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
The greatest difference in seasons will occur on a planet that has a circular orbit. This is because winds are created this way.
How do you change your name on dark orbit?
deleat your account its the only way
What determines the length of the planets year?
The eight planets are in order in their various places. If a planet is closer to the Sun, it will have a shorter orbit and therefore will take less time to complete its orbit. If a planet is farther away from the Sun, it will have a longer orbit and will take more time to complete its orbit. For example, Earth, the third planet from the Sun and takes just a year to revolutionize it, but since Uranus, the seventh planet, is farther away from the Sun, it will take 81 years to complete its orbit.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
What is the average density of every planet?
Mass of Planet X divided by volume of Planet X
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?

Does mars tilt and which way does it orbit?
Well it orbits just the way any other planet does
Is the sun in an orbit like a planet?
Yes, the Sun is in orbit around the Milky Way, with a distance of about 26,000 light years.
Do the planet have orbit?
Each planet is in its own orbit and obey's Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Newton later discovered that the Sun's gravity is what makes the planets move in their orbits in the way they do.
How does a satellite orbit a planet?
Ever seen water go down a plughole in your bath? When a satellite or moon gets caught in a planets gravitational field it vortexes in the same way. Only it moves toward the planet very slowly. Hope I Helped
Does it takes the sun a year to orbit the earth?
A "year" is the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. Each planet has it's own year. A "day" is how long it takes for the planet to spin all the way around.
What keeps a satellite in orbit around a planet?
It is not gravity because there is no gravity in space, only some on certain planets, deffiantly on earth. It is done by the strength from other planets the sun for instance. Heat waves. Some of the gravity in space does help keep the planets and satellites in orbit.
Can bodies orbit stars much like electrons orbit an atom and do you know of planetary systems in The Universe that do this?
An electron's "orbit" is very strange. An electron does not orbit an atom in the same way a planet can orbit a star. An electron's position cannot be absolutely measured. Rather, the best you can do is describe the probability that an electron will be in a certain place. This is an inescapable effect of quantum mechanics, the science of the very small. Very large objects, like people, stars and planets, are not subject to this uncertainty. So if a planet were to orbit a star in the same way that an electron orbits a nucleus, then every time you looked at it it's position would radically change. But planets and stars do not behave this way: their position at any time is easily calculable and predictable.

How does the orbits effect the way planets move?
Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!
