The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
The Earth spins like a top around its own axis. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun has its own proper motion through the Milky Way galaxy, and orbits the center of the galaxy every 220 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy itself is moving, but because we don't have any fixed point of reference in the universe, we don't know in what direction.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
Mercury's axis tilt is 0°. Venus' axis tilt is 177.4°. Earth's axis tilt is 23.5°. Mars' axis tilt is 25.2°. Jupiter's axis tilt is 3.1°. Saturn's axis tilt is 25.3°. Uranus' axis tilt is 97.8°. Neptune's axis tilt is 28.8°. Pluto's axis tilt is 122.5°.
If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
The Earth spins on its axis.
The imaginary line that the Earth spins on is called the axis.
Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
The word "Rotate" spins into mind.
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
axis. The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night as different parts of the Earth face towards or away from the sun. It takes approximately 24 hours for the Earth to complete one full rotation.
it spins on an invisible axis. hope this helps :)
The imaginary line between the poles of the Earth around which the Earth spins is called the "axis of rotation".
The Earth spins on an axis.
No but it spins on it's axis
Yes, Saturn spins on its axis in about 11 hours.
