Which planet rotate on in axis?
All the planets rotate on their axes and it would be a very unusual thing to find a planet that did not rotate.
Is there a north pole and a south pole on mars?
Yes. All of the planets, which spin on their own axes, have a north and a south pole.To my knowledge, Earth is the only planet upon which axes may be found. I do believe that all planets that rotate around their axis have a north and south pole.
Planets do not collide into one another because?
Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.
Do planets rotate clock wise around the sun?
Unfortunately the second answer below is about the Earth's rotation. The question is about orbits, but should really use the word "revolve". All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (anticlockwise) direction, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. Usually we just say "counterclockwise" (the viewpoint is understood to be from above the North Pole.) So, the answer to the question is: "No, they revolve counterclockwise." Second Answer: A point on the Earth's surface always rotates towards the east. Looked at from a very long distance above the South Pole the planets rotate clockwise. But looked at from above the North Pole they all rotate anticlockwise. Take your pick. Technically there is a convention in mathematical axes that says a right-hand threaded screw lying along an axis moves in the direction of the positive axis when it is rotated anticlockwise. Using that idea, a positive rotation is anticlockwise seen from the far-off positive end of the axis. Using that convention the Earth rotates anticlockwise (a positive rotation) seen from along the northwards axis
How are the gas giants and inner planets similar?
Firstly they are all roughly spherical. Secondly they orbit the sun. Thirdly they spin on their axes.
Which planet rotate on in axis?
All the planets rotate on their axes and it would be a very unusual thing to find a planet that did not rotate.
Do planets orbit the sun?
Yes. The Sun in turn orbits the galaxy. Planets and the Sun also rotate on their axes.
How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
What is the difference between a planet's rotation and its revolution?
The planets rotate around their rotational axes and revolve around the sun.
Is there a north pole and a south pole on mars?
Yes. All of the planets, which spin on their own axes, have a north and a south pole.To my knowledge, Earth is the only planet upon which axes may be found. I do believe that all planets that rotate around their axis have a north and south pole.
Most planets rotate on their axes in what direction?
They rotate counterclockwise, looked atfrom an imaginary pointabove the Earth'snorth pole. That's the same directionas the Sun.
Do all planets stay in one place or do they revolve in orbit?
The planets turn about their axes (rotate), and move in orbits about the sun (revolve). They are all in dynamic motion all the time. Welcome to the music of the spheres. Planets (all of them) are continually in motion. They all revolve on their axes and move about the sun in their orbits. This is the music of the spheres.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
Does the moon and the sun rotate on its axes?

Do all planets rotate on their axes at the same rate?
No. Each planet spins at a rate determined by its mass and interactions with the gravity of the Sun and the other planets. This rotational speed may have changed considerably since the planet formed. The large gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) spin much faster than Earth, at least as far as can be determined from their exterior cloud layers. Saturn, especially, has a faster rotation speed at its equator than at its poles.
What is synchronous reference frame?
It has been shown that the speed of rotation of the d.q axes can be arbitrary although there are three preferred speeds or reference frames as follows: (a) the stationary reference frame when the d,q axes do not rotate; (b) the synchronously rotating reference frame when the d,q axes rotate at synchronous speed; (c) the rotor reference frame when the d,q axes rotate at rotor speed.
What is the model of the solar system named?
An "orrery" is a mechanical contraption, most no bigger than a desktop, that simulates the planets in their revolution around the sun. More complicated (and expensive) models also simulate the planets' rotation on their axes, and the revolution of some of the planets' satellites around their respective planets.
