Yes, however some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn MAY have equivalent processes.

Is neptune the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to its orbit?

The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.


Why does Saturn only have 11 hours a day?

Because a day is defined as how long it takes a planet to rotate on it's axis, and has nothing to do with the size of a planet. However, Saturn rotates at about 35,500 kph whereas the Earth for comparison only rotates at 1,675 kph.


Is it true that Neptune's the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to it's orbit?

No. That would be Uranus.


What only planet rotates sideways on its axis?

Uranus - I found it out on Are you smarter than a fifth grader.


Does the earth rotates on its axis in a single day?

The earth rotated on its axis in 24 hours (one day). The earth also rotates around the sun in 365 days (one year). Not quite. The Earth rotates once on its axis with respect to the background stars in about23 hours 56 minutes (sidereal day). It rotates with respect to the sun only in 24 hours (solar day).


What planets have bodies that rotate on an axis?

The planet Earth is the only planet with rotisseries.


Which planet rotates rapidly?

Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin. Haumea is a small dwarf planet, it rotates once in only 3h 54m 56s


Why cant the whole part of earth experience day at the same time?

the earth rotates on an axis. When it rotates, half of it is exposed and half of it is not.


Why does moon only rotate at earth but not at saturn jupiter mars and any other planet?

The (our) moon rotates about its axis relative to objects in the solar system EXCEPT the earth. The moon shows one face to the earth because it is tidally locked.


Does the moon revolve around the earth much slower then it rotates?

The moon rotates around the earth at the same rate that it rotates around it's own axis. This means that from earth it is only possible to see one side of the moon. That is why the moon rover expeditions were so intriguing to scientists.


How many axis dose earth rotate?

well, if there are about 365 days/year and 1 rotation of the Earth on its axis equals 1 day then it rotates about 365 times? No, that's how many days we see. Try a quarter and dime on the table and ask, if the earth rotates on its own axis one time, how many days would we see? Hint, the earth rotates in the same direction on its own axis as its direction of revolution around the sun.


Why do you only see 1 side of the moon?

the moon rotates on its axis once a month (28 days) The moon revolves around the earth every 28 days The moon is tidally locked with the earth which means that we always see the same side of the moon. It is true that the moon rotates around the earth but it does not spin on its axis.
