Which planet is hotter than Mercury has a longer period of rotation than revolution and has an atmosphere of about 97 percent carbon dioxide?
mercury
If the direction of rotation of the Earth were reversed and the direction of revolution remained the same would the sidereal day be longer than the solar day?
Yes, I believe you have that correct.
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
Is it true the cycle of tbe phases takes about two days longer than the moon revolution around earth?
Yes it is true. Period of the moon's revolution around the Earth (and rotation on its own axis). . . . 27.32 days Period of the cycle of the moon's phases . . . 29.53 days Difference . . . . . 2.21 days (phases longer)
Does it take longer for 1 rotation of the moon or earth?
The moon rotates at a rate that matches its revolution around the earth since it has one face always toward the earth. So the moon's rotation is approximately 28 days, while the earth's is only 24 hours. Hence the moon's rotation is longer.
Why is rotation of earth is much longer than revolution of earth?
It's not. One rotation(day) is about 24 hours whereas one revolution(year) is about 365.25 days.
Which planet is hotter than Mercury has a longer period of rotation than revolution and has an atmosphere of about 97 percent carbon dioxide?
mercury
What planet has the slowest rate?
The Planet Venus has the slowest rotation rate because one day there is longer than the year on Venus or longer than its revolution around the sun.
Which planet has a rotation period longer than its revolution?
The ones which are further out take longer to go round. This is descrbed by Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which also gives a numerical formula.
What is Venus's rotation?
It takes it 243 Earth days for 1 rotation! That is longer than its year!
If the direction of rotation of the Earth were reversed and the direction of revolution remained the same would the sidereal day be longer than the solar day?
Yes, I believe you have that correct.
What planet takes longer for one spin than for one orbit around the sun?
Venus has a rotation (spin) time of 243 Earth days, and a revolution (orbit) time of 224.7 Earth days, making it the planet with longer days than years.
Why does it take longer for earth to complete one revolution than to complete one rotation?
It also keeps the moon moving around the earth. The moon take 271-3 days to make one complete revolution around the earth.
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
revolution-is the revolving of an object around another object. rotation-is the spinning of an object on its axis. revolution and rotation are two different concepts but, are alike in some way. Rotation- Dominic
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?
Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
What are two major motions of earth as it travels through space?
Revolution and rotation
