Are the earths spin axis and rotation axis the same thing?
Yes. When we're talking about the Earth, 'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.
How many planet days does it take Neptune to rotate on its own axis?
Neptune takes 16 hours 6 minutes and 36 seconds to rotate or spin once on its axis, or 0.67125 Earth days.
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
What does rotate mean in solar system?
spin; turn around an imaginary axis of rotation, like the one that includes Earth's geographical north and south poles
How long is it to spin round mercury?
Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days.
Does the earth spin rotate on its axis?
Yes, the Earth does rotate on its axis.
What is the direction of the earth's spin?
When looking from the north of earth it seems to rotate counter-clockwise.
What if the earth didn't spin or rotate around its axis?
we wood die!!
How does the earth spin and rotate?
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
Are the earths spin axis and rotation axis the same thing?
Yes. When we're talking about the Earth, 'spin' and 'rotate' are the same thing.
Does Venus and mercury spin faster then earth and mars?
Venus and Mercury rotate slowly, much more slowly than Earth or Mars.
How do you rotate buildings in battle for Middle-earth 2?
you have to hold control and then just move your mouse around and it will spin
What does rotate mean in space?
rotate means to spin on its axis and it measures 24hours to spin which is one day(If you happen to be talking about the Earth's rotation.)(Otherwise, it's 27.3 days for the Moon, 26 to 31 days for the sun, 22 hours for Mars, etc.)
Another word for spin?
Another word for spin is turn or rotate.
Rotate is to spin as ascend is to what?
Climb
Does rotate mean to spin?
yes
In quantum physics what is spin?
spin is the symmetry of something, if it has a spin of 1, then you need to rotate the thing 1 full circle for it to look the same as when you didn't rotate it. if it has a spin of 1/2, then you need to rotate it 1/2 of a circle. it is actually possible for something to have a spin of 2 (2 full circles) or higher.
