The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.

What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Jupiter's furious rate of spin causes what to happen?
Jupiter's rapid rotation rate causes its equator to bulge out and its poles to be flattened. It looks a bit like a squashed ball; the planet is seven percent larger at the equator than at the poles.
Is the earth slightly bulged at the poles?
The Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulged at the equator ... exactly what you get when you spin a ball of pizza dough.
Which planet would the sun rise most frequently?
Since the frequency of the Sun rising is directly related to the spin of the planet, the answer is Jupiter, with the Sun rising approximately every 10 hours.
Is Saturn the most flattened planet in your Solar System?
Yes.
Which planet has flattened poles?
Several planets are flattened at the poles. That just means the distance between the poles is less than diameter of the planet at the equator. Saturn is the most extreme example in our solar system, followed by Jupiter. Even the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. Astronomers call this "oblateness".
Which planet spin on its side?
The planet Uranus spins on its side.
What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
What planet has flattened poles because it rotates so quickly?
Jupiter

Do you agree that retailing has flattened the world?
No, an activity can not intrinsically change the shape of the planet.
Do planet spin at the same speed?
no
Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?
venus
How long does it take Uranus to spin once around its axis?
14.24 hours Even though Uranus is a much larger planet than earth, it spins faster because most of the planet is made of gas (smaller solid core can spin faster).
