What is different about how the planets rotate on there axis?
Unlike their orbits around the sun - which was inherent in the way the planets were formed - their rotation speeds and axis of rotation is random and is dependent on each planet's history of collisions.
What is the dominant mode of rotation of the planets called?
The dominant mode of rotation of planets, where they rotate counterclockwise on their axis as viewed from above the North Pole, is called prograde rotation.
What is a planets movement?
Orbit around another body, rotation around its axis.
What is the planets axis of rotation?
An imaginary line which passes through the poles of the planet.
An example of rotation?
rotation-planets on axis revolution-planets in orbit
What motion of the planet is responsible for night and day?
Rotation around the planets central axis.
What is on complete turn of a planets axis?
One complete turn of a planet's axis is known as a "single rotation." This rotation typically takes one day to complete on Earth, causing the cycle of day and night.
When a planet spins on its axis this is called?
rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
