Which Planets in the Solar System rotate on a tilted axis?
ALL of the planets in our solar system have axial tilts. Jupiter and Venus have the least, while Uranus is most.
How long does it take the planets to spin on their axis?
That depends on which solar system and planet you are asking about - we now know for planets orbiting other stars.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Venus, Uranus and Pluto are exceptions.
What does Uranus' tipped axis cause?
It causes Uranus to rotate on it's side ( in respect to the other planets in the solar system)
What is the axis of all planets?
Each planet (and the Sun) rotates about its own axis. The axis is an imaginary line between the poles of a planet. All points on the planet rotate around this central line. The angular momentum vectors of the Sun and planets together can be added up and the result is an equivalent rotation in a plane called Laplace's invariable plane. The invariable plane lies within about half a degree of the plane of Jupiter's orbit. About 98% of the angular momentum in the Solar System is contributed by the four outer planets. That means that if those planets were collapsed into the Sun it would rotate 50 times faster and throw off a new belt of debris, eventually forming a new solar system. That argument explains why there are so many solar systems.
Which Planets in the Solar System rotate on a tilted axis?
ALL of the planets in our solar system have axial tilts. Jupiter and Venus have the least, while Uranus is most.
Do the other planets in the solar system have day and night?
Yes. Since all planets in the solar system spin on an axis, every planet has cycles of day and night.
Which planets in your solar system rotate on their axis?
All of them. A few satellites are tidally locked to their primary (luna for example), but all the planets rotate.
How long does it take the planets to spin on their axis?
That depends on which solar system and planet you are asking about - we now know for planets orbiting other stars.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
What does Uranus's tipped axis caused?
It causes Uranus to rotate on it's side ( in respect to the other planets in the solar system)
Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?
Venus and Uranus spin awkwardly compared to the other planets in the solar system. It all comes down to when the solar system and the planets were formed, they were averagely hit at a certain angle causing Venus to rotate in reverse axis and Uranus to rotate on it side axis.
Is Saturn the only planet on an axis?
All planets have an axis if you google search "planetary chart" click on the first link that comes up and it will give you a table of the diameters and axis's and everything on all the pla nets and dwarf planets in our solar system.
Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
Venus rotates on its axis the opposite direction that it orbits, the opposite of most planets in the solar system. (Note that Uranus rotates on its side.)
What planets day last 9.9 hrs?
Jupiter. It spins the most quickly on it's axis out of the planets in our solar system, it's day lasting only 9h 55mins and 30secs.
Where did the Solar System get its name?
Well, "solar" means sun, so that would make it kind of like a "sun" system instead of a "solar" system. Since the planets all revolve around the sun, it makes some kind of a system in which each planet has its own orbit and axis.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Venus, Uranus and Pluto are exceptions.
