What do moons rotate on?
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
Does only the earth rotate on its axis?
No, all the planets, moons, asteroids and the sun do.
Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What is the characteristics of the outer planets?
All outer planets have a gaseous atmosphere and are larger than planets the inner planets it also takes them longer to rotate the sun they are typically colder and have more moons.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from other planets and moons?
Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What are moons to planets?
Moons are satellites of planets.
What objects other than the earth rotate?
Many celestial objects, like planets, moons, stars, and galaxies, rotate on their axes. This rotation causes phenomena like day and night on Earth, and changes in visibility of certain parts of celestial bodies.
Is the moon and sun a planet?
Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
