The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
What planets length of the day is 9 hours?
Mercury.
What is the difference of The rotational period of the inner and outer planets?
Rotational time of the planets is random (the length of the planet's day), but the outer planets do spin faster than the inner planets.
What determines the length of day on a planet?
How long it spins on it's axis
What determines the length of an entire year on a planet?
The time it takes for any given planet to make one complete revolution around its sun determines the length of its year.
What determines the length of night on earth?
Depends on where you are (latitude) and the time of year.
Do all planets in the Solar system have the same length of the year?
no
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
Which question should you ask to find out the length of a planets year?
bussy
What determines the weight on planets?
Usually, its mass determines its weight.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
What is the measurement of the extent of an object along its greatest dime?
Usually the length. Sometimes, though the orientation determines which measurement is the length. Usually the length. Sometimes, though the orientation determines which measurement is the length. Usually the length. Sometimes, though the orientation determines which measurement is the length. Usually the length. Sometimes, though the orientation determines which measurement is the length.
What is the length of a year on Uranus given in earth years?
84 known moons and planets
What property of a planet determines its length of year?
The time it takes to go around its solar systems sun.
Why do planets have different periods of revolution?
The planets are not all the same distance from the Sun, which determines how far they have to travel, and how fast they are moving. Planets farther from the Sun have much longer orbits and are not moving as quickly. So their period of revolution (year) is longer.
What is the length of time it takes planetary objects to revolve around the sun?
Typically, this length of time is called a "year". Each planet's year is a different length than that of the other planets and increases as the planet is further from the Sun.
