What is on complete turn of a planets axis?
rotation
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
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 orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
Do all eight planets have an axis?
Yes, all 8 planets along with planetesimals like Pluto revolve around and axis.
What planets turn on axis?
Each of them does.
What planets turn on an axis?
Each of them does.
What is on complete turn of a planets axis?
rotation
Which planets makes the fastest turn on its axis?
PlAnet JUpiTER
Do all planets turn?
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
How does Venus rotate on its axis?
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
Do other planets in our solar system have the same pole star as Earth?
No. And Earth's axis won't point in the same direction forever, either - in a process called "precession", the direction of the axis changes over time.
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 way of turn does planet revolve around the sun?
All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (sometimes called anticlockwise) direction. To be exact, this is as viewed from an imaginary point high above the Earth's North Pole. (You actually get a different answer if you view the Solar System from above the Earth's South Pole.)
Which planets rotate on an axis?
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
Why is Pluto's rotation on its axis?
A planets rotation is dependent on the total number and direction of ALL the hits that it has taken since it initially formed.
