Does Neptune rotate horizontally?
No, Neptune axis of rotation, like that of Earth is basically at right angles to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the planets rotate round the sun). It is Uranus that has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane the ecliptic, (i.e. its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators).
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
Which direction does Neptune rotate around the Sun?
Counterclockwise (that's anticlockwise) as viewed from above its North Pole.
Why sun is not rotate?
In fact, the Sun does rotate.
What is the Moon's orbital plane?
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.
Is uranus rotate around the sun in counter-clockwise direction?
No, all the planets go round the Sun in the same direction. However Uranus also revolves around its own axis, which is inclined at 98 degrees to the ecliptic, so sometimes it rolls along and other times the axis is pointed nearly straight at the Sun.
What direction does the sun rotate?
counter clock-wise
Do the planets and sun rotate the same direction?
Only some.
What travels on the ecliptic?
the sun travels along the ecliptic
What direction do the planets revolve around the sun?
From the perspective of looking downward at the plane of the ecliptic where North is up, the planets revolve counterclockwise.
Does sun revolve in the same ecliptic plane?
The 'ecliptic' plane is the plane that contains the Sun and the Earth's orbit around it.
What is ecliptic in relationship to the sun and the earth?
Ecliptic means the imaginary line that marks the path the Sun moves on annually. The ecliptic path projects the Earth's orbit and along helps mark when eclipses will occur.
Why does the ecliptic show?
The ecliptic is the apparent path of the sun's movement in space, as viewed from the earth.
Does Neptune rotate horizontally?
No, Neptune axis of rotation, like that of Earth is basically at right angles to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the planets rotate round the sun). It is Uranus that has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane the ecliptic, (i.e. its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators).
What a lie along the elliptic?
I think you mean the ecliptic. This refers to the paths of the planets as they orbit the sun. Also, the moon and movement of the sun are on the ecliptic when viewed from earth, which is why we get eclipses, from which the word 'ecliptic' is derived.
Why sun does not rotate?
The Sun does rotate.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
