Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
Why can't you see all Jupiter's moons through a telescope?
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
Does Jupiter rotate and revolve clockwise or counterclockwise?
Anti-clockwise viewed using the North Pole of Earth as "top"
Objects rotate around what?
Moons.
How may moons does the sun have?
None. The sun is a star, and no moons rotate around stars.
Does only the earth rotate on its axis?
No, all the planets, moons, asteroids and the sun do.
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.)

What are natural satellites that rotate around other larger celestial bodies called?
Mainly moons.

Why do planets moons have moons rotation?
I will assume you mean "why do the moons of planets rotate?" this is because the moon has mascons (mass concentrations). these mascons are attracted by the planet more than the rest of the moon, so these parts of the moon always face towards the planet, meaning that the moon rotates
Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?
No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.
What is an acrostic for astronomical?
asteroid stars telescope rotate orbit nebula orion moons inferior planets constellation atmosphere light year
