What is meant by the rotation of planets?
It means they spin. They turn in space, pivoting around an invisible axis that runs from pole to pole through each planet. Different planets spin at different speeds, and their spins are not perfectly aligned with their orbits (revolution) around the Sun. The spin or rotation of the Earth is what makes the Sun appear to move across the sky.
What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?
The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.
Compare period of rotation with period of revolution?
An object rotates on it's axis (Spins) - DayAn object revolves around another object (Orbit) - YearSo for the Earth. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate once in it's axis - a day,whereas it takes a year to revolve around the Sun.Rotation would just be an object spinning on its own, whereas revolution means thatan object is going around another object.-- The Basketball rotates rapidly on the end of the player's finger when he's showing off.-- The roulette ball revolves around the center of the roulette wheel.
Jupiters length of rotation?
Jupiter rotates once on its axis each 9.9 hours, and revolves once around the sun each 11.86 earth years.
What is the definition of a retrograde rotation?
Retrograde means - sort of - backwards. To understand forward and backward, however, we need to understand the point of reference...The planets (and asteroids and comets, etc.) revolve around the Sun. We arbitrarily called the revolution of the Earth around the Sun counter clockwise, meaning that the path is reverse that of a clock face, when you look down on the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Earth around the Sun) from a position that is in the direction of the north pole star, or Polaris.Using that same perspective, i.e. looking down from celestial north, we observe that most of the planets also rotate about their own axes in a counter clockwise direction. That is why the Sun appears to rise in the East and set in the West.Six of the eight planets, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, have this "normal" counter clockwise rotation. Each planet's axis is also tilted in varying degrees to the ecliptic, but you can still consider them to be rotating counter clockwise.Two of the planets, however, Venus and Uranus, have what we call retrograde rotation. This means that, when viewed from celestial north, they rotate clockwise, instead of counter clockwise. Their revolution (or orbit) around the Sun is still counter clockwise, but their rotation around their own axes is clockwise. That is retrograde rotation.
What is the time of revolution the planets?
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125
What is the relationship between a planets movement and a planets rotation and revolution?
Each year, the planet moves one full rotation around the sun, a movement. Each day, the planet revolves once, that's why in the day there is light because you are facing the sun, but when the earth revolves some more it is facing away from the sun eliminating the sun's light.
What do weobserve since the moon rotates for each revolution around the earth?
We always see the same features on the surface - since the rotation is the same period as the orbit.
What is meant by the rotation of planets?
It means they spin. They turn in space, pivoting around an invisible axis that runs from pole to pole through each planet. Different planets spin at different speeds, and their spins are not perfectly aligned with their orbits (revolution) around the Sun. The spin or rotation of the Earth is what makes the Sun appear to move across the sky.
What is different about how the planets rotate on there axis?
Unlike their orbits around the sun - which was inherent in the way the planets were formed - their rotation speeds and axis of rotation is random and is dependent on each planet's history of collisions.
What is meant by rotation of planets?
They go round and round. Not only do they turn on their polar axes, but they also revolve around the Sun. So the planets each have two types of revolution. The Earth turns on its axis every day, and it goes round the Sun once a year.
What do you notice about the rotation and revolution periods of the moon?
They are the same. The Moon rotates once for each revolution around the Earth.
Why is each planet's period of revolution different?
They all have a difference because they all are not 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.
Is it true that each planet makes one revolution each year?
depends on what you mean. The planets revolve by themselves and around the sun so if you mean just a rotation of a planet then no. If you mean around the sun it depends on how your thinking about it. If you're talking about 365 earth days, then no. Each planet moves at a different speed around the sun and the farther from the sun, the slower the rotation.
Does the planet with the shortest revolution have the shortest rotation?
No, the planet with the shortest revolution does not necessarily have the shortest rotation. Revolution refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the sun, while rotation refers to the time it takes for a planet to complete one full spin on its axis. These two periods can be different for each planet.
What would happen if the Earth's period of rotation doubled but the period of revolution stayed the same?
There would be [182 and 5/8] days in a year; each day would be 48 hours long.
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
They have an attraction toward each other but they stay still due to there heavy mass and there speed of high rotation
