How long does it take for it to rotate?
It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
The planet that is the most flattened by its spin?
The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.
What is pole shifting?
The pole shift hypothesis is the conjecture that the axis of rotation of a planet has undergone relatively rapid shifts in location. For the Earth, such a dynamic change could create calamities such as massive floods and large scale tectonic events.The evidence shows that no rapid shifts in the Earth's pole have occurred during the last 200 million years. The last rapid shift in the poles may have occurred 800 million years ago,
Why are hurricanes not formed in the Northern Latitudes?
Hurricanes form from the rapid rise of warm/hot air which is converted to cyclonic flow by the Earth's rotation. This is nearly impossible in cold climates (i.e Northern latitudes) where there is no steady source of warm air.
Jupiter's furious rate of spin causes what to happen?
Jupiter's rapid rotation rate causes its equator to bulge out and its poles to be flattened. It looks a bit like a squashed ball; the planet is seven percent larger at the equator than at the poles.
How long does it take for it to rotate?
It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
What are words that describe Jupiter that starts with the letter R?
rapid rotation
How long does it take for Saturn to rotat?
It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
What causes equatorial bulge?
rapid rotation. A.K.A penis jerkin.
What two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Jupiter's rapid rotation affects the planet by making it wider at the equator than at the poles. It also affects it by giving the planet its cloud bands.
In what two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Belts and Zones
How does a convetion current cause wind?
Earths rapid rotation and gravity interact to cause wind.
Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?
The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.
Which sensory structure in the inner ear is capable of sensing rapid rotation of your head to the left?
crista of a semicircular duct
The rapid rotation of the Earth an the chemical composition of the moon are best explained by?
C) a large impact early in Earth's development.
The planet that is the most flattened by its spin?
The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.
What are the basic requirements for a terrestrial world to have a global magnetic field?
a core layer of molten, convecting material and sufficiently rapid rotation
