The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).

Is Saturn's rotation and revolution fast or slow?

Saturn's rotation is relatively fast, taking about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis. However, its revolution around the Sun is slower, taking about 29.5 Earth years to complete one orbit.


Why sunset is fast?

The appearance of the sun setting quickly is an optical illusion caused by the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins, the sun appears to move across the sky, creating the effect of a fast-setting sun. In reality, the sun sets at a consistent rate.


How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. In contrast, Earth rotates at a faster rate and does not exhibit tidal locking with the Moon.


If the moon rotated on it's axis as fast as earth would we always see the same side?

No, if the Moon rotated on its axis as fast as Earth, we would not always see the same side. The Moon is currently in synchronous rotation with Earth, meaning it takes the same time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. If its rotation speed matched Earth's, we would see different sides of the Moon over time, similar to how we see different parts of Earth as it rotates.


Does the moon have historical impact on the earth?

The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.


What are the earth's two kinds of motion?

Rotation on its own axis and Revolution around the Sun.


Does neptune have any special featurs?

Yes. It rotates about its axis once in every 16 Earth hours. That is immensely fast for a giant planet. (Contrast this with Earth's 24-hour period of rotation).


Do gas giants rotate faster on there axis?

Yes, gas giants rotate faster on their axis compared to terrestrial planets like Earth. For example, Jupiter completes a rotation in about 10 hours, while Earth takes about 24 hours. This fast rotation is due to their massive size and faster spinning during their formation.


How fast earth rotates on its axis in one second?

The Earth rotates at a rate of slightly over 15 arc-seconds per second.The actual speed of rotation depends on latitude. It's greatest at the equator. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed is about 465 meters per second.


How fast does Haumea spin in its rotation?

Haumea spins on its axis very quickly, completing one full rotation in about 3.9 hours.


How is rotation different then revolution?

A rotation is an object spinning around its own axis once, such as one day on Earth. A revolution is an object making a full transit around an external axis point, such as one year on Earth.
