"Rotation" is the spinning of a planet on its axis.
What else can I help you with?
What is similar about a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?
they are both about circular motions but rotation is on an axis and revolving isn't. also revolution is usually revolving around another object.
Motions of the moon?
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
What does it mean when a planet revolves?
A planet spins on its axis and also orbits the Sun. People often call both motions"revolving". However, astronomers use the word "rotates" for spin and keep "revolves" for the orbital motion.
Which planets have an axis besides earth?
Pretty much every planet has an axis, because an axis is what a planet rotates around. Any planet that rotates has an axis, and pretty much every planet known rotates.
Two main planetary motions?
Revolution (about its primary) and Rotation (about its axis)
What 2 motions does the moon have?
rotation on axis and revolving around earth
Which motions refer to earth's spinning on its axis?
That motion is known as "rotation".
What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
What are the types of motions of the earth?
Rotation on its own axis and Revolution around the Sun.
What is the difference between the rotation axis and the axis And the equator?
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
How is a planet axis best described?
A planet's axis can be described as an imaginary line passing through its center and around which it rotates. The axis determines the planet's orientation in space and influences its seasons and climate. For Earth, the axis is tilted approximately 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun.
What do you call a planet spinning on it's axis?
A planet spinning on it's axis is called rotation
