How long does Mercury take to orbit on it's axis?
The question is confused: a planet orbits around the sun or it rotates (spins) on its axis. It does not orbit on its axis.
What is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is an imaginary line that runs through its center, connecting the North and South Poles. The tilt of this axis is responsible for the changing seasons on the planet as it orbits the sun.
What do you call a satellite of a star which orbits around it spinning on its own axis?
Earth. Or in another word, a planet.
Define orbit and axis of the planets?
The orbit of a planet is the path it follows as it travels around the sun. The axis of a planet is an imaginary line running through its center and around which it rotates. The tilt of a planet's axis relative to its orbit affects its seasons.
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.
When any planet travels all the way around the sun does it make a day?
No, that's a `year`. A day is when the planet has spun once on its axis.
Who was the polish astronomer who proposed that the planet not only orbits around the sun but also turns once daily on its own axis?
They were Italian Genius
What are the paths called that planets revolve around the sun on?
Those are called orbits. A planet's day and night happen as the body spins on its axis.
Which planet orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
No planet does this. You probably mean the planet that ROTATES on its axis in an east to west direction. The answer is Venus. Uranus also does this, but with an extreme axial tilt.
Which blue green planet rotates on its side because of the tilt of its axis?
The blue-green planet that rotates on its side due to the tilt of its axis is Uranus. Its axis is tilted at about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits.
Which of the following planets rotates on its side?
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side. Its axis is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits.
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.
