What fourth grade sentence can you make out of rotation?
The moon rotates around our planet Earth. The rotation of the Earth refers to the spinning of our planet on its axis.
Which planet rotates around the sun on its side instead of spining?
Well they all spin, but Uranus has a tilt to its axis of rotation of about 89° so you might say that at times it appears to be rolling and not spinning.
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.
How do we know that planets rotate?
Simply by looking at the planet itself. If it's spinning, then it rotates.
What is the imaginary line which is spinning such as the planet rotates?
The imaginary line which a planet spins around is called its axis. This axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, which gives rise to changing seasons on Earth.
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.
What planet rotates in a clockwise direction instead of the counter clockwise direction?
Venus
How do you call it when a moon 1.rotates around itself 2.rotates around its planet and 3.rotates around the Sun at the same time it rotates around the planet?
A moon spinning on its axis is called Rotation. A moon going around its planet is called Orbiting. By Definition, all moons must be orbiting a planet. If the same body were on its own (say, if the Moon were orbiting the Sun without the Earth), it would be defined as a Planet. Thus, Question 3 is the same as Question 2. A planet's trip around the Sun is also called an Orbit. Because our Moon's orbit is so slow compared with our trip around the Sun (only 12 orbits per year), the Moon's path around the Sun would resemble a rounded, 12 sided dodecagon, and over several years would trace a path not unlike a Spirograph design.
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.
Which planet revolves around the sun than rotates an its axis?
That would be planet Venus.
Is the Earth's core spinning in the opposite direction?
No, the Earth's core is not spinning in the opposite direction. The core of the Earth rotates in the same direction as the rest of the planet, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.
Does your planet rotate or does the sun rotate around it?
Earth rotates around the sun .
