What does a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis a point which travels through the north and the south of the planet. On earth the axis is found at the north and south pole of the earth.
What is axis in planets?
The axis is the imaginary line that a planet rotates about, The earth's axis passes through the North and South poles.
Which planet in our solar system is the only one to rotate in a different direction from the others?
There are actually 2 planets that are different. Venus rotates counter clockwise. (Sun rises in the West on Venus) Neptune is tilted so far over that it rotates on its side. Instead of a North and South pole, it has an East and West pole.
Why is everything south of the North Pole?
It is the northern most point on Earth. You cannot go west or east of it, so the only direction is south. At the South Pole, you can only go north. The Earth rotates based on the North Pole and South Pole. There is no east or west pole.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.

What is an axis of rotation?
An axis of rotation is the axis around which any body rotates, or the line joining the North Pole and the South Pole about which the planet Earth rotates on a daily basis.

What is planitary wobble?
I believe that is when the rotation of the planet moves(wobbles) its North-South Axis. Normally a planet will have this axis point in one direction.
From what direction is the north pole from the US?
South, every direction from the North Pole is south.
Which direction is equator from south pole?
It is North.(From the south Pole, every direction is north.)
Is an axis one full orbit of an object around another object?
No, an axis is the line between the north pole and the south pole that the planet rotates about in its daily rotation.
If you are facing north what direction is behind you?
If you are facing north, the direction behind you would be south.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
