What else can I help you with?
Does Jupiter rotate faster then earth?
Yes. The planet Jupiter rotates once in about 11 hours.
Which planet rotates at the same speed as earth?
Mars has a similar rotation speed as the Earth - 24 hours and 38 minutes.
What does the earth do on its axis?
The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night as different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun's light. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete.
What planet can revolves around the sun west to east and rotates in the same direction in 24 hours?
Earth
If a planet rotates 360 degrees during a 24 hour time period, what does that tell us about the planet?
It tells us that the planet has a rotational period of 24 hours, which means it takes 24 hours for the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the case for Earth, where a day is approximately 24 hours long.
What is the planet that rotates faster than any other planet in the solar system?
The planet is Jupiter. It rotates in just 10 hours.
Which planet rotates on its axis about the same amount of time as earth does?
Mars. Its "sidereal day" (rotation period) lasts a little longer than Earth's, at 24hours 37min 22sec. The Earth rotates in about 23 hours 56min 4sec.
Can you give me a sentence using the word earth?
Earth is the planet that humans and other living creatures live on
How often does earth rotates on its axis?
Earth rotates once in about 23 hours and 56 minutes.
Which planet rotates in its axis in about the same time that earth does?
Mars. It's slightly longer at about 24 hours and 37 mins, but this period of rotation is very similar to Earth's.
How long is a day on different planets?
The length of a planet's "day" is normally determined by its rotational speed, which varies and is fastest on the larger planets. For two inner planets, the rotation is so slow that the "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) is determined primary by their revolution around the Sun. For Uranus, its tilt means that the day or night is determined by its 84 Earth year orbit around the Sun.Mercury:rotates once every 58.6 Earth days - solar day is 176 Earth days(twice the length of its year)Venus :rotates once every 243 Earth days, east to west - solar day is 116.75 Earth days(its year is 224 Earth days).Earth:rotates once every 23.93 hours - solar day is 24 hours(Earth rotates 366.25 times a year)Mars :rotates once every 24.66 Earth hours - solar day is 24.6 Earth hours(the much longer year means the number of rotations roughly equals the number of days)Jupiter :rotates once 9.925 earth hours - solar day is 9.925 Earth hours(the atmosphere in the equatorial regions takes only 9.84 hours to rotate - it is a gas planet)Saturn :rotates once every 10.65 Earth hours - solar day is 10.65 Earth hours(the atmosphere in the equatorial regions takes only 10.23 hours to rotate)Uranus :rotates once every 17.24 Earth hours - solar day is 42 Earth years(the planet is tipped on its side - each pole spends 42 Earth years in sunlight or darkness)Neptune :rotates once every 16.1 hours - solar day is 12 to 18 Earth hours(the gases of Neptune's atmosphere rotate fastest at the poles: 1.5 times faster than the equator)Dwarf planet Pluto:rotates once every 6.39 Earth days - solar day varies by location (as long as 100 years)(axial tilt is 120 degrees, 60 degrees from its orbital plane - areas of the planet can be in sunlight for decades at a a time)
Does the sun rotate at the same rate that the earth rotates?
No. The earth rotates once in about 24 hours. The sun rotates once in about 32 days.
