What planet rotates most slowly about its axis?
Venus (a "day" is 116.75 Earth days long).
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
The planet that is most tipped on it' orbital plane is?
The planet Uranus rotates on an axis that is tipped about 90 degrees to the ecliptic.
What planet rotates around its axis most like the earth?
Mars. It has a very similar axis tilt and rotation period.
Is Earth the planet that rotates on its side?
No. It rotates in an axis that is about 23° tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. Uranus is the planet that is most tilted on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.77°.
Is the planet mercury is the fastest planet to rotate?
No. The slowest orbiting planet is Neptune. The speed at which a planet orbits is closely tied with the size of its orbit; the larger the orbit, the slower the planet moves.
Which planet rotates rapidly?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin. Haumea is a small dwarf planet, it rotates once in only 3h 54m 56s
Planet with the shortest rotation?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin. Haumea is a small dwarf planet, it rotates once in only 3h 54m 56s.
What is the fastest rotating gas planet?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all eight of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin.
Which planet rotates the opposite of most planets?
Venus
A spinning planet rotates in what direction?
Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.
Which planet takes 9 hours and 50 minutes to rotate once?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin.
