What planet revolves around the sun while rotation on its side?

Uranus rotates in its horizontal axis rather than on its vertical one, like the other planets in the solar system. Astronomers believe that an Earth-sized object collided with the planet in the distant plans and knocked it onto its side.

Does the moon revolve like the earth?

The Earth revolves around the Sun while the Moon revolves around the Earth. However, the Earth spins while it revolves in a circle, causing us to have day and night as different sides of the Earth face the Sun. The same side of the Moon always faces the Earth, thus the phrase "Dark side of the moon."


Does the moon always presents the same side to the Earth but someone on the moon could see the earth revolving once in every?

Yes. The moon only revolves without rotating while the Earth revolves and rotates... Moon moves around the Earth, but not on its own axis. Earth spins on its axis and moves around the sun. Since they go at different speeds, someone on the moon would essentially be able to see all of the Earth (if they were up there long enough).


Does the moon rise like the sun?

Yes, since the moon is rotating around the earth, it is not always visible. If it is on the the other side of the earth, then a person could not see it. The difference is that the sun rises and sets because the earth is rotating on its axis, while the moon rises and sets because it is rotating around the earth.


Why does it go dark at night?

...The sun revolves around the earth.....if its night on one side its day on the other....


How would the surface of the moon look different if the crust on the far side were the same as the near side?

While the earth rotates, the moon revolves around it. While the moon rotates it has different phases. Improvement : I think this question is about the fact that the Moon's crust seems to be thicker on the "far side". This may be why there's much less sign of volcanic activity on the far side.


Is the moon rotating?

Yes, the moon is rotating on its axis, but it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth, so the same side always faces us, creating the illusion of it not rotating. This is known as synchronous rotation.


What causes the phrase of the moon?

Several factors cause the phases of the moon. The "light" side of the moon is light because light from the sun reflects off of it. (Interestingly enough, because of the way the moon revolves on its axis and revolves around the earth, the same side is light at all times.) The side that faces the sun is always light. As the moon revolves around the earth, the angle at which we see the moon changes, so we see different parts of the moon. This causes phases.

Why is it winter in Europe when it is summer in Texas?

because the earth is always moving around the sun and its rotating at the same time, so the sun is on Europe, while Texas is on the other side of the earth. hope this helps :D
