What is a planet doing when it rotates?
The rotation of a planet means that it's revolves around the sun's gravitational pull. Since all planets are hanging around in the universe and the sun are pulling them by it's gravity it causes some sort of magnetic rotation!
What is the difference between axis and orbit?
The axis of a planet is the imaginary pole of a planet in which it rotates. Say for example you have a globe. It is tilted slightly on an angle. That is the axis. The orbit is the place in which a body revolves around another, like all the planets to the sun, or Luna to Earth, etc.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
How long does it take venus to rotate the sun?
"Rotation" is when a planet or moon turns all the way around or spins on its axis one time. A "revolution" around the Sun takes about 365 days for Earth. Venus' revolution period is about225 Earth days. So, it takes Venus about 225 Earth days to "revolve around the Sun".
Does planet mercury rotate about its own axis?
Yes, the planet Mercury rotates on its own axis, as do all the known planets. Mercury's rotation is peculiar in that it evidences spin-orbit resonance, rotating three times for every two orbits around the Sun, an effect stabilized by the eccentricity of its orbit.
Is planet Jupiter on an axis?
yes all planets have an axis
When any planet travels all the way around the sun does it make a day?
No, that's a `year`. A day is when the planet has spun once on its axis.
What is the planet to turn on an axis?
All of them.

Is Earth the only planet that turns?
no, all planets spin and all planets in our solar system revolve around the sun.
Which is the only planet that is tilted on its axis?
They are all tilted.
Is there a planet with no axis that rotates greater than 365 days?
All planets have an axis. Thus, the answer is no.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
What planet spins in a reverse direction to all the others?
The planet Venus no longer rotates in its original direction, but turns very slowly clockwise (east to west). This is believed to have been caused by a huge collision sometime after the formation of the planets.
