Which outer planets are the gas planets?
The gas planets are Jupiter, which is the biggest planet, Saturn, Uranus which rotates up and down not side to side, and finally Neptune.
What one of the 8 planets rotates on its axis east to west?
Uranus and Venus
What planets rotates top to bottom instead of side to side?
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side, with its axis tilted at a steep angle relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes Uranus to essentially roll along its orbital path, making it appear to rotate from top to bottom instead of side to side like most other planets.
Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.
Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
Retrograde rotation is when a planet rotates in a direction opposite to the majority of planets in our solar system. The planet Venus rotates in retrograde, meaning it spins clockwise on its axis when viewed from above its north pole. This is in contrast to the counterclockwise rotation of most planets, including Earth.
Which of the following planets rotates on its side?
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side. Its axis is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits.
What is the only planet tilted on it side?
Uranus, with a tilt of 98°. All planets have some tilt, but Uranus' tilt is so extreme, it rotates on its side.
What planet rotates on its side as seen from earth?
Uranus rotates on its side as seen from Earth. Its axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of approximately 98 degrees, causing it to appear as though it is rotating on its side compared to most other planets in our solar system.
The earth rotates on what is called its?
The Earth, and all rotating planets, rotates on its axis.
How is the rotation of Uranus unlike that most of the other planets?
Uranus rotates at 97degrees from the ecliptic plane in other words it is tilted on its side
Which of the eight planets of our solar system rotates clockwise?
Major PlanetsVenus is the only major planet known to rotate clockwise. Uranus is tilted on its side, so the rotation direction is ambiguous.Dwarf PlanetsAs for the five dwarf planets, Pluto also rotates on its side, so it's direction is ambiguous as well. And the Rotation of Eris is unknown.
What is characteristic of Uranus?
Uranus has the coldest atmosphere at -224C on average. Something that is unique about Uranus is that it has 22 moons. Also, it rotates on its side instead of upright.There are two odd things about the rotation of Uranus. Firstly it is tilted at 98o or 8o past horizontal (it rotates on its side). It also rotates backwards compared to the other planets except for Venus that also rotates backwards.
