Which planet spins almost as fast as Earth?
Jupiter
Speed of rising sun?
The Earth spins at about 1000 miles per hour (This is a general assumption for the sake of argument - actually how fast the Earth spins depends where you are on the planet). It is the spin of the Earth that gives us our days and nights. Therefore it is not so much a matter of how fast the Sun rises, but rather how fast our Earth spins in relation to the Sun since our planet remains at a fairly constant relative distance from our nearest star. To answer the question in general terms - the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West at about 1000 miles an hour.
A planet that has a rotation spins in the opposite direction as the earth?
Neptune
How fast is the rotation of the earth?
The earth spins at approx 1000 mile per hour. This is quite simple to calculate - the circumference of the planet is 24000 miles approx - and there are 24 hours in a day.
Which planet spins in its axis at a quarter mile per second?
earth
How fast does Saturn spin?
Saturn spins faster then earth
Why don't things fly off the surface of the earth when it spins at such a high speed?
1.Earth has Strong Gravity. 2.Earth doesn't spins so fast!
How does the planet Mercury's spins?
how does the planet mercury's spins?
Does your planet spin clockwise?
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Which planet spins the planet?
Venus is the slowest planet with a rotational speed of 243 Earth days equaling one Venusian day.
A planet that spins once ever 59 earth days?
1 Mercury day is 59 Earth days
Why would another planet have a shorter day than earth?
It's to do with the length of time a planet takes to spin, a planet that spins on its axis faster than the earth will have a shorter apparent day.
