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.
What planet spins most slowly?
Venus spins the most slowly of any planet in our solar system. It takes 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis, which is longer than the time it takes for Venus to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Is the length of a day on Ceres the same as how long it takes for it to rotate on its axis?
Yes it is.That's the same for any planet or dwarf planet.A " day" is defined as the period of rotation.There are other definitions, but they are all very similar in most cases.
Do all moons rotate around their planet?
Yes, all moons rotate around their planets due to the gravitational pull exerted by the planet. This orbital motion is a result of the balance between the gravitational attraction of the planet and the moon's inertia. Additionally, most moons are tidally locked, meaning they rotate on their axis at the same rate that they orbit their planet, showing the same face to the planet at all times.
Is the planet mercury is the fastest planet to rotate?
No, Jupiter is the fastest planet to rotate about its axis. Mercury rotates very slowly (about 59 Earth days per rotation).
Which planet takes the most time to rotate on its axis?
The planet of our solar system with the slowest rotation is Venus, which takes 243 Earth days to make one full rotation on its axis. Unlike the other planets, it spins in a retrograde direction, or east to west. One theory is that it was struck by another planet-sized object early in its formation and lost most of its spin momentum. The combination of its 243-day spin and its 225-day "year" creates a solar day of about 116.75 days on Venus, with the Sun (if it were visible) rising in the west.
Which planet takes the longest to rotate?
Venus takes the longest to rotate on its axis, completing one rotation in about 243 Earth days. Interestingly, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation.
How often does planet Venus' revolve?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. It spins on its axis in the opposite way to most planets.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
Neptune rotates horizontally on its axis, like most other planets in our solar system. Its axis is tilted at about 28.32 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, causing it to have seasons similar to Earth.
What planet barely spins around its axis?
Mercury executes a complete, 360-degree rotation on its axis every 58.6 earth-days ... very roughly double the rotation period of earth's moon. We're unable to find a definition of 'barely' in our Glossary of Astronomical Terms.
Which planet rotate most rapidly?
The planet Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets and rotates the most rapidly. Depending on the latitude observed, a complete rotation only takes between 9.8 and 9.9 Earth hours.
Does Neptune rotate horizontally?
No, Neptune axis of rotation, like that of Earth is basically at right angles to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the planets rotate round the sun). It is Uranus that has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane the ecliptic, (i.e. its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators).
