What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?
The seasons are caused by the tilted axis and orbit. The axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
What is the four-letter word meaning the major axis of an elliptical orbit?
The major axis of an elliptical orbit is also known as an apse line.
Who is the astronomer who discovered planets follow elliptical orbit?
discovered follow
Is neptune the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to its orbit?
The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
How long does earth take to orbit on its own axis?
earth takes 24hours to orbit on its axis
What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
How long does Mercury take to orbit on it's axis?
The question is confused: a planet orbits around the sun or it rotates (spins) on its axis. It does not orbit on its axis.
What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?
The seasons are caused by the tilted axis and orbit. The axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
How long does it take Jupiter to orbit its axis?
0 days 9 hours 56 minutes in Earth Time by the way it is a complete rotation on its axis, not to orbit on its axis.
How long does earth take to orbit around its axis?
It does NOT orbit on its axis, but rotates on its axis. It takes 24 hours, one day, to make one complete rotation. However, It does ORBIT the Sun. It takes the Earth 365.25 days, one year, for make one complete orbit of the Sun. Whilst it is making this orbit it is also rotating on its axis, as above.
What is the four-letter word meaning the major axis of an elliptical orbit?
The major axis of an elliptical orbit is also known as an apse line.
How long does mars take to get to orbit?
It depends if it is an orbit around it's axis or an orbit around the sun. Heres the answer for both: Sun Orbit: 687 Earth Days Axis Orbit: 687 Earth Days The funny thing is that their both still the same :)
What is the earths axis parallel to?
orbit of the moon
What is the level on which the planets orbit the sun?
axis
What are all of the planets doing as they orbit the sun?
well they rotate on their axis as they orbit the sun
Kepler discovered that the orbit of each other planet is?
He discovered that avery planet has a ellipcial orbit, which means oval.
