What else can I help you with?
What is that planet that rotate on its side?
uranus
When we view from earth how does uranus appear to rotate?
On its side.
What does Uranus's tipped axis caused?
It causes Uranus to rotate on it's side ( in respect to the other planets in the solar system)
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.
What is unusual about the way that Uranus rotate what causes this?
It spins on its side a 90 degree angle. Scientists think space debris or another planet hit Uranus.
Which planet is tilted 90 degrees on its side?
Uranus is the planet that is tilted 90 degrees on its side, causing it to rotate on its side as it orbits the Sun. This unique tilt is thought to be the result of a collision with a massive object early in its formation.
Which planet rotate on it side like a barrel?
Uranus rotates on its side, unlike most other planets in our solar system which rotate on an axis perpendicular to their orbit. This unique tilt causes extreme seasons on Uranus, with each pole experiencing 42 years of continuous darkness followed by 42 years of continuous sunlight.
Which planet has the largest inclination?
Uranus has the largest inclination of any planet in our solar system, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially rotate on its side compared to the other planets.
How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?
If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.
Does Uranus rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
Uranus rotates on its side, so it appears to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above its north pole. This unique tilt is believed to have been caused by a collision with a planet-sized body early in its history.
How many hours for Uranus to rotate on its axis?
Uranus rotates on it's axis approximately every 24 and 37 minutes.
What direction do the planets turn on their axis?
Most planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, which is known as prograde rotation. However, Venus and Uranus have unique rotations; Venus rotates clockwise, or retrograde, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing it to rotate on its side relative to its orbit. This means that the direction of rotation can vary significantly among the planets.
