Uranus' axial tilt is at 97 degrees. This means it orbits lying to it's side. Venus, the 2nd planet from the sun, appears to spin 'backwards.'

Because it rotates on its side as it orbits the sun. Its rotational axis is tilted at approx 98 degrees to its orbit.

How does the planet Jupiter looks like?

planet jupiter look like a ball, but its really huge.


How does the moon influence the earths axial tilt?

The moon stabilizes the Earth's axial tilt, like a counter balance. Picture someone swinging a bowling ball around their body, at the end of a 3 foot (1 meter) chain. If they get the ball spinning fast enough, they will have to lean back to counter the centrifugal force of the bowling ball. When the rotational velocity is stable, and the person's angle of leaning is stable, it is a suitable representation of the Earth-Moon system. The bowling ball is the moon, the person is the Earth.


How big does an object have to be to have gravitational force?

every thing has a gravitational force, the more mass however will increase the force for instance if i dropped a bowling ball it will fall tward the earth rather than the earth falling to it, but if that bowling ball was in space and for some reason there was a marble floating along it would be pulled tward the bowling ball. if you get on youtube sometime there is this seires that steven Hawkins did and he talks about gravity a little. also look up carl segan videos (i like his videos better)


Why is there day time and night time on mars?

Mars has day and night for the same reasons that Earth has day and night. Mars, like Earth, rotates on an axis. That means that the Mars is spinning like a top. As the planet spins, half of it is facing the sun, and the other half isn't. So the half that is facing the sun experiences daytime, and the other half has nighttime. The planet spins around so the the same half is facing the sun every 24.6 (almost 25) hours. This is the same way that we see night and day, except Earth spins a little faster, so we have a complete day and night every 24 hours.


What is the science behind the gravity of Earth?

There is a very easy analogy for how gravity works. Everything in the universe takes place within spacetime. Imagine spacetime as a trampoline. Where mass exists, spacetime becomes curved, just like a trampoline would become curved if one were to place a bowling ball on it. We as people fall down the curves made in spacetime, but the earth keeps us from falling any further, thus we are stuck to its surface. If one were to put a ping-pong ball on the trampoline, it would fall down the curve made by the bowling ball. It would stop once it hit the bowling ball, and be stuck to its surface. There are a few subtleties to this model that keep it from working perfectly, but this is basically how gravity works.

What object has greater density a balloon or a bowling ball?

There's going to be a greater density in the bowling ball, because its ALOT heavier and isn't hallow like the balloon.


Where can one have a King Pin bowling ball printed?

The question is hard to understand, but one could most likely have a bowling ball printed at the Kingpin bowling alley in St. Peter's. However, other companies exist that will print custom bowling balls like bowlerstore.

Does mars has it own axis?

every planet has it own axis and that's how it spins. Its like an invisible line going though the planet and like Uranus has a straight axis and every other planet has a tilt. That tells when the planet is in summer and or winter.


How could you carry out a demonstration on Earth of a feather falling at the same rate of a bowling ball?

You will need to add weight to the feather. That's like asking to demonstrate the that of a helium filled balloon and a bowling ball.
