What are the 2 planets that spin backwards?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that spin backwards compared to the majority of the planets in our solar system. Venus rotates in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing its rotational axis to be nearly parallel to its orbit.
Which two planets spin clockwise?
hi venus and uranus. venus spin very slow and is possibly explained by a collision in the early formation of our solar system. uranis however is up for grabs. its tillted 98 degrees and is basicaly on its side. research it. very interesting. cheers!
Do all planets spin?
Absolutely. Spin creates centrifugal force, which actually works against gravity. When a object on a planet spins with the planet, the spin of the planet is constantly trying to fling said object off into space, where as gravity is constantly forcing the object toward the spinning body. If the spin became so great that it overcame the gravitational pull, the object would be flung into space. While spin does not actually affect the gravity of an object, it can reduce the amount of gravity an object on the surface experiences.
How long does it take the planets to spin on their axis?
That depends on which solar system and planet you are asking about - we now know for planets orbiting other stars.
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
The outer planets are composed mostly of gases, which do not have a solid surface like the inner planets. This lack of solid surface allows the outer planets to rotate more quickly, as there is less resistance for their rotation. Additionally, the outer planets have more mass, which also contributes to their faster rotation.
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
What is the planets spin on its axis?
rotation
Do planets spin by themselves?
Yes.
Do any planets spin around?
Yes, all planets that we know of have at least some spin - their rotation on the axis being the planet's day. In our solar system Jupiter spins the fastest - with a day under 10 hours long.
Why does the sun spin on it's own axis?
Because It Has To Spin Like Planets Do
What makes the earth spin?
The spin of the Earth is residual from the formation of the solar system. The original "whirlpools" of matter started to spin as they orbited the sun due to the Coriolis force acting on them. This caused them to spin around the planets. his spin stayed after the planets firmed up into discrete balls
Do planets rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
They spin clockwise
What do the Sun and planets spin around?
The center of the galaxy.
Do all planets spin as they travel around the sun?
no
Describe the origin of the planets?
the planets originated from clouds of dust that spin on a disk shaped plain.
How does the conservation of angular momentum influence the expected spin of planets?
The conservation of angular momentum affects the expected spin of planets by causing them to rotate at a relatively constant speed as they orbit the sun. This means that planets are likely to have a consistent spin rate over time due to the conservation of angular momentum.
What makes the earth round?
The spin of the Earth is residual from the formation of the solar system. The original "whirlpools" of matter started to spin as they orbited the sun due to the Coriolis force acting on them. This caused them to spin around the planets. his spin stayed after the planets firmed up into discrete balls
