Does the sun spin around its axis?
yes
Do planets near the sun spin faster or slower than planets away from the sun?
The gas giants, the four planets farthest from the Sun, do spin faster than the inner planets. However, rotational speed has almost nothing to do with the distance a planet is from the sun. Having said that, both the Sun and the Moon are responsible for the tides of the oceans which are still slowing the Earth down ever so slightly. The extremely slow rotation of Venus would have had other causes. The rotational speeds of planets are the product of 4½ billion years of events. The angular momentum of the protostellar disc would have been transferred to growing planets. In the case of the gas giants, the tidal effects at their great distance from the Sun are extremely small compared to their masses. So they are still spinning vigorously. Even Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is not rapidly losing its spin.
Who snared the sun in Maori mythology?
In Maori mythology, it was the demigod Maui who snared the sun. Maui wanted to slow down the sun's relentless pace, so he wove ropes from flax and set a trap to ensnare the sun, causing it to briefly slow its journey across the sky.
Why does it seem that the sun is moving?
The sun does not move at all. In fact, the Earth is moving around the sun. The Earth, and thus it appears that the sun, moves at a constant rate. The reason the sun appears to set faster is because the surface of the ocean is relatively flat and does not allow for the sun's rays to linger by reflection or illumination with topographical features.
How long does it take the sun to rotate or spin on axis is a complete revolution or 360 degrees at the equator?
Yes, except that because the sun is gaseous, the time taken at different latitudes is different.
Does Mercury spin fast?
No. While Mercury orbits the sun at a very high speed, its rotation is very slow.
Does Saturn spin fast or slow?
It spins slow
Do tornadoes spin slow?
No they spin very very fast
Does the sun spin round?
no it does not spin round
Do the sun or moon spin?
Yes. (They both spin.)
Why doesn't the sun spin?
The sun does spin. It completes a rotation once every 25 days.
Does the sun spin?
yes it does
How does the sun spin?
The Sun spins because of Gravitiy!
When was Another Spin Around the Sun created?
Another Spin Around the Sun was created on 1999-04-27.
What way does the sun spin?
the sun spins clock wise
Why does the sun spin on it's own axis?
Because It Has To Spin Like Planets Do
What does earth spin around?
The sun.
