If planet y orbits the Sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on planet y?
If you mean a locked orbit like some "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, then the answer is; one side of the planet will haveendless daylight and the other side a never ending night. In other words its "solar day" would last "for ever".
Comment: that's not what the question says. It's about having no rotation at all.
In that (unlikely) case the "sidereal day" would be, technically, infinite.
The "solar day" would equal the length of the planet's year.
What else can I help you with?
What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
Which planet does not rotate on a top to bottom axis?
Venus is the planet that does not rotate on a top to bottom axis like the other planets in our solar system. It rotates in the opposite direction, from east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation.
Are there any planets that do not spin?
Yes. The moon rotates in relation to the stars, so it has an axis of rotation.
What is a planets axis?
A planet's axis is an imaginary line that runs through its center, connecting the North and South Poles. The tilt of this axis is responsible for the changing seasons on the planet as it orbits the sun.
What makes the moon a satellite?
The moon is considered a natural satellite of Earth because it orbits around Earth as part of Earth's gravitational system. Satellites are typically objects that orbit around a larger celestial body, like a planet, in this case, the moon orbits around Earth.
Which planet rotate on in axis?
All the planets rotate on their axes and it would be a very unusual thing to find a planet that did not rotate.
What is different about how the planets rotate on there axis?
Unlike their orbits around the sun - which was inherent in the way the planets were formed - their rotation speeds and axis of rotation is random and is dependent on each planet's history of collisions.
Does mercury orbit or rotate?
It does both. It orbits the sun and rotates on its axis.
Does planet mercury rotate about its own axis?
Yes, Mercury does rotate about its own axis. However, its rotation is unique in that it is in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, meaning it rotates on its axis three times for every two orbits around the Sun.
Which one goess around an axis which one goes around an orbits?
"Rotate" on an axis. "Revolve" in an orbit.
Does Every planet rotate on its axis?

What is the meant when a planet rotates?
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)
