What is one way that Jupiters rapid rotation affects the planet?
Atmospheric flows are forced into belts and zones
What two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Jupiter's rapid rotation affects the planet by making it wider at the equator than at the poles. It also affects it by giving the planet its cloud bands.
Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?
The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.
The rapid rotation of the Earth an the chemical composition of the moon are best explained by?
C) a large impact early in Earth's development.
Why is the planet Saturn flattened?
Saturn's rotation causes its oblate shape. During rotation, Saturn is flattened at the poles and bulges in the middle. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest in the solar system.
What causes the belts and zones in Jupiters atmosphere?
The belts and zones of Jupiter result from the planet's convetion and it's rapid differential rotation.

What two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Jupiter's rapid rotation affects the planet by making it wider at the equator than at the poles. It also affects it by giving the planet its cloud bands.
The planet that is the most flattened by its spin?
The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.
Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?
The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.
Ingredients to make a planet magnetic?
A whole buttload of hot metal moving fast in the core of the planet. ****************************************************************** Here's a better answer: - Rapid rotation, and liquid conducting interior- electric charges move about= Strong magnetic field --You are welcome! - Hershey
How long does it take for it to rotate?
It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
Is Saturn a perfect sphere?
No. Like most other planets Saturn is what is called an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole. This is due to its rotation. Because of its low density and rapid rotation Saturn is the most oblate planet in the solar system.
What are words that describe Jupiter that starts with the letter R?
rapid rotation
How long does it take for Saturn to rotat?
It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
What causes equatorial bulge?
rapid rotation. A.K.A penis jerkin.
Jupiter's furious rate of spin causes what to happen?
Jupiter's rapid rotation rate causes its equator to bulge out and its poles to be flattened. It looks a bit like a squashed ball; the planet is seven percent larger at the equator than at the poles.
