Can a planet ever change it's way in orbit?
This is very unlikely. However, some planets, like Venus and Uranus ROTATE "backwards" (they do not spin the same way as the other planets). Some scientists think that Venus rotates backwards because a large meteor may have slammed onto it's surface so hard, it changed Venus's rotation. About one third of the moons in our galaxy rotate backwards, as well.
Does the sun spin Or just the planets?
The sun spins.
What celestial object moves backwards among stars?
planets
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
because of the way rock and debris hit them they spin faster
How does a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
They both spin on an axis.
Venus and Uranus spin in what direction of the other planets?
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
Why do some of the planets spin backwards?
It was not because of a "Big Bang". The Conservation of Angular Momentum proves that. Hmmm, maybe there's a divine creator?
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 evidence provides support for the nebular theory?
.can't explain the origin of the cloud .how would cloud stick together? .some planets and moons spin backwards
What spin helps a basketball go in the net?
Backwards spin
What causes an engine to spin backwards?
backfiring.
Why does a car move forward while traveling on a road even though its wheels are equipped to spin backwards?
The wheels only appear to spin backwards.

Do planets spin by themselves?
Yes.
What is the planets spin on its axis?
rotation
Why does the sun spin on it's own axis?
Because It Has To Spin Like Planets Do
How many god or goddess were named after stars and planets?
You have that backwards. The planets were named for the gods.
