What three planets rotate backwards?
Both Venus and Uranus rotate on their axis in a clockwise direction when viewed from above their north poles, while all other planets spin anticlockwise. Pluto also spins clockwise, but is no longer considered a planet since its re-classification as a Dwarf Planet in 2006. (see the related question below)
What appears to move backwards among the stars?
Planets do that, during part of their 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!
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.
Why do some of the planets spin backwards?
Some planets may appear to spin backwards due to retrograde motion, where their rotation is opposite to the direction of their orbit. This can be caused by gravitational interactions or collisions with other celestial bodies, disrupting their original spin direction.
Which two planets spin backwards?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate in a retrograde direction, meaning they spin backwards compared to most other planets. Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a longer day than its year. Uranus, on the other hand, has an extreme axial tilt, causing it to roll on its side as it orbits the Sun.
What spin helps a basketball go in the net?
Backwards 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
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.
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)
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.
What is the planets spin on its axis?
rotation
Do planets spin by themselves?
Yes.
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.
