What else can I help you with?
Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
Why can't you see all Jupiter's moons through a telescope?
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
What objects other than the earth rotate?
Many celestial objects, like planets, moons, stars, and galaxies, rotate on their axes. This rotation causes phenomena like day and night on Earth, and changes in visibility of certain parts of celestial bodies.
How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
Objects rotate around what?
Moons.
How may moons does the sun have?
None. The sun is a star, and no moons rotate around stars.
Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
Does only the earth rotate on its axis?
No, all the planets, moons, asteroids and the sun do.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from other planets and moons?
Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
What are natural satellites that rotate around other larger celestial bodies called?
Mainly moons.
Why can't you see all Jupiter's moons through a telescope?
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
What is an acrostic for astronomical?
asteroid stars telescope rotate orbit nebula orion moons inferior planets constellation atmosphere light year
Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?
No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from the most other planets and moons?
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
What is an acrostic poem for astronomical?
asteroid stars telescope rotate orbit nebula orion moons inferior planets constellation atmosphere light year
