What do moons rotate on?
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
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 planets have moons?
Mercury and Venus don't have moons, the other 6 planets do, so that's 6/8 of the planets. If you feel like reducing it, that's equal to 3/4.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
Is the moon and sun a planet?
Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
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.)
Far above the earth's north pole the orbital motion of the planets is?
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
What fraction of the planets does not have moons?
Mercury has no moons, Venus has no moons, that is 2 Earth Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all have moons, that is 6 Therefore the fraction of planets with out moons in the solar system is 1/3
Does only the earth rotate on its axis?
No, all the planets, moons, asteroids and the sun do.
What do moons rotate on?
The moon rotates on its own geometrical axis. It revolves around the Earth.
Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from the most other planets and moons?
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
How is the rotation of venues different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.

Mercury and Venus don't have moons, the other 6 planets do, so that's 6/8 of the planets. If you feel like reducing it, that's equal to 3/4.

my face dahhh
