What else can I help you with?
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.
Do all moons orbit their planet anticlockwise?
No, not all moons orbit their planets anticlockwise. The direction of a moon's orbit depends on various factors, including its formation history and the dynamics of the planetary system. While many moons in our solar system do orbit in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above their planet's north pole, there are exceptions, such as Triton, Neptune's largest moon, which orbits in a retrograde direction.
What Direction is moons revolution?
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
Do Mar's moons revolve around Mars?
All planets moons revolve around their planet, no matter how many moons the planet has. Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, mean fear and terror.
Which planet has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons?
Neptune has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons. This moon is called Triton and is the largest moon of Neptune.
What is the moons two motions?
Rotation and Revolution.
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.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
Has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons?
Neptune does.
What planet has no satellites and a retrograde revolution?
Venus is the planet that has no natural satellites (moons) and rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it rotates clockwise when viewed from above its north pole. It is unique as most other planets in our solar system rotate in a prograde direction.
How do you use the moons movement and phases to tell time?
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution
Explain the Moons period of rotation versus period of revolution.?
They are precisely equal.
What planet has a moon that revolves in the direction opposite to all its other moons?
earth
What planet Has a moon the revolves in the direction opposite all its other moons?
earth
What planet rotates in the opposite direction of other planets and moons?
my face dahhh
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.
