What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
A planet completing one full rotation on its axis is called a "day." This is what determines the length of a day on that planet.
What is the responsible length of one day?
The planet's rotational period is the only thing that determines the length of one day. (mostly - it also is dependent on how fast the planet orbits the sun. If it orbits quickly, the "day" will be measurably less than the time for one full rotation.)
What location always has the same length of day?
Everywhere: the length of the day is always 24 hours irrespective of latitude & longitude since the angular rotation of the planet is 360º per 24hours. The DAYLIGHT length changes seasonally and proportionally to latitude, but the DAY length is constant.
What factors would affect the length of the day?
The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.
What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
Does each planet have the same length of day?
No
Why does the length of the day and night vary from planet to planet?
Because of the difference in speed of rotation of each planet.
What planet length in day is close to the length of earths day?
Mars.
What planet's length of its day is close to the length of Earth's day?
Mars
How do you work out the length of 1 year for each planet?
Take the length of the planet's orbit, divide it by the speed at which the planet is orbiting and VOILA! The "year."
What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
A planet completing one full rotation on its axis is called a "day." This is what determines the length of a day on that planet.
What is the relationship between the length of a planet's day and the rate of planet's rotation?
The length of a planet's day is directly related to its rate of rotation on its axis. A faster rate of rotation results in a shorter day, while a slower rate of rotation leads to a longer day. This relationship is determined by the planet's mass and distribution of mass.
What would you define the length of a planets day?
by the rotation of the planet
What movement of the planet makes one day as a unit of time?
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
Is this true or false the length of a planet's year is determined by how fast it spins?
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
What is the length of day for earth?
er..24 hours... what planet do you live on?
Which planet has a day almost the same length of time as earth?
mars
