What is the imaginary line around which a planet spins?
The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
What is the only planet that spins counter clockwise?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
Which planet spins sideways?
Uranus is the planet in our solar system that spins on its side. Its axis of rotation is tilted at a steep angle, causing it to appear as if it is rolling along its orbit around the sun.
Define orbit and axis of the planets?
The orbit of a planet is the path it follows as it travels around the sun. The axis of a planet is an imaginary line running through its center and around which it rotates. The tilt of a planet's axis relative to its orbit affects its seasons.
Which planet spins on a 97 degree angle to the vertical axis?
Mercury's axis tilt is 0°. Venus' axis tilt is 177.4°. Earth's axis tilt is 23.5°. Mars' axis tilt is 25.2°. Jupiter's axis tilt is 3.1°. Saturn's axis tilt is 25.3°. Uranus' axis tilt is 97.8°. Neptune's axis tilt is 28.8°. Pluto's axis tilt is 122.5°.
Which planet spins on a horizontal axis?
Uranus is the planet that spins on quite a significant tilt which makes its axis almost horizontal compared to its orbit around the Sun. This unique characteristic gives it extreme seasons where each pole faces the Sun for about 42 years at a time, causing dramatic temperature changes.
Which planets spins on its axis every 6 days and 10 hours?
Pluto, but its now no longer classed as a planet - its a `Dwarf Planet`
Which planet's axis is horizontal?
Uranus
What imaginary line around which a planet spins?
The axis
What are imaginary line around which a planet spins?
The axis
What is the imaginary line around which a planet spins?
The imaginary line around which a planet spins is called its axis. It is an invisible line that runs from the planet's north pole to its south pole and determines the direction of rotation.
What planet spins the third fastest on it's axis?
Jupiter spins the third fastest on its axis, with a day lasting about 9.9 hours.
What is the meant when a planet rotates?
When a planet spins on its axis it is said to rotate. (Think of a top.)
What Planet which almost rotates on a horizontal axis?
Uranus
What is detemined by how fast a planet spins on its axis?
The rotational period, or how fast a planet spins on its axis, determines the length of a day on that planet. A faster spin results in shorter days, while a slower spin leads to longer days.
What determines the length of day on a planet?
How long it spins on it's axis
Which planet spins on its axis every 16 hours and 7minutes?
Neptune
