The planet that rotates on its side?
Uranus, though unfortunately no one really knows why. Pluto also has a horizontal axis so it rolls on its side as well. However, Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet so Uranus is the only planet of the 7 that spins this way.
What planet spins on more than 1 axis?
that one over there -->
How does the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite work?
it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction as the Earth revolves on its axis so it is always fixed over the same point
What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?
Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.
When is the sun completally over Earth's axis?
It is completely over the axis when we have an equinox. Like the Fall and Spring equinox's.
This planet tilts over so far from its axis that it rotates on its side?
Thats planet Uranus.

What is the planet that tips over so far that it rotates on its axis?
All Planets spin on their axis, the axis by definition is the line that a planet spins about. Uranus, one of the four gas giants, is tilted on its side by 98 degrees. This is thought to have been a result from a collision long ago in the early solar system.
What does the earth rotate or spin on?
Its axis The earth rotates around its axis - an imaginary line running from the North Pole through the centre of the earth to the South Pole. It rotates around this line once every day. it is this rotation which causes day and night. axis
Over ther course of 24 hours the earth?
the earth rotates 360 degrees about its axis
What planet in our solar system rotates on its side?
Uranus. It is tipped over on its side at 98°
What planet spins on more than 1 axis?
that one over there -->
Which planet takes shortest time to spin?
Jupiter, despite being the biggest planet, has the shortest day. It takes Jupiter less than 10 hours to rotate around its axis once. Jupiter rotates at a speed of over 28,000 miles per hour, compared to Earth rotating at just over 1,000 miles per hour (at the equator).
How do you call it when a moon 1.rotates around itself 2.rotates around its planet and 3.rotates around the Sun at the same time it rotates around the planet?
A moon spinning on its axis is called Rotation. A moon going around its planet is called Orbiting. By Definition, all moons must be orbiting a planet. If the same body were on its own (say, if the Moon were orbiting the Sun without the Earth), it would be defined as a Planet. Thus, Question 3 is the same as Question 2. A planet's trip around the Sun is also called an Orbit. Because our Moon's orbit is so slow compared with our trip around the Sun (only 12 orbits per year), the Moon's path around the Sun would resemble a rounded, 12 sided dodecagon, and over several years would trace a path not unlike a Spirograph design.
What power do Earth movements have?
The Earth is a planet that rotates around the sun the solar system. The earthÕs moves on an axis and it moves eastward at a steady pace around the sun. The earth is self has power movement of plates which over thousands of years has created what we know of as our continents.
What may have caused Uranus' unique axis of rotation?
It spins on its side a 90 degree angle. Scientists think space debris or another planet hit Uranus.
How does the sun come upin the morning all over the world?
the eart rotates on its axis so therefore all the world spins and sees the sun so its bright in the morning
