Does Jupiter have a tilted axis?
Yes it does. The tilt is so large that the planet's rotational axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit.
What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
Which planet spins like a bowling ball?
because its axis is tilted
Which one of these planet completes its rotation in 59-60 Earth days venus mercury mars Jupiter?
Rotation means the planet spinning about it axis. (Orbit the the path of the planet round the Sun). The planet Mercury has a rotational period of 58.646 Earth days. The planet Venus has a (retrograde) rotational period of 243.0185 Earth days. The planet Mars has a rotational period of 1.025957 Earth days. The planet Jupiter has a rotational period of 9.925 hours. Obviously Earth has a rotational period of 1 Earth day.
Which planet in the solar system orbits with its equator nearly perpendicular to its orbit?
The planet is Uranus.
Does Uranus have a tilted axis?
Which is the only planet to orbit in a different direction?
none of them orbit in a different direction they all orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise rotation. you may be thinking of how they are tilted because only on planet is tilted nearly onits side: Uranus which is tilted at 98degrees
Does Jupiter have a tilted axis?
Yes it does. The tilt is so large that the planet's rotational axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit.
Which planet has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the others?
Uranus is has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the other planets. Uranus is basically tilted on it's side during orbit.
Which planet has a tiletd orbit?
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.
Does planet Uranus have physical properties?
The planet Uranus has faint rings, and the planet is tilted so the axis is nearly parallel to its orbit. The planet is a gas giant, which means that the planet is made of gases. And finally, the atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and helium.
What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
Is there any planet which have same rotational and revolution periods as earth?
No. Mars has a similar rotational period but not revolution. For a planet to have the same revolution period as Earth would mean it would have to be in the same Orbit as Earth, with catastrophic results. One was in the same orbit as Earth during it's formation, it crashed into the Earth creating the Moon. It's possible that some extrasolar planet (that is, a planet of a star other than the Sun) might by coincidence have nearly the same rotational and/or revolution period, but we don't know of any yet (and it's not very likely that we ever will).
What causes your planet to have sesons?
The Earth has seasons because it polar axis is tilted relative to its orbit.
Which planet spins like a bowling ball?
because its axis is tilted
What planet is not large enough to be called a planet?
The 3 attributes of a planet: 1. is in orbit around the Sun 2. is nearly round 3. has cleared its orbit
