Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.
What would happn if the eart didn't rotate?
The earth would be a dead planet, with the side facing the sun very hot, and the side facing away from the sun very cold.
If planet y orbits the Sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on planet y?
If you mean a locked orbit like some "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, then the answer is; one side of the planet will haveendless daylight and the other side a never ending night. In other words its "solar day" would last "for ever". Comment: that's not what the question says. It's about having no rotation at all. In that (unlikely) case the "sidereal day" would be, technically, infinite. The "solar day" would equal the length of the planet's year.
The earth rotates from east to west on its on axis. is it true?
I'm not sure of what you mean but I think you got it right. Another way to describe it is if you are North of Earth, out in space, looking back, you would see Earth rotate counter-clockwise. If you were out in space from the South side of our planet Earth, you would see the Earth rotate clockwise.
If a planet orbits the sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on that planet?
That depends on what you're asking. If it has no rotation, as in, it faces a fixed point in space, the day and night would each be half the length of its orbital period, or year. For the Earth, that would be 6 months. However, that is pretty much impossible. What normally happens is that for various reasons, planetary rotation slows until one face remains tidally locked toward the star. In that case, one side has perpetual day, the other perpetual night. There's also a 3:2 resonance where the planet appears to rotate backward, like Venus.
What is that planet that rotate on its side?
uranus
Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.
How much Sun exposure does Mercury have the planet?
50%-50% ...... The planet does not rotate on its axis. Therefore, the side facing the sun receives complete sunlight .... while the opposite side of the planet is perpetually "dark".
Does Uranus rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
The axis of rotation for Uranus is on its side. Thus, instead of appearing to spin like a child's top, it appears more like a barrel roll! YEAH TOAST!!!
Which planet only shows one side to the sun?
there's no such thing, *-_- all the planets rotate so of course to show only one side the planet does not have to rotate! and since the last time i checked on space science all planets rotated T_T use your smarts dude
Does Jupiter rotate horizontally or vertically?
Only one planet rotates on it's side and Jupiter isn't it. Verticlally is my answer.
What would happn if the eart didn't rotate?
The earth would be a dead planet, with the side facing the sun very hot, and the side facing away from the sun very cold.
All the planets in your solar system rotate counterclockwise except for which planet?
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
Is Pluto a planet I need a yes side and a no side to this and info must be accurate.?
Pluto is not a planet. It is considered to be a Dwarf planet like Ceres, Eris, and Sedna.
How many years does mercury rotate?
It orbits the sun but does not rotate like Earth. One side is always hot and one is aways cold.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.
What planet looks like its floating on its side?
Earth
