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.
What planet spins on nearly a horizontal axis?
Uranus spins on a nearly horizontal axis, tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout its orbit.
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`

What is the imaginary line around which a planet spins?

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 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.
Which planet spins on its axis every 16 hours and 7minutes?
Neptune
What determines the length of day on a planet?
How long it spins on it's axis
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.
Does your planet spin clockwise?
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Does mercury have an equator?
-- If a planet spins, then it has a spin axis. -- If it has a spin axis, then it has poles. -- An equator is just the line made up of all the points that are midway between the poles. So if the planet has poles, then it has an equator. -- Mercury spins.
