Do any moons spin while orbiting their home planet?

Yes, every moon spins on it's axis while it orbits. The Moon which orbits Earth spins, but because it is orbiting us at the same time we can only ever see on face of the moon. That's why there is the Dark Side of The Moon. I think you can see roughly 50.8% of the Moon's Surface on Earth.

How long does it take Venus to make one rotation on its axis?

Venus is unusual in its extremely slow rotation, taking nearly 243 Earth days to spin once on its axis (243.02 Earth days or 5832.4 Earth hours). Additionally, and probably related to this, it spins east to west, in a clockwise or "retrograde" rotation. The result is that Venus's "day" is shorter than its year (about 225 Earth days). The combination of the retrograde motion and its circling of the Sun means that someone on Venus's equator that might actually "see" the Sun would experience a solar day (sunrise to sunrise) of about 116.75 days (2802 Earth hours), with the Sun rising in the west.


Has anyone ever stepped foot on uranus?

No, nobody has ever landed on Uranus. It is a gas giant planet with no solid surface, so it is not possible for spacecraft or humans to land on it. The only missions that have studied Uranus have been flybys conducted by spacecraft like Voyager 2.

How many planets have you been to?

No human has ever been to another planet except the moon. These days the moon is not considered a planet but it was in ancient times. No human has ever been to Earth because that implies you're back from travel. We are all here already.


Why dont you ever see the far side of the moon?

The Moon is "tidally locked" to the Earth, so it spins at the same speed as it orbits the Earth - once per 27 days. So we always see the same side of the Moon - the "near side".

Is mercury the closest planet to earth?

It can be sometimes, but Venus can be closer than Mercury ever can; Mercury is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Mercury and Earth, and maybe not even then (depending on exactly where Mars is).
