What is prolate planets?
Prolate planets are planets whose shape is elongated due to their fast rotation, causing them to be wider at the equator than at the poles. Examples of prolate planets in our solar system include Jupiter and Saturn. This shape results from the combined effects of the planet's rotation and gravitational forces.
What is the spinning of planets on its axis?
rotation
What is the dominant mode of rotation of the planets called?
The dominant mode of rotation of planets, where they rotate counterclockwise on their axis as viewed from above the North Pole, is called prograde rotation.
Type of rotation of planets or moon that has a counter clockwise spin?
Counter clockwise rotation is also known as retrograde rotation. This type of rotation is less common and can be seen in some planets and moons, such as Venus and Uranus.
Which planet rotate in retrograde motion?
Uranus and Venus are the two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation. All of the planets orbit the Sun.

What force keeps the planets in rotation?
The force that keeps all of our planets in rotation is gravity.
What unusual about Venus rotation?
its rotation is opposite of all the other planets.
What are the planets axis of rotation?
22512
What is the spinning of planets on its axis?
rotation
What is the planets spin on its axis?
rotation
Which two planets have the same rotation?
Earth and Mars are the planets in this solar system with similar rotation speed of approximately 24 hr.
Which planets orbit in a retrograde rotation?
Venus and Uranus are two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction of their orbit around the Sun. This retrograde motion is quite unique compared to the other planets which have a prograde rotation.
What is the time of revolution the planets?
The period of rotation for each of the planets is as follows - the sidereal rotation (rotation time against background stars); PlanetSidereal rotational periodMercury58.646225Venus-243.0187Earth0.99726957Mars1.02595675Jupiter0.41007Saturn0.426Uranus-0.71833Neptune0.67125

The dominant mode of rotation of planets, where they rotate counterclockwise on their axis as viewed from above the North Pole, is called prograde rotation.
What is the effect of the fast rotation of earth on its axis?
The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).
Do all planets turn?
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
