How long do it take uranus to rotate on its own axis?
== == Uranus sidereal rotation rate is 17 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds [See Link]
How often does Uranus spin on its axis?
Uranus spin is different from all the other planets. Instead of spinning like a top, it spins like a wheel. Its north and south poles stick out to the side. Scientists think Uranus spins this way because a long time ago a large object collided with Uranus and knocked it over.
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.
Which gas giant planet has the longest rotation?
Uranus. 17h 14m 24s for one spin on its axis.
What is the motion of Uranus?
Uranus orbits the Sun in an elliptical path, characterized by both orbital and rotational motion. Its axis of rotation is tilted on its side, causing it to appear to roll along its orbit rather than spin like most other planets. This unique motion gives Uranus extreme seasonal changes and a peculiar magnetic field.
What Is the Axis spin of Uranus?
97.77 degrees
What are the 2 planets that spin backwards?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that spin backwards compared to the majority of the planets in our solar system. Venus rotates in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing its rotational axis to be nearly parallel to its orbit.
How long do it take uranus to rotate on its own axis?
== == Uranus sidereal rotation rate is 17 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds [See Link]
Does the earth spin on its axis only?
If by spin you mean "rotate daily" then yes. But you could refer to our "orbit" as a spin around the sun. But if you want to refer to "spin" as any oscillatory/periodic motion of the earth, then we spin around our central axis, we orbit around the sun, we precess the rotational axis around a precession axis, our obliquity oscillates periodically and our eccentricity oscillates around the foci of our elliptic orbit which is near the center of the sun. These characteristics of our orbit are known as the Milankovic cycles.
How long does it take Uranus to spin once around its axis?
14.24 hours Even though Uranus is a much larger planet than earth, it spins faster because most of the planet is made of gas (smaller solid core can spin faster).
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
How is the axis of Neptune?
You perhaps refer to the "tilt" of the axis. Neptune has an spin axis tilted at about 28.3 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbit.

How many days does it take Uranus to spin on it's axis?
Uranus that rotates on its side takes 17 hours and 14 minutes (Earth Time).
Which gas giant planet has the longest rotation?
Uranus. 17h 14m 24s for one spin on its axis.
Which planet spins like a bowling ball?
because its axis is tilted
