ROTATION.
A planet rotates (spins) about its own axis, giving rise to its day. Earth's day is about 24 hours. This motion is distinct from the orbital motion (revolution about the Sun) which is the planet's year.
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
It is called planetary rotation.
A planet's backward motion in the sky is called retrograde motion. This occurs when a planet appears to move in the opposite direction in the night sky compared to its usual eastward movement.
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
The motion of a planet on its axis is called rotation. This rotation causes day and night cycles on the planet as different parts are facing towards or away from the sun.
They both spin on an axis.
The turning motion of an object on its axis is called rotation.
The rotation of a planet occurs on an imaginary axis that extends from the planet's north pole to its south pole. This rotational motion on the axis causes the planet to spin, resulting in the cycle of day and night.
A planet spinning on it's axis is called rotation
A planet completing one full rotation on its axis is called a "day." This is what determines the length of a day on that planet.
A planet rotates (spins) about its own axis, giving rise to its day. Earth's day is about 24 hours. This motion is distinct from the orbital motion (revolution about the Sun) which is the planet's year.
Rotation.
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
It is not. Saturn is called the "crowned planet" because of it's ring.Uranus is called the tipped planet because its axis of rotation is 89° to the ecliptic (the Ears axis is 23,5° to the ecliptic)
