Which best describes the rotational motion of Uranus as it orbits the sun?
As Uranus orbits the sun, it rolls like a ball
All planets revolve in a counterclockwise motion?
Most planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This is known as prograde motion. However, Venus and Uranus rotate in a clockwise direction, known as retrograde motion.
Which two planets have Retrograde motion?
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.
Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?
Venus rotates clockwise on its axis (retrograde rotation) while Uranus rotates counterclockwise (prograde rotation) because of past collisions and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The exact reasons for their unique rotational patterns are still not completely understood by scientists.
What planet was predicted based on gravitational forces and newtons laws?
The planet Neptune was predicted based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, which led astronomers to deduce the presence of another planet influencing its motion. Using Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, astronomers calculated the position of Neptune, which was later confirmed through observation.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from the most other planets and moons?
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
Which best describes the rotational motion of Uranus as it orbits the sun?
As Uranus orbits the sun, it rolls like a ball
All planets revolve in a counterclockwise motion?
Most planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This is known as prograde motion. However, Venus and Uranus rotate in a clockwise direction, known as retrograde motion.
What is the only planet that revolves clockwise?
There are two planets that rotate clockwise, i.e. with retrograde motion; Venus and Uranus.
Which two planets have Retrograde motion?
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.
What direction is the orbital and rotational motion of most of the objects in the solar system?
To the east, but Venus and Uranus' rotation is to the west.
Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?
Venus rotates clockwise on its axis (retrograde rotation) while Uranus rotates counterclockwise (prograde rotation) because of past collisions and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The exact reasons for their unique rotational patterns are still not completely understood by scientists.
What two planets rotate retrograde to the sun?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate in a retrograde motion compared to their orbits around the Sun. This means their rotation is in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
What planet was predicted based on gravitational forces and newtons laws?
The planet Neptune was predicted based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, which led astronomers to deduce the presence of another planet influencing its motion. Using Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, astronomers calculated the position of Neptune, which was later confirmed through observation.
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 planet is tilted 17 degrees elliptical?
Uranus is the planet that is tilted at approximately 98 degrees, giving it a unique rolling motion as it orbits the Sun.
What is the planet that rotates by retrograde motion?
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
