What is the relationship between the length of a planet's day and the rate of planet's rotation?
The length of a planet's day is directly related to its rate of rotation on its axis. A faster rate of rotation results in a shorter day, while a slower rate of rotation leads to a longer day. This relationship is determined by the planet's mass and distribution of mass.
What would happen if the earths rate of rotation decreased what would increase?
The length of the day
What movement of the planet makes one day as a unit of time?
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
Is this true or false the length of a planet's year is determined by how fast it spins?
False, the speed it spins on it's axis determinds the length of day. The speed it rotates the sun determinds the length of it's year.
Which planet's day is closest in length to its year?
The planet Mercury has a day that is almost the same length as its year. Mercury's rotation period is about 59 Earth days, which is very close to its orbital period around the Sun of about 88 Earth days. This means that one day on Mercury is almost as long as one year on Mercury.
What planet's length of its day is close to the length of Earth's day?
Mars
The length of its day is close to the length of earths day?
Mars has a day of 24 hours 39 minutes and 35 seconds
What is earths day length?
24 hours.
Which planet has a rotation almost the same length as an earth day?
Mars is pretty close, at about 24 hours and 37 minutes.
What does earths latitude have to do with the length of the day?
i dont know yet
Does each planet have the same length of day?
No
What effect have tides had on the length of a day?
The tides are slowing the earths rotation and making the day longer.
What is it called when a planet complete spin on its axis?
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.
Why does the length of the day and night vary from planet to planet?
Because of the difference in speed of rotation of each planet.
What is the relationship between the length of a planet's day and the rate of planet's rotation?
The length of a planet's day is directly related to its rate of rotation on its axis. A faster rate of rotation results in a shorter day, while a slower rate of rotation leads to a longer day. This relationship is determined by the planet's mass and distribution of mass.
What would you define the length of a planets day?
by the rotation of the planet
What would happen if the earths rate of rotation decreased what would increase?
The length of the day
