Which planet has imaginary line around which a planet spins?

The imaginary line around which a planet spins is known as its axis. All planets, including Earth, have an axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. This axis is tilted at various angles for different planets, influencing their seasons and climate patterns. For example, Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees.


Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?

Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.


What is unusual about the rotation of Uranus?

Unlike the other planets, Uranus' axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbital plain. All the other planets' axis of rotation are almost perpendicular to their orbital planes.So most planets can be visualized as spinning like tops on a table, where the table is the plane of their orbits. Uranus would be visualized as rolling on its side as it moves around its orbit.it spins sidewaysIt spins sideway.


Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?

NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.


What is odd about Uranus spin?

Uranus is odd because it spins on it's side. Instead of spinning slightly off the vertical in a counter-clockwise position like the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins slightly off it's horizontal axis and spins clockwise.

How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?

If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.


What planet spins fasient on its axis?

In our solar system, Jupiters spins fastest of all planets - just under 10 hours to complete a revolution (one day).


Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?

Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.


How does the earth spin around?

Earth spins around its axis(or imaginary line from the north pole to the south pole) by gravity from earth itself and the surrounding planets.

How do the sun and the moon move in the universe?

the sun doesn't move. the planets rotate on the suns axis. the moon spins on the eath axis and takes 28 days to do so. this creates a month.
