What is the order of the planets rotation from fastest to slowest?

The order of the planets' rotation speeds from fastest to slowest is Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Earth, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury. This ranking is based on the time it takes for each planet to complete one rotation on its axis.


Where is a person standing if they experience a total solar eclipse?

When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset


What planet has the fastest revolution time?

Jupiter, its day is 9.84 Earth hours long. This is incorrect. Revolution refers to the years on a planet. So that statement would be correct if you were talking about rotation. As to the correct answer, I have no idea. if you dont have the correct answers than don't put in the wrong answer.


How long does it take for a planet to orbit the sun write the names of the plants in order from shortest to longest orbit time?

The time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun is known as its orbital period. The order of planets from shortest to longest orbital period is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury has the shortest orbital period of about 88 Earth days, while Neptune has the longest orbital period of about 165 Earth years.

How do the geocentric and the heliocentric descriptions of the solar system differ?

The geocentric view is the view of "Well, DUH!"; the one we can see happening all around us, even with (or ESPECIALLY with!) no scientific training. We see ourselves standing on the Earth, which clearly IS NOT moving, and the Sun and Moon rise and set. What, this isn't obvious? The heliocentric view requires an external viewpoint, a look at the bigger picture. The Earth IS spinning, even though we can't feel it or see it; careful instruments can measure it, and devices such as the Foucault Pendulum can make it obvious. It's the Sun that's standing still (well, it isn't, but that's another external viewpoint and an even bigger picture) and the Earth spinning to create days and nights. Careful measurement of the movements of the planets can clearly prove that the heliocentric view is easier to explain, but farmers generally don't measure the positions of the planets that accurately. We can use both. The geocentric view is accurate enough for most people, for most purposes. When you drive down the street, you don't REALLY need to calculate how fast the Earth is spinning in order to find your way to the grocery store, because the street is spinning at the same speed.

What is a doctors standing order?

A standing order is an order from a physician, usually for multiple items, that is entered and does not require any further communication from a nurse to the physician. For example, a physician may order immunizations as a standing order. When a patient is admitted to the hospital, those standing orders apply and a patient may receive the order without the nurse calling for a specific order on the patient.

How does earth's movement affect our solar system on time?

If the earth has traveled all the way around the solar system(around the sun) it has been a year. While is is doing that the earth it's self is spinning and all the way around is one day. While its doing that the earth is also tilting in order to change seasons. The earth has a big affect on our solar system.
