What else can I help you with?
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Which what is latitude?
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
Does Uranus rotate sideways on its axis?
Yes, Uranus is considered unique in that it rotates in a direction perpendicular to the rest of the planets in our solar system. Its poles are located where our equator lies, and its equator passes through where our poles lie.
Which planet sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun?
Uranus is the planet that sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun due to its extreme axial tilt of 98 degrees. This results in unusual and extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Are the Poles of Uranus are hotter than its equator?
Yess
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Does mercury have an equator?
-- If a planet spins, then it has a spin axis. -- If it has a spin axis, then it has poles. -- An equator is just the line made up of all the points that are midway between the poles. So if the planet has poles, then it has an equator. -- Mercury spins.
Does planet mercury have an equator?
Yes. Mercury rotates, like all the planets. So it has an axis of rotation and that defines the "poles" of the planet. The equator is defined relative to the planet's poles.
Which what is latitude?
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
What planet has flattened poles because it rotates so quickly?
Jupiter is the planet with flattened poles due to its rapid rotation. This fast rotation causes the planet to bulge at its equator and flatten at the poles.
Does Uranus rotate sideways on its axis?
Yes, Uranus is considered unique in that it rotates in a direction perpendicular to the rest of the planets in our solar system. Its poles are located where our equator lies, and its equator passes through where our poles lie.
Which planet sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun?
Uranus is the planet that sometimes has its poles pointed almost directly at the Sun due to its extreme axial tilt of 98 degrees. This results in unusual and extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Is it very stormy or calm in Uranus?
Wind speeds on Uranus range from 0 miles per hour at the poles to 240 miles per hour near the equator. Uranus is frozen therefore calm
Which planet has flattened poles?
Several planets are flattened at the poles. That just means the distance between the poles is less than diameter of the planet at the equator. Saturn is the most extreme example in our solar system, followed by Jupiter. Even the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. Astronomers call this "oblateness".
What is the shape of planet Saturn?
It is like sphere, but "flattened" at the poles. So the diameter at the equator is about 10% more than the diameter between the poles.
