What else can I help you with?
Is the motion of a planet traveling around the sun called a rotation or a revolution?
Orbit
What is the orbit of a planet called?
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
How do satellites stay up in space?
Satellites stay up in space due to how fast they are traveling. If an object is in motion around a planet at the correct speed it will orbit it without crashing towards the planet.
What is a planet's backward motion in the sky called?
A planet's backward motion in the sky is called retrograde motion. This occurs when a planet appears to move in the opposite direction in the night sky compared to its usual eastward movement.
What is ment by the rotation of planet?
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
What is ment by the rotation of a planet?
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.
What is a motion of a planet on its axis called?
ROTATION.
When a planet appears to stop in its orbit and move backwards this motion is called?
This motion is called retrograde motion. It occurs when a planet's motion in its orbit appears to reverse due to differences in orbital speeds and distances from Earth.
Is the path a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called a revolution?
Yes, the path a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called an orbit or revolution. It is the curved path followed by a celestial body as it moves in space due to the gravitational pull of another object.
The motion of a planet on its axis is called?
The motion of a planet on its axis is called rotation. This rotation causes day and night cycles on the planet as different parts are facing towards or away from the sun.
What is it called when a planet rotates counterclockwise?
Retrograde motion.
Traveling in a full circle around the earth is called?
Traveling in a full circle around the Earth is called circumnavigation. This term refers to the act of traveling all the way around a planet, typically by sea or air. Famous examples of circumnavigation include Magellan's expedition in the 16th century and the first solo non-stop circumnavigation by Joshua Slocum in 1898.
