How do planets rotate?

[gangadharhiremath]

The best short educational video on astronomy.I used to struggle imagining the rotation of planets.This gives a cristal clear idea about the planetary rotation.
Uranus rotation is really weird.

If you are wondering why Earth says 23h56m and not the 24h youd expect: 24h is the period between 2 consecutive mid-days. In this time the Earth has spun once about its axis, but also moved almost 1° in its orbit around the sun. So it has to rotate another almost 1° before the sun is in the same apparent position again. So in 24h, the Earth has to rotate about 361° and 360° takes 23h56m4s

Mars: Hey Earth, can I copy your homework?
Earth: Sure, just don't make it obvious
Mars:

[blank_rose]

Mercury:*just vibing and speeding around the Sun*
Venus:*is hanging upside down and hasn’t moved much in 100 Earth days*
Earth:”Mars stop copying me”
Mars:”I will if you throw your moon at me”
Jupiter &
Uranus:”They see my rollin, they hating”
Neptune:”There is something wrong with yall”

I'm sure a lot of people already know this, but the astronauts on the ISS experience a change in their circadian rhythm that matches Mars' day cycle instead of Earth's. That may not be important to anyone else but I personally think it's pretty damn cool.

Fun fact!: Jupiter is known as the fastest spinning planet in the solar system!
Another fun fact!: Mercury's orbit is short but his days are LONG!

🟤Mercury's rotation:58 days, 15.5 hours
🟡Venus's rotation:243 days, 26 minutes
🌍Earth's rotation:23 hours, 56 minutes
🔴Mars's rotation:1 day, 36 minutes
🟠Jupiter's rotation:9 hours, 55 minutes
🪐Saturn's rotation:10 hours, 33 minutes
🔵Uranus's rotation:17 hours, 14 minutes
🔵Neptune rotation:16 hours

Fun fact: a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus

Fun fact: The solar system is tilted 60 degrees above the plane of the Milky Way. That’s why the galaxy appears almost vertical in the sky when viewed in a remote location

Mercury and Venus: 🚶‍♂️🐢🐌👴

The other planets: 🔄🏃‍♂️⚡💨

Uranus: I have mastered the ways of rotating on my side. No one will stop me.

[lancecorporallevi]

Mars and earth are highly identical both in Goldilock zone, only if mars had magnetic field it would had life before Earth.

[maphzly]

Other planets: 🙂
Uranus and Venus: 🙃🫨

[ProfessionalBugLover]

venus and jupiter are literally the two people in every class that won’t stop beating each other up

[Final_SC]

earth: hey mercury, venus how do u rota-
venus:, we don't.

[krail]

If Mars had a moon as big as ours, it would have kept the planet warmer and kept its gravity strong enough to keep water from evaporating away.

"I swear bro, we only left you out because the animation wouldn't work with Nine".
Pluto: 😢

[GUSTAV.]

Other planets: rotating normally
Uranus: They see me rolling...
