This is due to temperature variations and the complex exchange of carbon dioxide between the Martian dry-ice polar caps and its CO 2 atmosphere.
As a result, Martian seasons vary greatly in duration than those on Earth, change roughly every six months, and do not start on the same Earth day every Martian year. Jupiter is another interesting case. Whereas the gas giant only takes 9 hours 55 minutes and 30 seconds to rotate once on its axis, it also takes alson This means that a year on Jupiter is not only the equivalent of 4, Much like Venus, Jupiter has an axial tilt of only 3 degrees, so there is literally no seasonal variation between the hemispheres.
In addition, temperature variations are due to chemical compositions and depths rather than seasonal cycles. Much like its fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn takes it time completing a single orbit of the Sun, but rotates on its axis very rapidly.
All told, a year on the planet lasts the equivalent of 10, Earth days or about 29 1? But since it only takes 10 hours, and 33 minutes to complete a single rotation on its axis, a year on Saturn works out to 24, Cronian days. Due to its axial tilt of almost 27 degrees slightly more than Mars , Saturn experiences some rather long seasonal changes.
But due to it being a gas giant, this does not result in variations in temperature. Combined with its distance from the Sun at an average distance of 1, Uranus has some of the strangest annual and seasonal variations of any planet in the Solar System.
But since the planet takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds to complete a single rotation on its axis, a year on Uranus lasts 42, Uranian days. This results in seasonal changes that are quite extreme, and unique to Uranus. In short, when one hemisphere is pointed towards the Sun i. In winter, the situation is reversed, with this same hemisphere experiencing 42 years of continuous darkness. So blood reallyis thicker than water! Sulfuric acid is Did you know that that scary acid is so syrupy?
So, forget molasses. Read more about Venus, the Planet of Paradox. From the beautiful stars and planets to magical auroras and eclipses, he covers everything under the Sun and Moon! Very interesting perspectives on movement in space and on earth. Makes me wonder: is there a viscosity number for a glacier? Skip to main content. You are here This Week's Amazing Sky. What's the Slowest-Spinning Planet? Venus, Saturn, and Molasses. By The Editors.
August 10, About This Blog. Tags orbits rotations. What do you want to read next? Their speeds vary, but Mercury is the fastest, followed by Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and then Saturn, the slowest. This motion is called direct motion. Grades series. Mercury is the smallest and fastest planet in the solar system. It is also the closest planet to the sun. It is named after the Roman messenger god Mercury, the fastest Roman god. Venus, which is floating higher each evening in twilight, low in the west, is the slowest-spinning body in the known universe.
The most distant planet in the Solar System is Neptune, which orbits the Sun at an average distance of 4. With an average temperature of minus degrees Fahrenheit minus degrees Celsius , Saturn is a pretty cool planet. Mercury is an extreme planet in several respects. Because of its nearness to the Sun—its average orbital distance is 58 million km 36 million miles —it has the shortest year a revolution period of 88 days and receives the most intense solar radiation of all the planets.
The Cassini spacecraft captured this exquisite natural color view a few days before entering orbit around Saturn. The average temperature on Venus is degrees Fahrenheit degrees Celsius.
