JAKARTA – The planets of the solar system revolve around the sun. Each planet has a different rotation.
Evidence of the rotation of the planets in our solar system is the existence of day and night. One rotation of the planet around the sun equals one day.
There are eight planets in our solar system that revolve around the sun. Pluto is no longer considered in the solar system due to its small size and distance.
So which plate has the fastest spinning in our solar system? Here is the explanation:
The 8 fastest rotating planets in the solar system
1. Jupiter
Jupiter is the first planet with the fastest rotation in the solar system, with a time of 9 hours and 55 minutes.
Jupiter is also the most visible planet in the terrestrial sky after the Sun, Moon and Venus.
2. Saturn
The second largest planet after Jupiter is Saturn. Also, the planet is famous for its beautiful rings.
Saturn has a rotation of 10 hours and 33 minutes around the Sun.
3. Neptune
Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun. This planet is famous for its very cold temperatures.
Neptune takes 16 hours to complete 1 day.
4. Uranus
Often compared to Neptune, Uranus is also a cold planet and is known as an ice giant.
In 1 day Uranus takes 17 hours and 14 minutes.
5. Earth
Furthermore, the only planet that has life is Earth. Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun and 70% of the Earth is covered with water.
The Earth takes 24 hours, to be precise 23 hours and 56 minutes in a day.
6. Mars
This planet is known as the Red Planet, in fact Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system.
Even so Mars can be seen from the earthly sky. Mars spends 24 hours and 36 minutes in rotation.
7. Mercury
The planet closest to the sun is called Mercury.
It is also the smallest planet in the solar system.
Despite being the closest to the Sun, Mercury has the second longest rotation of 58 days and 16 hours.
8. Venus
Venus is the planet with the longest rotation. Venus is also said to be visible from the earth’s sky and this planet has the hottest surface temperature of up to 464 degrees Celsius.
It takes 243 days for Venus to rotate.
This is the order of the 8 fastest spinning planets in the solar system.
Of course the above information has been tested by NASA and studied in the field of geography.
