Exp why earth spins like a top and uranus like a ball?
Answers
Earth spins like top because The earth is rotating around an rotational axis which is tilted23 degrees with respect to earth's orbit.
where as Uranus rotation is very different from earth.It rotates on its sides.
Because Uranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees. It is often described as " Rolling around the sun on its side"
earth spins like a top because its axis is slightly tilted to its orbit
on other hand uranus axis is tilted to large angle hence it appearsto rotate like a ball
OR
yes,actually..Uranus axis is tilted at an angle to the orbit hence while rotating earth appears to rotate like top it rotates like a ball..
