The invisible line in which the object rotates or spins is called an axis, which runs through its center of mass. Every planet in our solar system rotates on its axis and has their own North and South Poles, where an axis meets the planet's surface.

The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane around the sun. This gives the Earth it's season, depending on the location and the amount of sunshine it receives from the sun.

Just like Earth, Saturn's axis is also tilted at an angle of about 26.7 degree that also gives the planet its season.

Meanwhile Mercury is known to have the smallest tilt compared to any of the planets in our Solar System. It has an angle of about 1/30 degree and because the planet is gravitationally locked with the Sun in a 3:2 spin orbit-resonance, it's rotation is also unique to the Solar System.

On the other hand, of the four planets being considered, Uranus rotates on an axis that is about 98 degrees away from the line perpendicular to its orbit and (only a few degrees out of parallel to its orbit.).

Is this accurate? Somalia is 233 miles northeast of Ethiopia, while Salalah, Oman is 385 miles northwest from Yemen.
zzz [600]

Somalia is 233 miles northeast of Ethiopia - False;

Salalah, Oman is 385 miles northwest from Yemen - False;

The distance between the two East African nations of Somalia and Ethiopia is actually 0 miles. The reason for that is that these two countries share a border, thus there is no distance between their territories, apart from the imaginary line that is the border.

Salalah, Oman is 384 miles away from Yemen, but it is not toward the northwest, instead it is toward the northeast. Oman as whole is located on the northeast of Yemen, thus Yemen comes to located southwest of Oman.

• You need to write a paragraph solving either land, air, or water resources
melisa1 [442]
One resource that I would save would be air. Air pollution is a big problem nowadays because it has effects on human health, can damage crops in a various ways, can cause global warming, climate change, and much more. we can reduce air population by buying vehicles that have greater fuel efficiency, turning off lights when they’re not in use, buying fewer things that are manufactured using fossil fuels, recycle, and try to use eco-friendly products.
