Uranus' unusual tipped over spin axis may have
resulted from it forming from a collision of two large bodies. Llanzlan Can someone describe a picture for me of how say for example two huge gaseous bodies that collide actually alter each other's spin axis and what not. I understand the huge pressures of gas and that the pressures increase as you go deeper into the planet, but still is it possible to alter the spin axis that much of such a huge gaseous body such as Uranus by another gaseous body? Also just for the hell of it, is there anything in our solar system that could actually go through one of those gaseous planets and I mean like some huge body? I am guessing not and it seems like a stupid question, but here on Earth it just doesn't go hand in hand like that, that a gaseous bodies have strengths of those made of metals and so on. Anyhow carry on and I'll cut my ranting. |
