Is the earth's rotation prograde or retrograde?
It is prograde. That's counterclockwise, viewed from above the North Pole.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
What is difference between prograde rotation and retrograde rotation?
Prograde rotation turns counter clockwise while retrograde rotation turns clockwise. ( As viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.)
What type of rotation does Neptune have?
No. The rotation of Neptune is not retrograde. Triton, Neptune largest moon, has a retrograde orbit.
What does the retrograde motion of neptune's moon Triton indicate about its origin?
Because Triton revolves around Neptune opposite its rotational direction it is considered retrograde. This indicates that it was likely a planetoid that was captured by Neptune's gravity rather than having formed in orbit around Neptune.
Does Eris have retrograde rotation or has prograde?
Prograde
Is Earth a retrograde or prograde rotation?
prograde rotation
Is Neptune retrograde?
No. All the planets in our solar system are prograde. At times it can appear retrograde when viewed from earth as an affect of our relative speed during certain times of our orbit.
Does venus rotate prograde or retrograde?
yes
Is mercury prograde or retrograde?
You are sure medicine is always new
Is the earth's rotation prograde or retrograde?
It is prograde. That's counterclockwise, viewed from above the North Pole.
What is the difference between prograde and retrograde?
Prograde motion is a counter-clockwise motion or west to east, retrograde motion is clockwise motion or east to west.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
What is difference between prograde rotation and retrograde rotation?
Prograde rotation turns counter clockwise while retrograde rotation turns clockwise. ( As viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.)
Which planets have retrograde rotation?
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. dumb dumb that is the rong aswer it is only jalo the planet after Jupiter
What is the definition of prograde motion?
Prograde means in the normal direction, defined as forwards. Retrograde means opposite to the normal direction, backwards.
What is the definition of prograde rotation?
Retrograde motion is the opposite of prograde motion.So, retrograde motion is where a body is moving in the direction opposite to the movement of something else. Not to be confused with apparent retrograde motion. [See related link]If you were on a child's roundabout and your friend was running alongside in the same direction you were spinning, that would be prograde. If however, your friend turned around and ran the opposite way, that would be retrograde motion. [See related link for a pictorial]In astronomy:The Earth and four other planets rotate in the same direction as the Sun does; Prograde.Venus and Uranus rotate in the opposite direction; retrograde.Do not confuse this with retrograde revolution, as no planet revolves in the opposite direction to the Sun.See related link for a full explanation.
