Why is Uranus' orbit peculiar?
Uranus rolls around the sun like a ball while all the other planets spin.
Does Uranus spin the wrong way?
Yes it does. "Wrong ???' Try different from most of the other planets.
Venus and Uranus spin in what direction of the other planets?
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?
Venus and Uranus spin awkwardly compared to the other planets in the solar system. It all comes down to when the solar system and the planets were formed, they were averagely hit at a certain angle causing Venus to rotate in reverse axis and Uranus to rotate on it side axis.
What two planets spin the opposite way?
Venus and Uranus?
What are the 2 planets that spin backwards?
There is only Venus, and Uranus. Both spin opposite direction of Earth.
What is the only planet that rotates in a different direction than the other ones?
Uranus. Its spin is tilted 90 degrees to that of all the other planets.
Do all planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction as seen from far above the Earth's north pole?
This is known as prograde rotation, all of the planets spin in this direction apart from Venus and Uranus. Venus and Uranus spin clockwise when viewed from above the north pole, this is known as a retrograde spin.
How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?
If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.
Which two planets spin clockwise?
hi venus and uranus. venus spin very slow and is possibly explained by a collision in the early formation of our solar system. uranis however is up for grabs. its tillted 98 degrees and is basicaly on its side. research it. very interesting. cheers!
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
Does Uranus spin like a spinning ball?
Yes, all planets spin like spinning balls, some faster than others, however.
