Why earth rotates only from west to east?
The angular momemtum of pretty much the whole solar system is in that direction. All the planets revolve that way, the sun rotates that way, and almost all of the planets rotate that way. Venus is the odd exception, and it rotates backward, but very slowly. The primordial stuff that eventually coalesced into the solar system was on average moving that way when it started, so that's the way it rotates still.
Earth rotates in which direction?
Every point on Earth rotates from west to east. If you hang suspended over the north pole looking down at it, you see the Earth rotating counterclockwise (from right to left). If you hang suspended over the south pole looking down at it, you see the Earth rotating clockwise (from left to right).
What way does a typhoon spin clockwise or counter-clockwise?
A typhoon in the northern hemisphere rotates counter-clockwise, in contrast to a typhoon in the southern hemisphere which rotates the other way (i.e., clockwise) as explained by the Coriolis effect.BR
Earth rotates on its what?
The Earth rotates on it's axis.
Does the blood flow clockwise or counterclockwise?
the oxygen-rich blood coming from the lungs enters the left atrium moves in anticlockwise to be distributed in the body
Which way does the earth move clockwise or anticlockwise?
anticlockwise
Why Clock rotates clockwise direction?
because the other way is anticlockwise
Does earth rotates anticlockwise?
Yes it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it true or false that hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise directions?
It is true that in the Northern Hemisphere, a hurricane rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise in British English).In the Southern Hemisphere, the hurricane rotates clockwise.
Is it true or false hurricanes rotate in a counter clockwise direction?
It is true that in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise in British English).In the Southern Hemisphere, the hurricane rotates clockwise.
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
What direction does the Earth rotate?
The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,since there's no east or west at them).
In what directions do earth rotate?
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Does the naruto whirlpool spin anticlockwise or clockwise?
anticlockwise
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
What planet rotates by retrograde motion?
Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
