What else can I help you with?
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?
The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.
Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Is earths distance the same from the sun year round?
the scary thing is that it doesent. The weirdest thing of all, is when the northern hemisphere experiences winter, thats when the earth is closest to the sun. Luckily the earth remains well withing the ''Goldilocks Zone'' the whole orbit, or else we would all be dead. The Earths orbit of more of an oval shape than anything. The most scary fact of all is that the Earth does not orbit in the same elliptic plane. As its meeting point for a full years rotation moves slightly clockwise. Meaning that we are not completing the same orbit as the people in the Egyptian Era did.
What would happen if the Moon's orbit were completely in the same place as the Earths orbit around the Sun?
Your question isn't very clear. The moon revolves around the earth so it essentially has the same orbit around the sun.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
How does UK get four different seasons?
The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.
Do all the planets in the solar system rotate in the same direction as they orbit the sun?
Yes. All the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. Although, they do not orbit at the same speed, they all orbit in the same direction. The terrestrials (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) orbit at a much faster rate due to their distance from the sun. The Jovians (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) circle the sun much slower because they are much further away.
