When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does vortex spin counterclockwise?
A vortex can spin either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
Do tornadoes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
Yes. The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise.
What direction does the moon rotate in?
Counterclockwise. All objects in space spin counterclockwise except Venus because it is was to believed to be hit by a large object that changed its spin.
A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has?
It has a retrograde rotation.
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.

Does vortex spin counterclockwise?
A vortex can spin either clockwise or counterclockwise.
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
Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
How does a moon's motion compare to a planet's motion?
They both spin on an axis.
What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
What are the directions of the orbits of the moon and earth?
Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. Similarly the Moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. From the same vantage point, the Earth, Moon and Sun also rotate on their axes of spin in a counterclockwise direction.
Which planet rotates counterclockwise?
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).
