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).

Meteors direction of orbit?

Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.


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.

Which direction is the ISS traveling with respect to earth?

The International Space Station (ISS) travels from west to east in a roughly circular orbit around Earth. This means it moves in the same direction as Earth's rotation, completing an orbit approximately every 90 minutes.

How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?

The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.


If you view our solar system from ecliptic north what is the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the orbit of Venus around the Sun Of the orbit of Earth around the Sun?

When viewed from ecliptic north, both Venus and Earth orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. This counterclockwise motion is consistent for all planets in our solar system, as they all orbit the Sun in the same direction due to the initial angular momentum of the solar nebula from which they formed.


What Direction is moons revolution?

If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.


How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?

A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.


How does the earth spin around the sun?

the earth spinds around the sun because gravity makes it orbit
