Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
All the planets in your solar system rotate counterclockwise except for which planet?
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
Why is your solar system a counter clockwise system?
Since the sun rotates counter clockwise the planets also revolve counter clockwise.
What is the planet in your solar system that rotates clockwise?
Both Venus and Uranus have clockwise, i.e. retrograde, rotation.
In which direction would the winds in a low pressure system turn in the Northern Hemisphere?
A low pressure system in the northern hemisphere rotates counter-clockwise.
What is Venus rotation?
The axis of Venus is tilted 177.3 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic. This means that Venus rotates clockwise, instead of counter-clockwise, as viewed from the direction of Polaris. Its period of rotation is -243 days, making it the slowest rotating planet in the Solar System.
When viewed from the north pole the earth rotates on its axis from?
Counter-clockwise, from right to left. Almost everything in our solar system spins that way.
What is pro-grade rotation?
"Prograde" means "in the normal direction". Everything in THIS solar system rotates counter-clockwise, or CCW. Well, ALMOST everything; there are two planets whose rotation is "retrograde", which means "in the opposite direction". The planet Venus rotates - VERY SLOWLY! - in a "retrograde" or clockwise direction.
How do you use retrograde in a sentence?
retrograde is when a solar system object rotates clockwise while almost all other objects rotate counter-clockwise. "Venus' motion is retrograde in relation to the Earth's"
How does the rotation of Venus' differs from that of Earth?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise. It also rotates very, very slowly - taking 243 earth days to rotate once.
Which planet in our solar system is the only one to rotate in a different direction from the others?
There are actually 2 planets that are different. Venus rotates counter clockwise. (Sun rises in the West on Venus) Neptune is tilted so far over that it rotates on its side. Instead of a North and South pole, it has an East and West pole.
