What happens when a high pressure system moves in where a low pressure system already is?
Typically the area between the systems gets high winds because of the differences in circulation such as a high pressure spins clockwise and low pressure system spins counter clockwise.
Which way does a high pressure rotate?
High air pressure systems spin clockwise.
What is odd about Uranus spin?
Uranus is odd because it spins on it's side. Instead of spinning slightly off the vertical in a counter-clockwise position like the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins slightly off it's horizontal axis and spins clockwise.
Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.
What rotation does a planet have if it spins clockwise?
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".

Which way does a high pressure rotate?
High air pressure systems spin clockwise.
Describe the direction of wind rotation associated with a low-pressure system forming in south America?
Low pressure spins clockwise in south america. This is because air wants to flow from high to low pressure, but is deflected to the left. This results in a clockwise flow.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the sun orbit?
All but one planet in our solar-system spins clockwise, that is venus. All other spins counter-clockwise or cyclonically. The Sun also spins Cyclonically, so the Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun.
What is odd about Uranus spin?
Uranus is odd because it spins on it's side. Instead of spinning slightly off the vertical in a counter-clockwise position like the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins slightly off it's horizontal axis and spins clockwise.
Does earth move counter or clockwise?
The Earth spins Counter-Clockwise.
Is there anything unique about the way Pluto's spins on its axis?
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
Does earth spins to east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
Does your planet spin clockwise?
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.

Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?
NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.
