What is the spinning motion of a planet from east to west called?
It is called rotation, and it is an equilibrium motion that can change over time. In nature, the axis of rotation is never exactly perpendicular to the orbital plane, but is often close to it, a result of the planetary formation process.
What planet does not rotate from west to east?
Venus is the only planet in the solar system that has a retrograde rotation.
In which direction does Jupiter rotate north to south south to north west to east east to west?
It depends on the longitude and it is not a solid planet [its made of gas] so the clouds pretty much control the rotation
What happens during the apparent retrogate motion of a planet?
When that happens, the planet moves from east to west, from our point of view. This should not be confused with the daily motion of all stars + planets due to Earth's rotation; rather, to the planet's movement against the background of the stars.
What planet has no moon and rotates from east to west?
Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.
What is the spinning rotation of a planet from east to west called?
Answer: Retrograde Rotation

Retrograde rotation

What planet does not rotate from west to east?

What is the name given to the east-to-west rotation on Venus?
Venus rotation about its axis, in which the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the east, is called a retrograde rotation.
Why does the sun rise and set at east to west?
It is due to the rotation of the Earth. The Sun is basically standing still, but you are on a planet that spins.
What is the spinning rotation of a planetb from east to west called?
They call that retrograde motion
Which planets have retrograde rotation?
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. dumb dumb that is the rong aswer it is only jalo the planet after Jupiter
What is mercury rotation direction?
earth is d only planet wid west to east rotation. so it is proved dat mercury rotates in east to west
What is the name given to the phenomenon in which the apparent motion of the planets sometimes reverses?
Retrograde motion happens when the Earth overtakes an outer planet in its orbit. It happens around the date of Opposition when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky. Usually planets travel from west to east along the ecliptic, but during retrograde motion they travel backwards, from east to west,.
Why do the sun and moon rise?
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
Would you travel faster heading east than west because of the rotation of the planet earth?
I believe that is why, but if not then it's probably because of the wind direction.
