What is the only planet that revolves clockwise?

There are two planets that rotate clockwise, i.e. with retrograde motion; Venus and Uranus.


How many planets rotate in the opposite direction of the others?

Relative to the orbital plane, only two major planets appear to rotate (spin) in a clockwise direction,Venus and Uranus.Of these two, only Venus has lost its what is assumed to be its original counter-clockwise rotation. Uranus only appears to rotate clockwise, as observed from above the orbital plane, because its North Pole was somehow knocked over by 98° to technically become its South Pole.


How many planets rotate clockwisegive the names?

There are two known planets in our solar system that rotate clockwise: Venus and Uranus. The rotation of these two planets is unique compared to the other planets in our solar system, which rotate counterclockwise.


What are the two planets that rotates clockwise?

Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate clockwise, also known as retrograde rotation, in our solar system. This means that their rotation is opposite to the majority of the other planets, which rotate counterclockwise.


What is the only planet in your solar system that rotates counter clockwise?

There are two, Venus and Uranus.


How are plus and minus used for direction?

Plus a minus in terms of direction usually mean forward (+) and backward (-). For instance, move two steps forward (+2), then three steps backwards (-3). They can also be applied to rotation, such that (+2) means rotate two radians clockwise while (-2) means rotate two radians counter-clockwise.


What planets spin differently?

No. They all rotate anti clockwise. The only planet viewed from the "north" that rotates clockwise is Venus. Because of their angle of tilt > 90O Uranus and Pluto could be said to have a retrograde rotation, but if you adjusted their "north pole" to the same direction as the rest of the planets they would also rotate anti clockwise.


How do you do the checkerboard pattern on the Rubik's Cube?

It's very simple. Just: Rotate the face up on the right two times. Rotate the face up on the left two times. Rotate the top face clockwise two times. Rotate the bottom face clockwise. Or in other words: R-R-Li-Li-F-F-Bi-Bi-U-U-Di-Di As You Can Do The Cube® says, it's actually called the Multicolored Cross. There are many other patterns, such as the Square in the Middle.


What two planets rotate differently?

Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with its axis almost parallel to its orbital plane, causing it to have extreme seasons.


What is the difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side?

The difference in elevation between two contour lines that are side by side is the contour interval. The contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines on a topographic map.


Contour interval is what?

the elevation difference between two adjacent contour lines.


Which planets rotate counter clockwise?

Most planets spin counter-clockwise in our solar system, the same direction as they orbit (as seen looking down from above the Earth's north pole); the exceptions are Venus which spins clockwise (i.e., retrograde or "upside down"), and Uranus which rotates pretty much on its side (about 98 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic).
