== == Neptune rotates counterclockwise looking "down" on it from its "north pole" - just like earth is. It is rotating in the same direction that it is traveling around the sun. Its axis of rotation is inclined 28.32°, and it is important to note that because Neptune is a gas planet (it isn't solid), it exhibits what is called a differential rotation. A link to our friends at Wikipedia is provided, and a related question is also linked in.

∙ 14y agoNeptune orbits around the sun in the same direction as all the other planets. This is called a prograde orbit, or if you were way above the north pole looking down at the solar system, it would be counterclockwise.

∙ 12y agoNeptune like most of the other planets rotates in a prograde rotation - anti clockwise.
The exceptions are Venus and Neptune which rotate in a retrograde motion.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNeptune's rotational period on its axis takes roughly 16.11 hours, that would be one day.

∙ 11y agoto take neptune around the sun it takes 164.79 earth years. and on its axis it spins for 16 hours 6 minutes and 6 seconds(which is like one day)

neptunes size is 12% grater then the earth
What is Neptunes time to rotate on its axis?
Neptune's rotation period takes 16hours and 17minutes to rotate on its axis.
What is the difference of counterclockwise and clockwise?
Referring to the direction of rotation, a clockwise direction indicates rotation in the same direction as the hands move on the face of a clock. Counterclockwise rotation is in the opposite direction.
