Does Mars orbit around the sun the opposite way of other planets?
No, Mars goes the same way as the other planets. From your favorite 6th grader:)
What way is a moon similar to a planet?
It spins around the earth on an axis like how the planets spin around the sun.
What is unique about the rotation of Venus?
Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.
What planet rotates wrong way?
Venus rotates clock-wise, not like all the other planets who spin counter clock-wise.
How many ways are there to arrange 2 electrons in p-orbital and d-orbital?
In any one orbital there is only one way to arrange the two electrons and that is with opposite spin. (Paulis exlusion principle) In the 3 different p orbitals you could arrange 2 electrons without spin pairing in the same orbital in 3 ways, The middle two are the same. The same applies to d orbitals
Which way do the propeller spin on coaxial helicopters?
The two rotors spin in opposite directions.
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
because of the way rock and debris hit them they spin faster
Which planet rotates in the opposite direction from most other planets and moons?
Venus has a very slow clockwise spin as seen from above the plane of the solar system. Six of the other major planets (including Earth) spin counter-clockwise. Uranus apparently had a similar counter-clockwise spin but now appears to rotate clockwise, because it has been "tipped over" more than 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit (likely by some massive ancient collision).
Does Uranus spin the wrong way?
Yes it does. "Wrong ???' Try different from most of the other planets.
How often does planet Venus' revolve?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. It spins on its axis in the opposite way to most planets.
Does Mars orbit around the sun the opposite way of other planets?

What way is a moon similar to a planet?
It spins around the earth on an axis like how the planets spin around the sun.
Which way does the earth revolve around the sun?
Looking from high above the North Pole, almost everything in the solar system turns counter-clockwise. The planets all orbit that way, and all except two of the planets spin that way as well. The two exceptions are Venus, which just barely rotates at all (but clockwise) and Neptune, which rotates more on its side than anything else.
Do all planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction as seen from far above the Earth's north pole?
This is known as prograde rotation, all of the planets spin in this direction apart from Venus and Uranus. Venus and Uranus spin clockwise when viewed from above the north pole, this is known as a retrograde spin.
What is unique about the rotation of Venus?
Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.
In what directions does earth turn?
counterclockwise. all planets in the splor system spin this way apart from venus, which turns clockwise.
Do stars and planets form when the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter?
Sort of. Its just part of a nebula, and the collapsing "ball" must convert itself into a disk (the spin and the local gravity field will do that). To get planets you need something solid (i.e. dust. the chief aggregators are those elements which have polarity, thus metals, ice, and stone {silicon oxide}) to condense and aggregate (thus the first stars had no planets). The "balls" don't spin unless two or more "planetoids" hit each other in such a way to produce a spin
