What direction does Callisto rotate on its axis?
same as earth
What Direction is moons revolution?
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
What is the direction of Pluto's rotation?
I'm not sure how to explain directions in space since they are all relative to something else. This is about the best I can do. If you mean Pluto's rotation around the Sun it orbits in the same direction as the Earth which is also the same as the Sun's rotation on its axis. If you mean Pluto's rotation on its axis it's opposite the rotation of the Earth and Sun on their axes.
Why is Pluto's rotation on its axis?
A planets rotation is dependent on the total number and direction of ALL the hits that it has taken since it initially formed.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Venus, Uranus and Pluto are exceptions.

Which helicity state of an unpolarized neutron beam will be more strongly absorbed by a helium-3 target polarized with its speed along the neutron beam axis?
If the 3He target has its spin polarized along the axis of the neutron beam, you may consider that the protons' spin will be canceling out and the spin will be more-or-less carried by the one neutron. Thus it will prefer to absorb neutrons polarized in the opposite direction, ie negative helicity.
How polarization takes place?
Light, which is an EM Wave must satisfy maxwells eq. Normally we think that a E-field vibrating in x-axis and H-field vibrating in y axis is the solution to the eqs. This is the case of linear polarization where the E-field is constrained in one plane only. But there are numerous other possibilities too. The E-field might itself rotate continuously (changing planes continuously) with the H-field always remaining perpendicular to it. In this case the tip of the E-vector would look like rotating about z-axis, yet at any instant you find the H-field being perpendicular to the E-field vector and hence satisfying the maxwells eq. This perfectly valid EM wave would then be termed as elliptically polarized. A special case of elliptical polarization is circular polarization. Picture yourself looking right at the direction of light in which it is propagating and imagine the locus of the tip of the E-field vector. If the E-field vector is constrained in one plane then you are going to see a straight line. The light is then said to be linearly polarized. On the other hand if the E-field is rotating with constant magnitude, you would see a circle, and this EMwave is circularly polarized. Elliptical or circular polarization has to be brought about by two em waves interfering with each other. The vector sum of the E-fields can give the net E-field an elliptical shape. .
Is a torque vector quantity?
Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.
What are the conditions required to produce circularly polarised light?
Linearly polarized light passed through a quarter-wave plate at a 45 degree angle to the optic axis becomes circularly polarized
What is the axial direction?
It is the direction in line with the axis of a member or structure
How do you take angle with axis when direction is given?
The answer depends on the form in which the direction is given. On the coordinate plane, the direction given by the polar coordinates is the angle made with the positive direction of the x-axis.
What are radar waves?
Electro-magnetic waves are comprised of an H field (Magnetic-field) and E field (Electric-field) at perpendicular angles to each other. The E field is generated in the axis of the current flow. The H field is generated perpendicular to the axis of the current flow. Which way up the Fields are or alternatively which direction they rotation defines the polarization.
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.
What is Cartesian motion?
motion in the direction of the 3 axes namely x - axis, y - axis and z - axis...
What is the positive direction on the y axis?
Up
Will earth go the same direction?
yes it rotates on an axis and 'always' in the same direction.
