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).
What else can I help you with?
Which planets do not rotate counter-clockwise?
Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
What is the rotational and revolutionary direction of the planets?
Planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, except for Venus and Uranus which rotate clockwise. All planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the solar system, except for Venus and Uranus which orbit clockwise.
How does Jupiter rotate?
Jupiter rotates on its axis, completing one full rotation approximately every 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, bulging at the equator and flattening at the poles.
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 direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
Which planets do not rotate counter-clockwise?
Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
Does mercury spin counter clockwise or clockwise?
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
What planet revolves different from all other planets.It goes counter-clockwise?
Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Do planets rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
They spin clockwise
What is the rotation of the planets in clockwise and counter clockwise?
Most planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise when viewed from above their north poles. Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they rotate clockwise. This rotation direction is likely due to the way the planets formed from the spinning disk of gas and dust around the young Sun.
What planet rotates retrograde motion?
Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Which way does a typhoon rotate?
In the Northern Hemisphere, typhoons rotate counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.
Does the all planets rotate counter-clockwise on their axis?
It depends on your veiwpoint. The normal solar system model shows earth with its north pole pointing up and the south pole pointing down, with the celestrial poles in the same direction. If it is considered like this, then the planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise as some would have it) direction when looking down from overhead.
What way does the moon rotate?
counter clockwise
Which direction does the moon rotate?
Counter clockwise
What is the rotational and revolutionary direction of the planets?
Planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, except for Venus and Uranus which rotate clockwise. All planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the solar system, except for Venus and Uranus which orbit clockwise.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
