Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?
NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.
Do all planets spin on in axis in the same direction?
No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.
Length of the day on Venus'?
Venus takes 243 days to spin once on its axis relative to the background stars, although an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins (slowly) in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
Venus and Uranus spin in what direction of the other planets?
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
How far does Venus spin?
Venus spins on its axis very slowly as compared to the rest of the planets. The time from one sunrise to the next sunrise on Venus is about 117 days on Earth.
How does Venus rotate on its axis?
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?
NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.
Why do all planets spin the same direction?
They don't. Uranus spins on a "sideways" axis with retrograde spin. Venus also has a retrograde spin. Most spin in the same direction though. This is probably because of how the Solar System was formed, from a spinning disc of material.
A spinning planet rotates in what direction?
Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.
Do all planets spin on in axis in the same direction?
No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.
Which one of the planets spin clockwise around its own axis?
Venus.
What is the planet Venus's rotation and revolution?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
How many earth years does Venus take to spin once on its axis?
Venus rotates once in 243 days.
What is the rotation of Venus' in year length?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis (0.615 years) relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
How does the length of a day on venus compare with the length of its year?
Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
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.
