It doesn't always - but:
If there is any radial motion in the bowl (or if any starts, say during a flush)
then the radial motion will be exaggerated as the water enters the drain
(smaller diameter).

∙ 8y agoIts a matter of perspective. By downwards we generally mean "towards the surface of the earth" and by upwards "away from the surface of the earth".
Now gravity is a convergent phenomenon. It means that two bodies will always go towards one another and not the other way.
Now both the bodies will attract each other by the same amount of force by Newton's law of gravity.
So actually when the drop moves towards earth's surface the earth also moves towards the drop but that distance is negligible.

Because there is a pair of equal and opposite gravitational forces between every
two specks of mass in the universe.
Around here, the Earth is one speck of mass, and anything near it is the other one.
So there are a pair of gravitational forces between the Earth and every drop of water.
One force attracts the drop toward the center of the Earth, and the other force attracts
the Earth toward the center of the drop. The forces are equal ... the weight of the drop
of water on Earth is equal to the weight of the Earth on the drop of water. As the water
falls down to Earth, the Earth falls down to the water. Their accelerations are inversely
proportional to their masses, so the water accelerates faster than the Earth does.

Where does the water go when the tide is out?
It moves over and becomes a high tide on the other side of the ocean, pulled by the gravity of the moon.
How does a satellite orbit a planet?
Ever seen water go down a plughole in your bath? When a satellite or moon gets caught in a planets gravitational field it vortexes in the same way. Only it moves toward the planet very slowly. Hope I Helped
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.
How is the earth is rotating whether in clockwise or anticlockwise?
It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.
Which way does Saturn rotate around the sun clockwise or counter clockwise?
All planets in our solar system except for Venus and Uranus rotate counter-clockwise as viewed from above the North Pole. Another way to say this, is that Saturn moves from west to east. This is also the same direction in which every planet orbits the sun.
Bathtubs and sinks have for the water to go down?
The water goes down the plughole/drain and then down the pipes.
Which way does water go down a drain?
Contrary to popular belief, the water is not affected by the motion of the Earth, or by which hemisphere the bowl is in.Water drains in a downward direction. How water goes down the plughole is determined by the state of the water when the plug is pulled, the construction of the bowl, and the shape and size of the plughole. It doesn't always go the same way. The vortex direction is dependent on small local factors, and the slightest impulse (motion, temperature) makes it unpredictably random.On a larger scale, the airflow into cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere is counter-clockwise, and in the Southern hemisphere clockwise. So if the Coriolis effect were the dominant factor, that would be the direction of the draining.
Do runner beans grow clockwise?
yes i think they do,but i would like to know if in australia they grow anti clockwise, as the water running down the plug goes the other way.
Why electrons revolve around the nucleus in anti-clockwise direction?
Who told you so: turning an atom upside down will make an anti-clockwise revolution in to a clockwise and vice verse!
What direction does water flow down in Australia?
No trip to the equator is complete without a real-life demonstration of this phenomenon.Tourists watch as their guide shows them water swirling out in one direction, and when they step over the equator, it goes out the other, and as people say. seeing is believing. Or is it?It is true that the Coriolis force works slowly and takes its time, but it is thought that it turns storms in the northern hemisphere clockwise, and turns storms in the southern hemisphere anticlockwise. As a result, many people believe that, due to the Coriolis force, that water goes down the plughole in Australia anticlockwise, and in London, clockwise.This is not true. Water does swirl as it goes down the plughole, but the real influences are where the plughole and tap are positioned.Storms being whirled around by the Coriolis force and water going down plugholes are completely unrelated.No matter where you are, it can go either way.Partly quoted from Actually Factually by Guy Campbell
Which way does the moon orbit the sun?
Counter clockwise (or anti-clockwise) when looking down onto the north pole.
Why things rotates in anti clockwise direction?
Usually because the makers of those things have made them to turn anti-clockwise. "Spontaneous" and permanent anti-clockwise turning of things is practically non-existent (if we discount the turning of whole planets). A well-know urban legend says that water going down a drain on the southern hemisphere of the Earth always and spontaneously turns anti-clockwise. That has however been extensively tested and turned out not to be true.
Which way does water go down the drain counter or clockwise?
clockwise
Which way does the water run in Australia?
In Australia the water and vines go to the lest. so basically the water does down the drain to the left. also the vines go to the lest too.
Where does the water go when the tide is out?
It moves over and becomes a high tide on the other side of the ocean, pulled by the gravity of the moon.
Why do fans rotate in anticlockwise direction?
Anti clockwise is used in the winter to bring heat down to the room. during the summer you would use the clockwise motion
Which way does water go down the drain in the US?
clockwise
