Does Uranus rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
The axis of rotation for Uranus is on its side. Thus, instead of appearing to spin like a child's top, it appears more like a barrel roll! YEAH TOAST!!!
What is odd about Uranus spin?
Uranus is odd because it spins on it's side. Instead of spinning slightly off the vertical in a counter-clockwise position like the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins slightly off it's horizontal axis and spins clockwise.
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)
Which gas giant planet has the longest rotation?
Uranus. 17h 14m 24s for one spin on its axis.
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.

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.

What Is the Axis spin of Uranus?
97.77 degrees
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)
Does your planet spin clockwise?
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Which one of the planets spin clockwise around its own axis?
Venus.
Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
Which planets do not rotate counter-clockwise?
Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
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.
Does the moon rotate in the same direction as earth?
Earth and Neptune both spin anti-clockwise when viewed from above the Solar System. However, Uranus appears to spin clockwise, because its axis is tipped over by more than 90 degrees (98, in fact.) This is probably because a large object, perhaps a planet the size of Earth, knocked into it early in its history and tipped it over in its orbit.
Which way does Uranus spin?
Uranus spins clockwise,but it's kind of weird 'cause it's tilted 99degrees. OH YEAH! I'M AWESOME!
