What else can I help you with?
What the revolutions of Mars?
all the planets move in the same direction counter-clockwise
Do planets move around the sun in the opposite direction then the sun turns?
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
What is the rotation of all the planets?
Looked at from the direction of the Pole Star, most of the planets appear to move anticlockwise, the same sense of rotation that causes the Sun to rise in the east every day. The exceptions are Venus and Uranus.
Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
Do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
Most planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in the same direction, counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. However, Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they have retrograde or backward orbits.
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Does neptune orbits a sun in opposite direction of all other planets?
While Neptune's orbit is on a different plane compared to most other planets, its direction of revolution around the sun is the same as the majority of the planets in our solar system.
Do satellites move in the same pattern as planets and stars?
Obviously. Since they move in an ellipse around the Earth (or other central body), they change direction all the time. The only way NOT to change direction would be to move in a straight line; satellites don't do that.
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.
Do the planets and sun rotate the same direction?
Only some.
