Which way does the earth move clockwise or anticlockwise?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise rotation is also known as west to east.
Why do Indians move clockwise in holy cerimonies?
The clockwise movement is followed to imitate the earth's movement round the sun.
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
Which planet moves anticlockwise round the sun?
Six of the eight major planets rotate "anticlockwise" (counterclockwise) as seen from above the Earth's north pole: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The rotation of Venus is slowly clockwise, while the spin of Uranus is now observed to be clockwise because it has been tipped over more than 90 degrees "onto its side" (as if rolling along its orbital path at times).
Which planet in the solar system spins in the opposite direction?
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Does earth rotates anticlockwise?
Yes it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does the earth spin anticlockwise?
The Earth spins counter-clockwise when viewed from a point above the North Pole. This is called the Earth's rotation about its own axis. Most of the other planets in the solar system also have this type of rotation. The exceptions are Venus and Neptune.
What rotation does a planet have if it spins clockwise?
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Why clockwise movement of sea water in northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect moving objects to the right. This effect influences the movement of sea water, creating a clockwise movement known as a gyre. This is why sea water tends to circulate in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.
Does mars orbit the sun clockwise or anticlockwise?
Depends on your perspective, doesn't it? Having said that, if you're looking at our galaxy from a "top" view (i.e. down towards the Earth's north pole), then Mars, like everything else in the galaxy, revolves around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction.
