What is the only planet that revolves clockwise?
There are two planets that rotate clockwise, i.e. with retrograde motion; Venus and Uranus.
How is clockwise the backwards motion of a planet?
'Counter-clockwise' requires a reference point such that we can determine which side of the galactic plane one is on to look at the direction of spin. That said, the planets do all orbit in the same direction. Additionally, Venus, Uranus and the Plutoid all spin in different directions than the other planets, which spin the same way as their orbits. Venus spins in the exact opposite direction (retrograde), Uranus has its axis of spin on the galactic plane, and the Plutoid's axis is inclined 123 degrees to its plane of orbit, making its spin retrograde as well.
Is earth the closest planet to Jupiter?
No. Generally speaking, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. The actual distance that Venus is from Earth varies, depending on where it is during its orbit around the sun relative to that of Earth. When Venus and Earth are on the same side of the sun, they are 38.2x106km apart; when they are on opposite sides of the sun, they are 261.0x106km apart.Mars is the second planet closest to Earth. However, if Venus is on the opposite side of the sun, Mars could temporary be closest to Earth. Mars's distance from Earth varies, from 55.7x106km when they are both at the same side of the sun, to 401.3x106km, when they are on opposite sides of the sun.
What is the biggest planet to the smallest planet?
Pluto, Neptune Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and then EarthNote:Note that this order varies depending on the time of year for each planet. For instance, on rare occasions Mercury may be closer to Earth than either Venus or Mars.Also note that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet.
Which is the nearest planet to Venus?
the closest planets to venus are earth and mecury
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from other planets and moons?
Venus is the obviousexample, butUranus does this too. (Also some moons rotate in unusual directions.)
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from the most other planets and moons?
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?
Venus is the planet that rotates in the opposite direction to all the other planets.
Does Venus rotate in a direction opposite to all other planets?
yes it does
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
Which planet roatates in the opposite direction earth?
Venus
Which planet doesnt rotate?
As far as we know it is not possible for a planet not to rotate, they all rotate because they have some form of gravity within them that gets them turning, perhaps you are thinking of Venus which turns in the opposite direction to all the other planets in our Solar System.
Which planet in the solar system rotate in direction from east ot west?
Venus
What two planets rotate differently?
Venus and Uranus rotate opposite of the others, in a clockwise direction.
Why does venus rotate in the opposite direction?
No one knows why, God just made it that way
How does Venus rotate on its axis?
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
What is so special about Venus Rotation and Revolution?
It rotates in the opposite direction the other planets rotate.
