This is the definition of prograde rotation. In the solar system, a rotating body seen from its North Pole will appear to be spinning counterclockwise. This is different then retrograde rotation in which a body spins in the opposite direction.
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
The spin of a planet or moon, when observed from above its pole, appears as a rotation around its axis. This rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the orientation of the axis relative to its orbit. For instance, Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. The spin direction is an important characteristic, as it influences the planet's weather patterns and day-night cycle.
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise rotation is also known as west to east.
It has a retrograde rotation.

There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
When viewed from above the North Pole, the Earth's rotation is counterclockwise.

Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
Viewed from the north, yes, viewed from the south, No. All the planets revolve counterclockwise as seen from the Sun's North Pole.
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.
The Earth is constantly moving in several ways. It rotates on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole) and it orbits around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.
No, the Earth's core is not spinning in the opposite direction. The core of the Earth rotates in the same direction as the rest of the planet, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
