The clockwise spin of a planet or moon as seen from above the north pole of the planet?
Actually, in THIS solar system, most of the things that spin spin counter-clockwise. All of the planetary orbits are CCW; most of the moons orbit CCW. Out of eight planets, six spin CCW, and of the others, one is tipped sideways and the other hardly spins at all.
We don't know about ALL of the various moons, but most of the moons we have examined spin CCW. Exceptions exist, but are rare.
Why does everything spin CCW? Best guess is that the planetary nebula that formed the Sun and planets was itself rotating counter-clockwise. We expect that we will find that other solar systems will turn out to be split about 50-50.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon move clockwise or counter-clockwise around earth?
The moon moves counter-clockwise around the earh
What is the spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole?
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.
Does the moon revolve around the earth clockwise or anti-clockwise?
The moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise motion is in the same direction as the Earth's rotation on its axis.
What Direction is moons revolution?
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
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.

Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
Does the moon revolve around the earth clockwise or anti-clockwise?
The moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise motion is in the same direction as the Earth's rotation on its axis.

The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
Which way does the moon orbit the sun?
Counter clockwise (or anti-clockwise) when looking down onto the north pole.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?

Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
Does the moon orbit counterclockwise or clockwise?
Counter-clockwise. All the planets are in counter-clockwise orbits around the Sun, and all but Venus and Uranus have counter-clockwise rotation (as seen from above the ecliptic plane). The moon is tidally-locked with the Earth so that its rotational and orbital periods are the same.
Does the moon revolve around Earth clockwise?
Where are you sitting and watching it ?If you're hanging over the earth's south pole watching the moon,then it's revolving clockwise around you.If you're hanging above the north pole, then the moon is revolvingcounterclockwise around you.Just like every other motion in the universe, there's no such thingas the real motion. It all depends where you're sitting to watch,and how you're moving relative to something else.
Which way does the moon rotate and revolve?
As seen from a location high above the north pole, nearly everything in our solar system rotates counter-clockwise. All the planets orbit counter-clockwise (sometimes in ancient texts called "widdershins") and 6 of the 8 planets spin that way. The Moon orbits CCW, and rotates that way as well.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
