What else can I help you with?
Is the direction of rotation of Venus opposite to the direction of all other planets?
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
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.
Which fact is true of superior planets?
The terms "inferior planet" and "superior planet" were originally used in the geocentric cosmology of Claudius Ptolemy to differentiate those planets (Mercury and Venus) that were between the stationary Earth and the orbiting Sun from those planets (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), which lay beyond the Sun's orbit.The terms are now used with the heliocentric model."Inferior Planets" have orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth's orbit.They are Mercury and Venus.The "Superior Planets" have orbits outside the Earth's orbit.They are Mars,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.So, the meaning is slightly different from "Inner Planets" and "Outer Planets".
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.
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
The slower moving superior-planets appear to reverse their direction of travel when what?
This is called the Retrograde
Is space real or merely an illusion?
Space is real, not an illusion. It is the physical expanse in which all celestial bodies exist, including planets, stars, and galaxies.
Is the direction of rotation of Venus opposite to the direction of all other planets?
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
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 does it mean if an outer planet is at superior conjunction?
An celestial body is at superior conjunction if it is on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. A celestial body is at inferior conjunction when it is between the sun and the Earth. _______________________________________Only interior planets (Mercury and Venus) can have "superior conjunctions". The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have either "conjunctions" (when the planet is on the other side of the Sun) or "opposition" (when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky.
When do superior planets appear brightest?
Superior planets (those outside Earth's orbit) appear brightest when they are at opposition, which is when they are on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. This is when they are closest to Earth and fully illuminated by the Sun.
Do the outer planets revolve in the opposite direction than the inner planets?
no i do not think so

Which direction is Mercury?
It can be any direction. All the planets orbit the sun, so it movies.
Which feature distinguishes Uranus from other planets?
It rotates in opposite (retrograde) direction from other planets
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.
What are the 5 outer planets?
There are only 4 "outer planets". They are Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune. There are 5 planets outside the Earth's orbit. They are the above 4 plus Mars. These 5 are called the "superior planets".
