How does Jupiter rotate?
Jupiter rotates backwards . It spins anti clockwise! Only Venus rotates clockwise, all of the other planets rotate anti clockwise. To date.
What planet rotates by retrograde motion?
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).
Does Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
Mars rotates counter-clockwise like almost all other objects in our solar system. Within our solar system, only Venus and Uranus are known to have different rotational patterns.
Which planet rotates in the opposite direction from most other planets and moons?
Venus has a very slow clockwise spin as seen from above the plane of the solar system. Six of the other major planets (including Earth) spin counter-clockwise. Uranus apparently had a similar counter-clockwise spin but now appears to rotate clockwise, because it has been "tipped over" more than 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit (likely by some massive ancient collision).
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
How does Jupiter rotate?
Jupiter rotates backwards . It spins anti clockwise! Only Venus rotates clockwise, all of the other planets rotate anti clockwise. To date.
What is unusual about Venus' rotation?
its rotation is opposite of all the other planets.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
What is unusual about the rotation of Venus?
Venus rotates on its axis clockwise which is referred to as retrograde rotation. All the other planets rotate counter-clockwise.
Which way does the earth revolve around the sun?
Looking from high above the North Pole, almost everything in the solar system turns counter-clockwise. The planets all orbit that way, and all except two of the planets spin that way as well. The two exceptions are Venus, which just barely rotates at all (but clockwise) and Neptune, which rotates more on its side than anything else.
What is pro-grade rotation?
"Prograde" means "in the normal direction". Everything in THIS solar system rotates counter-clockwise, or CCW. Well, ALMOST everything; there are two planets whose rotation is "retrograde", which means "in the opposite direction". The planet Venus rotates - VERY SLOWLY! - in a "retrograde" or clockwise direction.
What do Venus and Uranus do that no other planets do?
They spin "upside-down" instead of how the others planets do.
Which of the eight planets of our solar system rotates clockwise?
Major PlanetsVenus is the only major planet known to rotate clockwise. Uranus is tilted on its side, so the rotation direction is ambiguous.Dwarf PlanetsAs for the five dwarf planets, Pluto also rotates on its side, so it's direction is ambiguous as well. And the Rotation of Eris is unknown.
All the planets in your solar system rotate counterclockwise except for which planet?
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
What rotation of Mercury around the sun?
All the planets revolve around the Sun in the same direction. As seen from a position arbitrarily "above" the plane of the planetary orbits (i.e. above Earth's North Pole), the planets orbit counter-clockwise.
Why is your solar system a counter clockwise system?
Since the sun rotates counter clockwise the planets also revolve counter clockwise.
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.
