Which direction would the earth appear to spin if you could observe it from below the south pole?
If you observe the Earth from below the South Pole, it would appear to be spinning in a counterclockwise direction.
A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has a?
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.
In what direction does the giant red spot on Jupiter rotate?
it rotates in a counterclockwise direction....
Opposite direction to the movement of the hand of a clock?
anticlockwise
What are Planets that appear to be spinning clockwise from their north pole called?
Most planets rotate in the direction of their orbit, which is to say, if viewed from the NORTH pole, if they orbit counterclockwise, they rotate counterclockwise as if they were rolling around the sun on its surface. If they are rotating the opposite direction, it is called RETROGRADE rotation. It is rare, but it does happen. Many scientist seem to believe this can only happen by some physical event such as a collision, or by the object in question being captured by the gravity of the primary as it wandered by. (Uranus orbits lying on its side, with one pole toward the sun).
Is the Earth's core spinning in the opposite direction?
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.
In which direction is the Earth's rotation when viewed from above the North Pole, spinning clockwise or counterclockwise?
When viewed from above the North Pole, the Earth's rotation is counterclockwise.
Which direction would the earth appear to spin if you could observe it from below the south pole?
If you observe the Earth from below the South Pole, it would appear to be spinning in a counterclockwise direction.
A spinning planet rotates in what direction?
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.
What is the difference of counterclockwise and clockwise?
Referring to the direction of rotation, a clockwise direction indicates rotation in the same direction as the hands move on the face of a clock. Counterclockwise rotation is in the opposite direction.
In what direction does Mars orbit?
counterclockwise
In what direction does Neptune revolve?
Counterclockwise
What does rotate to the left mean?
Rotating to the left means turning an object or shape in a counterclockwise direction around a central point or axis. Imagine turning a dial on a safe or spinning a record player backwards.
What direction does the distributor rotate for a 351windsor?
counterclockwise
