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.
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.
Does vortex spin counterclockwise?
A vortex can spin either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has?
It has a retrograde rotation.
The spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole is called its?
A planet's rotation on its axis determines the length of its day.

Does vortex spin counterclockwise?
A vortex can spin either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What direction does the moon rotate in?
Counterclockwise. All objects in space spin counterclockwise except Venus because it is was to believed to be hit by a large object that changed its spin.
How does a moon's motion compare to a planet's motion?
They both spin on an axis.
What are the directions of the orbits of the moon and earth?
Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. Similarly the Moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. From the same vantage point, the Earth, Moon and Sun also rotate on their axes of spin in a counterclockwise direction.
What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Which directions do tornadoes spin?
Tornadoes nearly always spin counterclockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if they are in the southern hemisphere.
