What is the definition of retrograde rotation?
Retrograde rotation is when an object rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit. This is opposite to the more common prograde rotation, where the rotation and orbit are in the same direction. An example is Venus, which rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction compared to the direction it orbits the Sun.
Does Mercury have retrograde rotation?
Pluto, like most bodies in the solar system, has a prograde orbit (inclination: ~17° from the ecliptic).Its rotation is retrograde, though (inclined at ~120°).
What do you call spinning in a counterclockwise direction?
Spinning in a counterclockwise direction is called anti-clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation.
What planet is a inner planet and has a retrograde rotation?
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
The direction of rotation on mercury?
counter-clockwise.
What is direction of rotation is mercury?
Eastward direction, or also known as counter-clockwise.
What is the direction of mercury's rotation?
Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.
What kind of rotation does Mercury have?
Mercury has a oval rotation because of the suns gravity
What is mercury's rotation per night and day?
The rotation period of Mercury is 58.65 days.
Murcury's Rotation what is the answer?
Mercury's rotation. What is the question ?
What is mercury's rotation?
It takes its rotation 59 days
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.
What is the definition of retrograde rotation?
Retrograde rotation is when an object rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit. This is opposite to the more common prograde rotation, where the rotation and orbit are in the same direction. An example is Venus, which rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction compared to the direction it orbits the Sun.
What is the ratio of the period of rotation between mercury and Neptune?
In the time it takes Mercury to complete one rotation, Neptune rotates 87.37 times.
What is Mercury's rotation period and what does rotation mean?
mercury's rotation period is 58.647 earth days. a rotation is when the planet turns around on its axis, like what the earth does once every day.
What has to be interchange in order to reverse the direction of rotation of shunt generator?
the direction of the rotation of dc shunt generator could be changed only by changing the direction of rotation of the prime mover
