What else can I help you with?

What rotation does a planet have if it spins clockwise?
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".
What kind of front spins counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, low-pressure systems and cyclones rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This is caused by the Earth's rotation deflecting the air flow to the left. High-pressure systems and anticyclones spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere.

What do you call a tornado that spins a other way?
A tornado that spins in the opposite direction is known as an anticyclonic tornado. These tornadoes are rare and rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What way does hurricane spin?
The hurricane spins counterclockwise due to the Coriolis force In the north if Canada was in the south it would spin clockwise. this happens because as the earth spins it veers the winds in the north west and in the south east
Is there a name for tornadoes that starts with ''a''?
No. Tornadoes do not have names; hurricanes do. One term relating to tornadoes that starts with 'a' is anticyclonic. An anticyclonic tornado is one that spins in the opposite direction from what is normal. That is, it spins clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
Does mercury spin counter clockwise or clockwise?
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
What direction does an automobile fan blade turn?
Some spin clockwise and some spin counterclockwise. If the fan is driven with a v-belt it spins clockwise. If the fan is driven with the flat side of a serpentine belt it spins counterclockwise.
Can a toilet spin water down going anticlockwise?
It depends on the flushing system you have. Here there are 2 toilets, one spins clockwise, the other one counterclockwise.
