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.

What way of turn does planet revolve around the sun?
All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (sometimes called anticlockwise) direction. To be exact, this is as viewed from an imaginary point high above the Earth's North Pole. (You actually get a different answer if you view the Solar System from above the Earth's South Pole.)
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
How does Uranus move clockwise or counter clockwise?
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Do any planets orbit the moon?
No. An object must orbit the sun to be considered a planet. No natural object orbits the moon. Since the moon is so close to the far more massive Earth it is unlikely that an orbit around the moon will remain stable for very long.
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.
Which planet rotates counterclockwise?
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).
Far above the earth's north pole the orbital motion of the planets is?
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
Which planet has a frozen southern pole?
Earth, Mars, and all the planets beyond Mars.
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 way of turn does planet revolve around the sun?
All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (sometimes called anticlockwise) direction. To be exact, this is as viewed from an imaginary point high above the Earth's North Pole. (You actually get a different answer if you view the Solar System from above the Earth's South Pole.)
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
What planet rotates 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).
What is axis in planets?
In planets, the axis refers to an imaginary line that passes through the center of the planet from its north pole to its south pole. The tilt of this axis determines the planet's seasons and weather patterns. Changes in the planet's axial tilt can impact its climate and environment.
Which direction do all planets revolve?
All planets in our Solar System, viewed from above our North Pole, revolve around the Sun in an anti clockwise direction.
How does Uranus move clockwise or counter clockwise?
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
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.
