What else can I help you with?
Is the space station moving east to west or west to east?
The International Space Station orbits the Earth from west to east. This means it travels in an easterly direction as it completes each orbit around the Earth.
What direction moon orbit around earth?
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
Where does the sun rise in the east and sets in the west?
Anywhere on our planet really, but as you get nearer the poles the rising and setting will shift around a lot more with the changing seasons. On Venus, you would see the sun rise in the west and set in the east, since that planet rotates the opposite way to earth.
What is the spinning rotation of a planet from east to west called?
The spinning rotation of a planet from east to west is called retrograde rotation. This is the opposite direction to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate from west to east in a prograde rotation.
Why does Phobos rise in the West and set in the East?
If you observe our moon, over the course of a night it appears to rise in the east and set in the west. However if you observe it over the course of a month you will see that each night it will be further toward the east. You will see that the moon is actually traveling from west to east around the earth. It only appears to rise in the east and set in the west just as the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. The sun actually isn't moving and the moon as well isn't moving in the direction it appears to be. It takes a month though to go around the earth from west to east. It does it so slowly that each night it doesn't seem to move except in the direction opposite to the earths rotation. Phobos travels west to east also. However it orbits Mars in only 7 hours. So Phobos appears to move in the direction it actually is moving. Thus appears to be doing exactly what it is doing: rising in the west and setting in the east.
Which planet orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
No planet does this. You probably mean the planet that ROTATES on its axis in an east to west direction. The answer is Venus. Uranus also does this, but with an extreme axial tilt.
Is the space station moving east to west or west to east?
The International Space Station orbits the Earth from west to east. This means it travels in an easterly direction as it completes each orbit around the Earth.
How does the sun rise east to west?
Because our planet orbits (spins around) the sun. This means that the position of the sun will look like it changes throughout the day, whereas it is Earth that is actually moving.
What direction moon orbit around earth?
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
Is mars located north east south or west?
Mars is an outer planet in our solar system, and its position in relation to Earth changes depending on their orbits around the Sun. There is no fixed direction like north, east, south, or west for Mars. Its location in the sky relative to Earth changes over time as both planets orbit the Sun.
What direction does the earth move?
The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing day and night. It also orbits around the sun counterclockwise in an elliptical path.
Which way does mercury orbit?
It orbits east to west or western.
What planet has no moon and rotates from east to west?
Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.
What planet can revolves around the sun west to east and rotates in the same direction in 24 hours?
Earth
Where does the sun rise in the east and sets in the west?
Anywhere on our planet really, but as you get nearer the poles the rising and setting will shift around a lot more with the changing seasons. On Venus, you would see the sun rise in the west and set in the east, since that planet rotates the opposite way to earth.
What direction does planet earth rotate?
west to east
What is the spinning rotation of a planet from east to west called?
The spinning rotation of a planet from east to west is called retrograde rotation. This is the opposite direction to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate from west to east in a prograde rotation.
