What planet rotates east to west?
Uranus and Venus rotate east to west.
In which planet the sun rises in west and sets in east?
Uranus
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 the moon rotate on its axis?
The Moon orbits the Earth from west to east. Its apparent motion is from east to west because of the rapid rotation of Earth compared to the monthly orbit of the Moon. Since the Moon orbits from west to east, its once monthly rotation is also from west to east, because it keeps the same face (mostly) toward the Earth throughout the month. In plain English: counter clockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
What is the spinning rotation of a planet from east to west called?
Answer: Retrograde Rotation
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.
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.
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.
Which way does mercury orbit?
It orbits east to west or western.
How can you explain retrograde motion today?
The retrograde motion of a planet is the optical illusionthat a planet reverses its orbital direction, as seen from Earth.In reality, the planet does not change direction at all, but because the Earth is also orbiting the sun, the relative motion of the Earth and another planet in their respective orbits make it appear to us as if the planet reverses course for a while.
How do weather fronts move across the earth from west to east?
It's mainly due to the Jet stream - a high-speed 'corridor' of air that flows around the planet at high altitude. Additionally - the planet rotates from east to west.
What planet can revolves around the sun west to east and rotates in the same direction in 24 hours?
Earth
