What planets spin differently?

Answer 1

No. They all rotate anti clockwise. The only planet viewed from the "north" that rotates clockwise is Venus. Because of their angle of tilt > 90O Uranus and Pluto could be said to have a retrograde rotation, but if you adjusted their "north pole" to the same direction as the rest of the planets they would also rotate anti clockwise.

Answer 2

all planets spin the same way' except for 1. this odd planet is venus.out of all the nine planets, venus is the only planet to spin clockwise. this is because billions of years ago venus got hit by an asteroid, this asteroid effected not only the way that it spins, but also how fast it will go.

Jupiter spins faster than any other planet. A point on the equator of Jupiter spins faster around the center of the planet at a speed of 28,273 mph. The speed of the spin makes the planet bulge slightly at its equator.

Answer 3

Only two planets appear to rotate (spin) in the opposite or clockwise direction.

Venus now has an extremely slow clockwise, east-to-west rotation as seen from above. Its original rotation was likely stopped by an impact event.

Uranus retains its original rotation, but was knocked over onto its side past the perpendicular, so that what was originally its North Pole now points below the orbital plane and is considered its South Pole.

The "third planet" would have been Pluto, which since 2006 is classified as a dwarf planet. Pluto has an orbital plane greatly different from the other planets, but when seen from the solar "north" appears to rotate clockwise. What would have been its original north pole is tilted by 120 degrees, possibly due to co-orbital effects of its large moon Charon.

Answer 4

Yes, as relative to its own orbital plane, or the ecliptic plane of the solar system, Pluto is observed to rotate clockwise (east to west), which is likely connected to the clockwise orbit of its major moon Charon, with which it is tidally locked.

6 of the 8 major planets rotate counter-clockwise, the same direction as their orbits around the Sun. Uranus is atypical because it is tipped over in its orbit, and Venus has somehow lost its counter-clockwise spin and now spins ever so slowly in the other direction.

Answer 5

Jupiter spins faster than any other planet in our solar system. Rotation rates of exoplanets remain, for the most part, unknown. We may expect there are planets beyond our solar system that spin faster than Jupiter.

Answer 6

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).

Answer 7

Venus & Uranus

Answer 8

it spins sideways
