Venus has a very slow clockwise spin as seen from above the plane of the solar system. Six of the other major planets (including Earth) spin counter-clockwise.
Uranus apparently had a similar counter-clockwise spin but now appears to rotate clockwise, because it has been "tipped over" more than 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit (likely by some massive ancient collision).
What else can I help you with?
Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?
Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?
Viewing from every planets ' north pole'. every planet roatest in a clockwise direction, except Venus and Uranus. Because of precsession, The angle of 'wobble' of all planets, Earth's is currently 23 degrees, Uranus has appeared to 'wobble' to the point of 'turning over' and appearing to rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Approximately 75% of the moons in our solar system orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate. This is known as prograde motion. Moons that orbit in the opposite direction are called retrograde.
What planet rotates east to west?
Venus rotates east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. This means that it rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
What planet spins in a reverse direction to all the others?
Venus is the planet that spins in the reverse direction compared to most other planets in our solar system. It rotates on its axis from east to west, known as retrograde rotation, whereas Earth and the majority of other planets spin from west to east.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction of other planets and moons?
my face dahhh
Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
Retrograde rotation is when a planet rotates in a direction opposite to the majority of planets in our solar system. The planet Venus rotates in retrograde, meaning it spins clockwise on its axis when viewed from above its north pole. This is in contrast to the counterclockwise rotation of most planets, including Earth.
Which planet rotates backward from east to west?
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
What does Venus do that no ether planet does?
It has retrograde rotation which means it rotates in the opposite direction of all the other planets.
What planet rotates opposite direction from most planets and moons?
You probably mean Venus, but Uranus is the other one.
Which planet rotates the opposite of most planets?
Venus
What is the planet that rotates by retrograde motion?
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
Which planet rotates east to west which is opposite from the other planets?
Venus
What is the direction of rotation of sedna?
Sedna, a minor planet in our solar system, rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction. This means that its rotation is opposite to the direction of most other planets in our solar system.
Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?
Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
What planet has no satellites and a retrograde revolution?
Venus is the planet that has no natural satellites (moons) and rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it rotates clockwise when viewed from above its north pole. It is unique as most other planets in our solar system rotate in a prograde direction.
Which planet rotates by retrograde motion?
All planets orbit the sun in the direction that the sun is rotating. There are actually two planets that rotate by retrograde motion and are exceptions to this rule. These planets are Venus and Uranus.
