Most planets rotate on their axes in what direction?
They rotate counterclockwise, looked atfrom an imaginary pointabove the Earth'snorth pole. That's the same directionas the Sun.
Do all comets rotate on their axis counterclockwise?
No. Not even all planets rotate in the same direction (Venus is retrograde; Uranus is sideways); the rotation of (much smaller) comets is essentially random.
Do tornadoes rotate counterclockwise?
Most tornadoes (about 99%) in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Which direction does the Earth rotate around the Sun?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when you look down its axis of rotation from the North Pole. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, it turns counterclockwise when you look down the its axis of rotation from the north. The Sun rotates with its equator inclined only 7.25 degrees to the Earth's orbit, and most of the other planets' equators are tipped less than 30 degrees. Apparently, the preferred direction of motion in the Solar System is counterclockwise as seen from the north. All the planets revolve counterclockwise around the Sun, and, with the exception of Venus and Uranus, they rotate counterclockwise on their axes.
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Venus and Uranus are the planets which rotate from East to West.
Do planets rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
They spin clockwise
Do some planets revolve clockwise but rotate counterclockwise?
yes,yes they do
Why do some planets rotate clockwise while others rotate counterclockwise?
Probably because an asteroid knocked them into spinning that way.
Most planets rotate on their axes in what direction?
They rotate counterclockwise, looked atfrom an imaginary pointabove the Earth'snorth pole. That's the same directionas the Sun.
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
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.
Do all comets rotate on their axis counterclockwise?
No. Not even all planets rotate in the same direction (Venus is retrograde; Uranus is sideways); the rotation of (much smaller) comets is essentially random.
Do tornadoes rotate counterclockwise?
Most tornadoes (about 99%) in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Which planets rotate counter clock wise?
All the planets in our solar system do this, except Venus and Uranus."Counterclockwise", for a planet's rotation, means "as seen from a place above the Earth's Northpole".
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).
Do tornadoes rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
In all but the rarest cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while ones in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Why does Mars revolve in a counterclockwise motion why?
All the planets rotate anticlockwise or counterclockwise, Venus rotates clockwise in "retrograde" rotation.i have read several reasons why,one was an ancient collision,or that it was a rouge planet that entered our solar system.
