Which planets rotate counter clockwise

Answer 1

Most planets spin counter-clockwise in our solar system, the same direction as they orbit (as seen looking down from above the Earth's north pole); the exceptions are Venus which spins clockwise (i.e., retrograde or "upside down"), and Uranus which rotates pretty much on its side (about 98 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic).

Answer 2

All of them with the exception of Venus and Uranus.

Improvement : I don't want to seem pedantic, but that answer always

"bugs me". I know you see it in books, but it's incomplete.

You need to add that the planets are being "viewed" from a position above

the Earth's North Pole.

If you looked at Venus from high above our South Pole it would rotate in a

counterclockwise direction.

Answer 3

first of all if we talk about planets than it's Solar System, and not milky way, there are billions of planets in milky way, so to talk about them all from this perspectiver would be more than pretentious... and what is counter clockwise in galactic terms??? it doesnt mean nothing, same as east or west, so rephrase your question properly and then you might get an answer

Answer 4

All planets rotate counter clockwise on their axis when viewed from above the north pole, except for Uranus and Venus - they go clockwise.

Answer 5

All of the planets rotate in a counter clockwise direction except for Venus. Venus rotates clockwise though it still orbits the sun in a counter clockwise orbit.

Answer 6

All planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, rotate around the sun, "counter-clockwise." SOURCE-AOL SEARCH

Answer 7

All of the planets rotate anti-clockwise (counter clockwise), except for Venus and Uranus, which have a retrograde axial spin - they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole.

Answer 8

All of them (in our solar system) do that.

"Revolve" here means to orbit the Sun.

If you meant "rotate" (spin on axis), that's a different answer.
