What is counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon called?
The counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon is called retrograde rotation. This means the object is rotating in the opposite direction of its orbit around another body, like a planet rotating against the direction of its orbit around the sun.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Is mercury a gaseous or terrestrial planet?
Mercury is a terrestrial planet, meaning it is a rocky planet like Earth. It is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system.
What planet has a retrograde revolution?
Retrograde refers to a planetary movement in which specific planets turn in a different direction than others. Planets with retrograde movements are Uranus and Venus.
Which planets have retrograde rotation?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system known to have retrograde rotation, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction to the majority of planets. Venus rotates very slowly in a retrograde direction, while Uranus rotates on its side with a retrograde tilt.
Is Pluto a retrograde rotation planet?
It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has?
It has a retrograde rotation.

What planet rotates retrograde motion?
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).
The apparent westward movement of a planet is known as?
The apparent westward movement of a planet is known as retrograde motion. This phenomenon occurs when a superior planet passes Earth in its orbit, making it appear to move backward in the sky relative to the stars.
Is earth the smallest terrestrial planet?
No, Earth is not the smallest terrestrial planet. Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet.
What the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?
what is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere
Is mars a terrestrial planet or gaseous planet?
It is terrestrial.
What planet has a moon that exhibits retrograde motion?
Neptune has a moon named Triton that exhibits retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is when a moon orbits its planet in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.
Is Mercury a terrestrial planet?
Yes, Mercury is a terrestrial planet.
Is Mars a gaseous or a terrestrial planet?
It's a terrestrial planet
