The sun is gigantic nuclear fusion engine. It works on the principles of stallar nucleosynthesis, and you can use the link below to go to that question and learn more.
As nuclear fusion occurs in the Suns core, the temperature increases. This expands the outer envelope of the Sun (Like a heated balloon), this expansion decreases the pressure on the core, which then decreases the amount of nuclear fusion that occurs, and thus temperature. This reduction causes the outer envelope to contract, which causes an increase in pressure, which causes an increase in nuclear fusion, which creates more heat, the outer envelope expands and well…. ad infinitum.
The sun converts hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion, liberating energy in the process.
The sun, our local star, is the life source for earth. If the sun died, so would life on earth. (A few of the simplest organisms might stay alive in permanent ice.) Radiant energy from this nuclear fusion reactor warms earth, drives weather and climate, and keeps us from the deepest freeze you could possibly imagine. A link can be found below
Without sun light, plants would not be able to complete photosynthesis! They would die, followed by pretty much everything else.
the sun warm up the planets! :)
Counterclockwise, looking down at the earth from high over the North Pole.
From which point of view?
Counter clockwise from above the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise from above the Southern Hemisphere. The hands on a clock move clockwise when viewed from the front and counter clockwise from the back of a see thru clock.
The same direction the planets orbit. Whether that's clockwise or counter clockwise depends on where you look at it from.
OK, so let's look from above the Earth's North Pole. Then we see the Sun
spins counter clockwise.
Within our solar system, almost all of the rotational energy seems to be counter-clockwise. The Earth and all the other planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise, and the Sun and Earth spin CCW.
Yes, Jupiter rotates once just under 10 hours. Saturn is second, rotating once in a little over 10 hours.
The axial spin rate is not correlated with distance from the sun, as a previous answer suggested. Instead, the laws of conservation of angular momentum suggest that the more concentrated a mass becomes, the faster it spins. Jupiter's large mass makes it spin quite fast.
The sun, vastly larger than Jupiter, spins only once every 25 days (depending on latitude).
Counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise from the Southern Hemisphere. The hands on a clock move clockwise when viewed from the front and counter clockwise form the back of a see thru clock.
Almost all the rotation in our solar system is counter-clockwise as viewed from high above the Earth's north pole. This includes the direction of rotation of the Earth's spin, and the orbits of all of the planets.
Towards the East. That's why the Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise in the East.

From west to east, at a rate of one rotation every 23 hours and 56 minutes. At the equator, that is equivalent to about 1700 kilometers per hour.

It takes 10.2 Earth hours for Saturn to complete one Saturn day which in other words means spinning once on axis.

Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
it takes 10 hours and 40 minutes.
The rapid rotation of Saturn flattens it at the poles by about 10%, making it the most oblate planet.
Saturn spins faster then earth
Yes, Saturn spins on its axis in about 11 hours.
yes
It spins slow
saturn rotates 1.25 times in a earth day
10 hours, 39 minutes
Around 10 hours.
Saturn's rotational pole has an axial tilt of 26.73 degrees.

A Lego RCX can spin both ways. You just have to choose which way it spins. There is to commands for spinning, Spin Right, and Spin Left.
