Almost everything that turns or spins in our solar system spins counter-clockwise. The Earth's orbit goes counterclockwise as seen from a location high above the north pole. The Earth SPINS CCW. The Moon orbits the Sun CCW. There are only a few items in the solar system that go the other way.

What do you call the motion when a planet heads in the opposite direction?

A planet's predominant movement (NOT the daily movement related to Earth's rotation, but the apparent movement compared to the background stars) is from west to east. If a planet moves in this direction it is said to be "prograde", if it moves in the opposite direction, it is said to be "retrograde".


What direction does the moon travel around earth?

The moon travels around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from above the North Pole. This motion is known as prograde motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.


Which direction is the ISS traveling with respect to earth?

The International Space Station (ISS) travels from west to east in a roughly circular orbit around Earth. This means it moves in the same direction as Earth's rotation, completing an orbit approximately every 90 minutes.


What keeps the moon in motion?

Newton's first law of motion. If there is no net force on an object, then its velocity is constant. The object is either at rest (if its velocity is equal to zero), or it moves with constant speed in a single direction. The moon moves in a single direction about the earth because it is kept from drifting away by earth's gravity.


What direction do objects moves when a force like push is applied?

It moves in the direction of the force acting on it.
