The axis of rotation for Uranus is on its side. Thus, instead of appearing to spin like a child's top, it appears more like a barrel roll! YEAH TOAST!!!
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
false
Most planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise when viewed from above their north poles. Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they rotate clockwise. This rotation direction is likely due to the way the planets formed from the spinning disk of gas and dust around the young Sun.
yes
Yea
Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
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).
Both Venus and Uranus have retrograde, i.e. clockwise, rotation.
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).
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
Planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, except for Venus and Uranus which rotate clockwise. All planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the solar system, except for Venus and Uranus which orbit clockwise.
In the Northern Hemisphere, typhoons rotate counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.
Counter clockwise
counter clockwise
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
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).
