Does the all planets rotate counter-clockwise on their axis?

Answer 1

It depends on your veiwpoint. The normal solar system model shows earth with its north pole pointing up and the south pole pointing down, with the celestrial poles in the same direction. If it is considered like this, then the planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise as some would have it) direction when looking down from overhead.

Answer 2

Yes, all of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in a counter clockwise (anti-clockwise) direction as viewed from above the north pole. They orbit at different rates depending on their distance from the sun. They dont all rotate on their axis counter clockwise however, Venus and Uranus are exceptions and spin in a clockwise fashion when viewed from above their north poles.

Answer 3

If north pole is supposed to be up and we are at parallel to the equator then planets around the sun move clock wise but if we see the planets from north pole then it rotates counterclockwise it is a relative term but all the planets around the sun have the same rotation either clockwise or counter clockwise.

Answer 4

No, not all planets rotate counter-clockwise on their axis. Venus, for example, rotates in a clockwise direction. The direction of rotation depends on the planet's initial conditions during its formation.

Answer 5

It depends where your looking from.Looking from above if its clockwise so from below it would appear anti-clockwise.

Answer 6

Half of the amount of planets in the universe revolve counter-clockwise more frequently. Scientist have discovered planets revolving around a star in a "clockwise" direction.

Answer 7

The Earth revolves around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction.
