From the perspective of an observer far "above" the north pole, virtually everything in the solar system orbits and spins in a COUNTER-clockwise direction. The Sun spins counterclockwise; all the planets orbit that way. 6 of the 8 planets SPIN that way, and the two exceptions are themselves exceptional.
Venus spins clockwise, but VERY slowly, taking 243 days to spin once. (The year on Venus is only 223 days.) The axis of the planet Uranus is "tipped" nearly 90 degrees, and rotates clockwise. With respect to the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun), Uranus looks like it is laying on its side, spinning.
We suspect that the cause is that the entire planetary nebula from which our solar system formed was itself spinning CCW.
What else can I help you with?
What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
Clockwise .
Which thing rotates clockwise and anti clockwise?
In the Northern Hemisphere, low-pressure systems rotate counterclockwise, while high-pressure systems rotate clockwise. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation.
Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
The way Earth's rotation makes wind curve is called what?
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
What is the rotation of the planets in clockwise and counter clockwise?
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.
Do typhoons rotate clockwise?
In the northern hemisphere, typhoons rotate counter-clockwise. In the southern they rotate clockwise. This is due to the force of the rotation of the Earth.
Which way does a typhoon rotate?
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.
What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
Clockwise .
In what directions do earth rotate?
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
What is the direction of the earth's spin?
When looking from the north of earth it seems to rotate counter-clockwise.
Do tornadoes go clockwise?
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere usually rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate clockwise. This is due to the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect.
Do tornadoes rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation.
Do tornadoes rotate counterclockwise?
Most tornadoes (about 99%) in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What happen if earth rotate clockwise?
instead of everything getting older it would get younger
How many days does moon takes to rotate earth?
Moon takes 27 days to rotate earth for one cycle.
Do tornadoes rotate counter clockwise?
Yes, tornadoes in the Northern Hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.
Do tornadoes only go counter clockwise?
No, most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Additionally, some tornadoes, called anticyclonic tornadoes, rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Fewer than 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
