Provided the rotational speed was the same as it is now, the length of of the day would not change at all. Unfortunately though, there would not be any of us around that would survive such a shift. Too bad, it would really be nice to see the sun rise in the west and set in the east after the change.

Why is your solar system a counter clockwise system?

The solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust, which led to a counter clockwise rotation due to the conservation of angular momentum. This rotation direction has been maintained over billions of years due to the lack of significant external forces to change it.


Why does earth spin counter clockwise?

Almost all of the material that formed the Solar system revolved around the Sun in one direction. This represents the conservation of angular momentum when the material contracted to form the Sun and its planetary disk. Since then, collisions and localized gravity have created exceptions to the general counter-clockwise rule (Venus spins slowly clockwise on its axis). The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis counter-clockwise, and orbits the Sun counter-clockwise as well, as viewed from the North Pole of the Earth or Sun. These are arbitrary concepts of "above" and "below" the plane of the Solar System. The Moon also revolves around the Earth counter-clockwise.

What planet orbits the other way then earth?

All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.


What is special about nicholis coperrnicus?

Copernicus was the first to propose that the Earth was NOT the center of the solar system but the Sun was, and the Earth and plantes rotated around it. This idea was in direct opposition to prevailing beliefs at the time.


How do you use retrograde in a sentence?

retrograde is when a solar system object rotates clockwise while almost all other objects rotate counter-clockwise. "Venus' motion is retrograde in relation to the Earth's"


Climate change on earth is thought to be affected by what solar phenomena?

Solar phenomena such as solar flares and sunspots can impact climate change on Earth by influencing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's atmosphere. Changes in solar activity can affect the Earth's temperature and climate patterns. Additionally, variations in the sun's energy output can have a long-term impact on the planet's climate.


Does Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?

Mars rotates on its axis in the same direction as Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This means that if you were standing on Mars's surface, the Sun would rise in the east and set in the west, similar to how it appears on Earth.


When viewed from the north pole the earth rotates on its axis from?

Counter-clockwise, from right to left. Almost everything in our solar system spins that way.


Where do member of solar system?

counter clockwise


Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?

Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.


Where do members of solar system revolve?

counter clockwise
