What type of rotation does Neptune have?

Neptune rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system. This unique rotation is thought to have been caused by a collision with another large celestial object in the past.


What is unique about the rotation of Venus?

Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.


What direction does a cyclone spin in the northern hemisphere?

A typhoon in the northern hemisphere rotates counter-clockwise, in contrast to a typhoon in the southern hemisphere which rotates the other way (i.e., clockwise) as explained by the Coriolis effect.


What is the type of switch that reverses the rotation of a single phase motor?

If you are talking about a switch that is used to change the direction that a single phase motor turns from clockwise to counter clockwise, the switch is called a forward - reverse drum switch. By reversing any two of the three phase legs that feed the 3 phase motor. <<>> On a single phase motor a drum switch is used. This switch reverses the start winding so that when voltage is applied to the motor it will revolve in the reverse direction.


What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?

Rotation of the planet on its axis causes night and day to happen on all planets. This rotation causes different parts of the planet to face the sun at different times, leading to periods of light (day) and darkness (night).

What is Pluto's type of rotation?

Counter-clockwise.


Why does the earth spin anticlockwise?

The Earth spins counter-clockwise when viewed from a point above the North Pole. This is called the Earth's rotation about its own axis. Most of the other planets in the solar system also have this type of rotation. The exceptions are Venus and Neptune.


Explain what is meant by Venus retrograde rotation?

Oddly, Venus rotates from east to west, the opposite direction from most other planets and moons. This type of rotation is called retrograde rotation, from the Latin words for "moving backward".

What is an anticlockwise moment?

An anticlockwise moment is a force that causes an object to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around a fixed point or axis. It is a type of torque that creates angular acceleration in the opposite direction to the clockwise rotation.

What is a lauriat service?

Type of food service which originated in China. It uses a Lazy Susan to move the food counter-clockwise or clockwise depending to the way the guest turns it.


Why is it harder to make water swirl counter clockwise?

It depends upon what type of water you are discussing. Hurricanes do swirl counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern) due to the rotation of the earth. In sinks, toilets, etc., that does not apply. For those situations rotation is dependent upon any pre-existing movement of the water, shape of the container, smoothness of the container, and location of the drain.


Which one of the following planets has equal periods of rotation and revolution?

well, it just so happens I've done research in this type of stuff in school, and i can remember, and tell you that the 2 planets that have the closest period of rotation are Jupiter and Saturn.


Does the DNA helix rotate counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere?

The nature of DNA does not change according to which hemisphere the organism is in. The most common type of DNA is B-DNA, which is right-handed (rotates clockwise). A-DNA is also right-handed (rotates clockwise). Z-DNA is left-handed (rotates counter-clockwise).
