This inner planet spins with a retrograde rotation?

Venus is the inner planet that spins with a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun. This phenomena causes the Sun to rise in the west and set in the east on Venus.


What planet is a inner planet and has a retrograde rotation?

It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).


Which planet has a retrograde orbit?

None of the eight planets in the solar system has a retrograde orbit. However, two, Venus and Uranus, have retrograde rotation around their axes. As to whether any exoplanet has a retrograde orbit or not, that is unknown since there is little or no knowledge of their rotation.


What planet rotates retrograde?

Venus is the planet that rotates retrograde, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system. Its rotation is very slow and takes longer than its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a unique day that is longer than its year.


What planet has a retrograde rotation and is a inner planet?

It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).


What is the only planet that spins counter clockwise?

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.


What is a retrogade planet?

A planet isn't retrograde - retrograde means the direction a planet moves in relation to how we see it here on Earth or other perspectives. Planets sometimes appear to move backward due to Earth moving as well.


What moon is in a retrograde orbit?

The moon Phoebe, a moon of Saturn, is known to be in a retrograde orbit. Its orbit is opposite to the rotation of the planet it orbits, making it unique compared to most other moons in our solar system.


What is a planet's backward motion called?

The term "retrograde motion" means that a satellite (moon) moves in the opposite direction from what would be expected or common. A retrograde orbit is one opposite the rotation of the planet being orbited. This is the case with satellites of Jupiter and Saturn that are likely captured asteroids. The planet Venus exhibits retrograde rotation because it spins very slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above). The dwarf planet Pluto likewise rotates clockwise. All other planets display counter-clockwise rotations, and all planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise. (The planet Uranus is tilted on its side, and could be considered retrograde as well.)


What planet has something that no other planet has?

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins in the opposite direction to the other planets. Its rotation is retrograde compared to its orbit around the Sun, making it unique in this aspect.


What is it called when a planet appears to move bacwards in is orbit?

"retrograde motion"


When a planet spins the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called?

retrograde rotation
