When viewed from earth how does Uranus appear to rotate?
Uranus's axis of rotation is tilted at about 98 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane. This means its axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit. It looks as if it's rotating "on its side" so to speak. So rotation is clockwise when viewed from "above " the plane of its orbit. ("Above" is the direction above the Earth's North Pole.)
What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
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.
Which cardinal direction does the earth rotate?
The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star, Polaris, the Earth turns anti clockwise
How many stars does Uranus?
Uranus is a planet. It does not have any stars. Like Earth, it orbits around the Sun, which is a star. The Sun does not belong to any planet.
When we view from earth how does uranus appear to rotate?
On its side.

What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
Clockwise .
Which planet in the solar system spins in the opposite direction?
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
How does Uranus move clockwise or counter clockwise?
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.

How many days does it tak for Uranus to rotate around the sun?
18889.34 in earth days
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate from east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. Most planets, including Earth, rotate from west to east.
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
How long time does it take Uranus to rotate around its own axis?
It takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds to rotate around it's own axix. In other words, a day on Uranus is shorter than a day on Earth.
How long does uranus rotate around the sun and earth?
84 days and 17hrs and 14 min you peoples
