It doesn't always - but:
If there is any radial motion in the bowl (or if any starts, say during a flush)
then the radial motion will be exaggerated as the water enters the drain
(smaller diameter).

How does a satellite orbit a planet?

Ever seen water go down a plughole in your bath? When a satellite or moon gets caught in a planets gravitational field it vortexes in the same way. Only it moves toward the planet very slowly. Hope I Helped


Does the all planets rotate counter-clockwise on their axis?

It depends on your veiwpoint. The normal solar system model shows earth with its north pole pointing up and the south pole pointing down, with the celestrial poles in the same direction. If it is considered like this, then the planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise as some would have it) direction when looking down from overhead.


What is clockwise?

Clockwise is the direction in which the hands of a clock move, going from the top to the right, then down, left, and back up. It is also described as the direction that is considered to be "rightward" of a circle or circular shape.


Where does the water go when the tide is out?

When the tide is out, some of the water flows back into the ocean, while other portions may flow into nearby estuaries, rivers, or lakes. This movement helps maintain water circulation and allows nutrients to be carried to different ecosystems. The water follows the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, causing the tide cycle to fluctuate throughout the day.


How is the earth is rotating whether in clockwise or anticlockwise?

It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.

The water goes down the plughole/drain and then down the pipes.


Do runner beans grow clockwise?

yes i think they do,but i would like to know if in australia they grow anti clockwise, as the water running down the plug goes the other way.


What direction does water flow down in Australia?

No trip to the equator is complete without a real-life demonstration of this phenomenon.Tourists watch as their guide shows them water swirling out in one direction, and when they step over the equator, it goes out the other, and as people say. seeing is believing. Or is it?It is true that the Coriolis force works slowly and takes its time, but it is thought that it turns storms in the northern hemisphere clockwise, and turns storms in the southern hemisphere anticlockwise. As a result, many people believe that, due to the Coriolis force, that water goes down the plughole in Australia anticlockwise, and in London, clockwise.This is not true. Water does swirl as it goes down the plughole, but the real influences are where the plughole and tap are positioned.Storms being whirled around by the Coriolis force and water going down plugholes are completely unrelated.No matter where you are, it can go either way.Partly quoted from Actually Factually by Guy Campbell


Which way does the moon orbit the sun?

Counter clockwise (or anti-clockwise) when looking down onto the north pole.


Why things rotates in anti clockwise direction?

Usually because the makers of those things have made them to turn anti-clockwise. "Spontaneous" and permanent anti-clockwise turning of things is practically non-existent (if we discount the turning of whole planets). A well-know urban legend says that water going down a drain on the southern hemisphere of the Earth always and spontaneously turns anti-clockwise. That has however been extensively tested and turned out not to be true.


Which way does water go down the drain counter or clockwise?

clockwise


Which way does the water run in Australia?

In Australia the water and vines go to the lest. so basically the water does down the drain to the left. also the vines go to the lest too.


Which way does water go down a drain?

Contrary to popular belief, the water is not affected by the motion of the Earth, or by which hemisphere the bowl is in.Water drains in a downward direction. How water goes down the plughole is determined by the state of the water when the plug is pulled, the construction of the bowl, and the shape and size of the plughole. It doesn't always go the same way. The vortex direction is dependent on small local factors, and the slightest impulse (motion, temperature) makes it unpredictably random.On a larger scale, the airflow into cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere is counter-clockwise, and in the Southern hemisphere clockwise. So if the Coriolis effect were the dominant factor, that would be the direction of the draining.


Why do fans rotate in anticlockwise direction?

Anti clockwise is used in the winter to bring heat down to the room. during the summer you would use the clockwise motion


Which way does water go down the drain in the US?

Why electrons revolve around the nucleus in anti-clockwise direction?

The direction of electron movement around the nucleus is based on convention and can be either clockwise or anti-clockwise. There is no specific reason why electrons would revolve around the nucleus in one direction over the other. Both directions are equally valid and are used interchangeably in atomic models.
