Clockwise
Counterclockwise rotation.
Actually, Earth's rotation is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This direction causes the Sun to rise in the east and set in the west.
Venus rotates on its axis in a clockwise direction, which is opposite to the counterclockwise rotation of most other planets in our solar system including Earth.
Prograde rotation is the rotation of an object in the same direction as its orbit around another object, while retrograde rotation is the rotation in the opposite direction of its orbit. For example, most planets in our solar system have prograde rotation, where they rotate counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. Venus, however, has retrograde rotation, rotating clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole.
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".
Wind turbines typically spin counterclockwise when viewed from above. This rotation allows the blades to align with wind direction effectively, generating power as they turn.
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
The moon rotates counterclockwise on its axis as viewed from above the North Pole. This rotation is also known as prograde rotation.
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Clockwise as viewed from the front.
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.
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
