Which way does Saturn spin?

Answer 1

The sun is gigantic nuclear fusion engine. It works on the principles of stallar nucleosynthesis, and you can use the link below to go to that question and learn more.

As nuclear fusion occurs in the Suns core, the temperature increases. This expands the outer envelope of the Sun (Like a heated balloon), this expansion decreases the pressure on the core, which then decreases the amount of nuclear fusion that occurs, and thus temperature. This reduction causes the outer envelope to contract, which causes an increase in pressure, which causes an increase in nuclear fusion, which creates more heat, the outer envelope expands and well…. ad infinitum.

Answer 2

The sun converts hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion, liberating energy in the process.

The sun, our local star, is the life source for earth. If the sun died, so would life on earth. (A few of the simplest organisms might stay alive in permanent ice.) Radiant energy from this nuclear fusion reactor warms earth, drives weather and climate, and keeps us from the deepest freeze you could possibly imagine. A link can be found below

Without sun light, plants would not be able to complete photosynthesis! They would die, followed by pretty much everything else.
the sun warm up the planets! :)

Answer 3

Saturn rotates on its axis from west to east, in the opposite direction of most of the other planets in the solar system. This means that if you were observing Saturn from above its North Pole, it would appear to be spinning counterclockwise.

Answer 4

The same direction the planets orbit. Whether that's clockwise or counter clockwise depends on where you look at it from.

OK, so let's look from above the Earth's North Pole. Then we see the Sun

spins counter clockwise.

Answer 5

Within our solar system, almost all of the rotational energy seems to be counter-clockwise. The Earth and all the other planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise, and the Sun and Earth spin CCW.

Answer 6

With a few exceptions they all turn the same way as they rotate round their orbits, which is anticlockwise viewed from above the north pole. Venus rotates slowly the other way while Uranus has an axis that is tilted by 98 degrees.

Answer 7

Yes, Jupiter rotates once just under 10 hours. Saturn is second, rotating once in a little over 10 hours.

The axial spin rate is not correlated with distance from the sun, as a previous answer suggested. Instead, the laws of conservation of angular momentum suggest that the more concentrated a mass becomes, the faster it spins. Jupiter's large mass makes it spin quite fast.

The sun, vastly larger than Jupiter, spins only once every 25 days (depending on latitude).

Answer 8

Counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise from the Southern Hemisphere. The hands on a clock move clockwise when viewed from the front and counter clockwise form the back of a see thru clock.

Answer 9

Almost all the rotation in our solar system is counter-clockwise as viewed from high above the Earth's north pole. This includes the direction of rotation of the Earth's spin, and the orbits of all of the planets.

Answer 10

Towards the East. That's why the Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise in the East.
