Retrograde and prograde motion All eight planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun in the direction that the Sun is rotating, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. Six of the planets also rotate about their axis in this same direction. The exceptions—the planets with retrograde rotation—are Venus and Uranus.Venus's axial tilt is 177 degrees, which means it is spinning almost exactly in the opposite direction to its orbit. Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.77 degrees, so its axis of rotation is approximately parallel with the plane of the Solar System.he inclination of a celestial object is the angle between its orbital plane and another reference frame such as the equatorial plane of the object's primary. In the Solar System, inclination of the planets is measured from the ecliptic plane, which is the plane of Earth 's orbit around the Sun.

Apparent retrograde motion This article is about the apparent motion of planets as observed from a particular vantage point. For retrograde motions of celestial bodies relative to a gravitationally central object, see Retrograde motion. As Earth (blue) passes a superior planet, such as Mars (red), the superior planet will temporarily appear to reverse its motion across the sky.

Orbit Two bodies of different mass orbiting a common barycenter. The relative sizes and type of orbit are similar to the Pluto–Charon system. In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of an object around a point in space, for example the orbit of a planet about a star or a natural satellite around a planet. Normally, orbit refers to a regularly repeating path around a body, although it may occasionally be used for a non recurring trajectory or a path around a point in space.

- This means that it orbits Neptune a direction opposite the planet's rotation. It is the only large moon in the Solar System to do this. Astronomers are not quite sure of the reason for this retrograde orbit. Some believe that it condensed this way from the original material of the early solar system.

Mars Exploration Rover Venus does not have life or water oceans like Earth does. Venus also rotates backwards compared to Earth and the other planets.Venus is sometimes called Earth's twin because Venus and Earth are almost the same size, have about the same mass (they weigh about the same), and have a very similar composition (are made of the same material).

- If the earth abruptly changed its rotational direction, probably many things we see every day would be destroyed. Skipping over the transition, however, an earth rotating in the opposite direction would, among other things, cause the sun, moon and stars to appear to rise in the west and set in the east.

For retrograde motions of celestial bodies relative to a gravitationally central object, see Retrograde motion.As Earth (blue) passes a superior planet, such as Mars (red), the superior planet will temporarily appear to reverse its motion across the sky.Retrograde motion is the apparent motion of a planet to move in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point.Direct motion or prograde motion is motion in the same direction as other bodies.he more distant planets retrograde more frequently, as they don't move as far in their orbits while Earth completes an orbit itself. The center of the retrograde motion occurs when the body is exactly opposite the sun, and therefore high in the ecliptic at local midnight.

Prograde and retrograde motion Retrograde rotation. Most planets, including Earth, spin in the direct sense: they spin in the same direction as they orbit the Sun (that is, their north rotational pole and north orbital pole point in similar directions, more or less in the direction of the Solar north pole).

Orbit and Rotation of Jupiter Orbit and Rotation of Jupiter. The only planet whose center of mass in relation to the Sun lies outside the volume of the Sun is Jupiter. The mean distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 778,000,000 kilometers. It takes Jupiter 11.86 years to orbit around the Sun, so a typical year on Jupiter is 11.86 Earth years. This forms a 5:2 orbital resonance with Saturn because it is 2/5 the orbital period of the planet.

'Zombie' Planet's Rogue Orbit Around Star Shocks Scientists 'Zombie planet' gets weirder. Fomalhaut b is a giant alien planet that is nearly three times the mass of Jupiter. It was the first alien planet ever directly imaged in visible light. The planet orbits the dust-shrouded star Fomalhaut and is located about 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Austrinus.ew observations of the planet Fomalhaut b by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed the oddball orbit, which has wild extremes between its closest and farthest points from the parent star and appears to cross through a vast minefield of dusty debris.

Why Doesnât Venus Have a Moon? The second impact was opposite from the first in that it reversed the planet's spin, says Alemi. Venus's new direction of rotation caused the body of the planet to absorb the moon's orbital energy via tides, rather than adding to the moon's orbital energy as before. So the moon spiraled inward until it collided and merged with Venus in a dramatic, fatal encounter.

Solar System Planets: Order of the 8 (or 9) Planets Uranus. The seventh planet from the sun, Uranus is an oddball. It’s the only giant planet whose equator is nearly at right angles to its orbit — it basically orbits on its side. Astronomers think the planet collided with some other planet-size object long ago, causing the tilt.

- According to this new press release (via Bad Astronomy), a single collision would have left Uranus's moons in retrograde orbits, opposite the direction of the planet's spin. The new theory, based on simulations, is that Uranus was hit by at least two bodies.

10 Strange and Mysterious Planets Outside the Solar System The Black Hole Planet. TrES-2b is a lot like Jupiter: they are both nearly the same size, and it orbits a star that is similar to the sun – except, it is some 750 light years away. This Jupiter-class gas giant reflects less than 1 percent of the light which strikes.

The Solar System The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, though all except Mercury are very nearly circular. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane (called the ecliptic and defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit) . The ecliptic is inclined only 7 degrees from the plane of the Sun's equator.

Differential Rotation In the Solar System, the outer objects feel less of a gravitational pull from the Sun. They must therefore orbit at slower speeds than the inner objects in order to maintain their orbital radius. This is known as Keplerian Rotation and results in the inner objects overtaking and racing ahead of the outer objects.

- Although the comet in the animation is orbiting the Sun in a counter clockwise direction, there are many comets that orbit in the opposite direction. As can be seen from the diagram, the tail of the comet always point away from the Sun, so after a comet has passed the Sun it actually travels tail first.

Counterclockwise, but there are exceptions Unlike some Moons (like Neptune’s Triton) that go backwards, we can’t blame Venus and Uranus on gravitational capture. There are ideas out there, such as big collisions in the young Solar System, but there is currently no compelling evidence that favors any one theory over the other.
