SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Every planet in our solar system except for Venus and Uranus rotates counter-clockwise as seen from above the North Pole; that is to say, from west to east.

Detailed explanation-2: -The next four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, are all gas giants. All planets orbit the Sun in the counterclockwise direction (right-hand rule) as seen from above the ecliptic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most planets, including Jupiter, rotate counterclockwise. When it comes to rotation, Jupiter is the leading planet once again; it has the fastest spin. Jupiter completes its rotation in just under 10 Earth hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -All other planets spin anti-clockwise on their axis and orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. Venus also orbits the Sun anti-clockwise, but its unusual axis rotation is due to being upside down – it was knocked off its upright position earlier in its history!
