The Earth, like most other planets in the solar system, rotates in a counter-clockwise direction. There are a couple of exceptions to this rule, but we’ll get into that later. Why Does Earth Spin? Essentially, the Earth spins because there is no force out there in the solar system to...
They can form out of many types of storms but the most common is called the Supercell where if the winds come from just the right direction with just the right strength, the storm begins to spin and can form a tornado. Tornadoes can spin clockwise and counter-clockwise. Another type of t...
The initial spin periods calculated from the first month of the SLR observations are: Larets: Tinitial = 0.8239 s, Stella: Tinitial = 13.2048 s. Analysis of the apparent effects indicates the counter-clockwise spin direction of the satellites. The twice more heavy Stella lost its rotational ...
How are the motions and positions of Earth and the Sun connected to what happens on Earth? Earth’s rotation on its axis determines the length of the day. Earth’s orbit around the Sun determines the length of the year. The tilt of Earth’s rotational axis with respect to the plane of...
the Earth would appear to be rotating counter-clockwise. Because of this, to those standing on the Earth’s surface, the Sun appears to be moving around us in a westerly direction at a rate of 15° an hour (or 15′ a minute). This is true of all celestial objects observed in the ...
Imagine riding on a merry-go-round (it moves once per day in a counter-clockwise direction). Imagine that the merry-go-round is next to a campfire. You can look out from the edge of the merry-go-round and see the campfire some of the time, but you can’t see the campfire all...

The main physical features of a hurricane are its rainbands, eye and eyewall. These features take shape as surface air from all directions spirals in toward the center of the storm in a counter-clockwise pattern (or clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere). ...
1) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the 660 g rotating bar of 2.0 m in length and rotating counter clockwise about its center at 120 rpm? 2) What is the direction of the angular moment The rotational inertia of a collapsing star changes to one third...
Nearly 42,000 years ago, when Earth’s magnetic fields reversed, this triggered major environmental changes, extinction events, and long-term changes in human behavior, a new study reports. The findings, made possible by a new radiocarbon record derived from New Zealand’s ancient kaur...
