Do all planets spin in the same direction?
No. Uranus ‘rolls’ instead of spins. Venus spins the ‘wrong’ way. Incidently both these planets present big problems for the evolutionary Big Bang nebular hypothesis. Venus provides a major problem—the nebular hypothesis predicts that as the nebula spiralled inwards, all the resulting planets would rotate in the same direction (prograde). But Venus rotates in the opposite direction, called retrograde. Evolutionists once tried to explain this away by proposing that Venus rotated prograde at first, but it had a bulge on which gravitational tidal forces on Earth could act, and turn the rotation around. Aside from the weakness of tidal forces, which decrease with the cube of the distance, it is now known that Venus is even rounder than Earth so there is no bulge on which to act. http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/… Uranus’s equator is at 98 degrees to the ecliptic.2 Instead of spinning like a top as it orb
Hmm, I like the idea that jed slade said about the Earth rotating opposite in the past, and about the left handedness thing, but that is impossible. If the Earth started spinning in the opposite direction it would take like a million years (or loads more) for it to slow down, let alone start turning the other way. And what with the lava currents running under the surface, which would also slow down the slow down… and if that had happened, then there would be more evidence of an ice age on one side of the planet (the one away from the sun) and a desert on the other, because the atmosphere would disipate alot as well because the gravity would decrease (thats why the moon has less atmosphere than us, its smaller = less grav= less atmosphere) Anyway, even if it was possible for the earth to change spin way, it would have no impact on leftness or rightness. You might as well say that facing east all your life will impact it just as much as facing west, or north or south even 🙂 Anyway, no
