Why don’t all planets reverse the direction of rotation as they pass the equator of our solar system?
Astrophysicists may give a better explanation, but the main difference between our solar system and the galaxy is the difference in the amount of mass. Mass and rotational motion are what determine the amount of force coming off the edge of the solar system or galaxy. It’s not simply by passes the equator and going from one hemisphere to the other that causes an object to reverse rotation or experience a polar shift. These affects are the direct result of the amount of force being applied to an object as it passes the equator. In other words, there’s not enough energy coming from our solar equator to cause changes to Pluto’s rotation as it passes from one hemisphere to the other. Try to imagine the difference in energy coming from our solar system versus the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is made up of 200 to 400 billion stars (solar systems). Can you see the difference between that and our solar system which has a total of nine planets revolving around a single star?
