Hurricanes spin counterclockwise (like all low pressure centers in the northern hemisphere) because of the Coriolis Effect. Because the equator rotates faster than other areas of the Earth's surface, ...

Usually, tornadoes in the U.S. rotate counterclockwise. Coriolis force, imparted due to the Earth’s rotation, causes air around low centers to circulate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.

Winds always rotate in a counterclockwise sense around hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere. Winds in tornadoes usually rotate counterclockwise, but in perhaps five percent of tornadoes, clockwise ...

MIKE MOSS SAYS: Barbara, I wonder if there is a satellite loop that is running backwards (some can be set to loop forward, loop backwards, or "rock" one direction and then the other), as tropical ...

Just as the Earth, Moon, and Sun rotate, galaxies also rotate, and there are two directions: clockwise and counterclockwise. If the universe were completely random, the proportion of galaxies rotating ...

As bizarre as Venus appears today --- a hellish cloud-cloaked world of extraordinary surface pressures and surface temperatures not fit for man or beast --- it is also one of only two full-sized ...
