Well I'm getting rotational about our rotations, but I take it that the earth spins CCW whilst it orbits the sun CCW... Thanks and now I will sit an think about this amazing coincidences.... These data are just what would be expected if the Solar System formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust etc yes even if it was done in an instant, I doubt God would want to complicate things in any unnatural way.

(These definitions would of course be redundant if Allen Daves would accept commonly accepted terminology). In the main, everything in the Solar System rotates (from above the North Pole) anticlockwise (or CCW). There are complications with Venus which has an axis-to-orbit inclination of ~177 deg and Uranus which has an axis-to-orbit inclination of ~98 deg. Both of these are greater than 90 deg which means that if they were to be returned to something like that of the other planets, then their rotation would also be CCW. There are some other anomalies associated with certain minor satellites which are commonly thought to be captured asteroids etc. These data are just what would be expected if the Solar System formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust etc. I have attached a file containing useful numerical data pertaining to the bodies of the Solar System.

When I was an Instructor I always endeavoured to get the students involved to the point they taught each other, (and me) .. I put the chalk in their hands literally. So today i got another brainstorm that might help the still earth view. Can someone give me a picture of the solar system... Looking down from the North above the earth and sun, does the earth run clockwise or anticlockwise around the sun... Need to know that.... AND from the same view does the world turn, rotate, spin, gyrate (LOL ) clockwise or anticlockwise.. need to know.. Big things may come out of this.. a funny thing happened on the way to the moon, er my record player today as I shifted it to another room... something like the glass of water with a tooth pick floating...
