A study by Gondwana Research confirms that the Iberian Peninsula is rotating clockwise due to the movement of the African ...

Most spiral galaxies rotate with their arms trailing the direction of spin, a characteristic consistent with current astronomical models. The perceived rotational direction (clockwise or ...

Hurricanes and low pressure systems do spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Tornadoes usually do, though not always. The behavior of the intense thundershowers that produce tornadoes ...

Tornadoes do occur in the Southern Hemisphere, albeit at a greatly reduced frequency than in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily because it includes the U.S., which hosts about 75 percent of the ...

It’s all relative. For the most part, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which way galaxies are spinning. Galaxies’ spins seem to be related only when the galaxies are very close neighbors.
