Hello @Mi-Amigo

Query on Question 3

"Which is the only planet in our solar system which rotates clockwise on its axis?"

Can you clarify that it is on it's Axis and not around the Sun ~ thank you

Edited to ask

Are we to assume that we are looking at the planet from the North Pole and not the South Pole.

Thanking you

No problem clarifying the question @TallTrees

For Q3, it`s the name of the planet which "spins"/rotates clockwise on its own axis and not which orbits the Sun.

Imagine you are looking at the planet from space and can see which it spins.

Hope that helps and look forward to pm with your answers.

or the South Pole?

Many thanks....

Not wishing to make the question complicated, rather than thinking about looking from the North Pole or South Pole, imagine you are looking at the planet from space and can see which it spins on its axis.
