It makes the difference @Mi-Amigo   

If a planet is viewed from above it spins one way

If a planet is viewed from below it spins the other way  .....conceptually 

There are two planets in our Solar System which are odd.

Just a making a point

Anyway get my star shined up!   Many thanks will post my answers shortly and I won't give you 

a head-ache 

This is my world North pole, South pole, Side view

And what is it that stops them in the Antipodes from falling off?

Come to think of it, if it is spinning so fast, why don't we all get fling off into the void?

Oh, I know: Gravity sucks... 😖
