Colloquially, it means to give it a one quarter turn. Imagine taking a dial that currently points upwards, and rotating it to point rightward. That is a 90° rotation. Similarly, the amount by which the minute hand in an analog clock moves in fifteen minutes should be 90°.

If you are looking to do this mathematically, the easiest way is to use a rotation matrix. In this case, you are rotating around the point 0, 0.

How do you rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise?

To rotate an object 90 degrees counter-clockwise, you can visualize or use a coordinate system. If you have a point (x, y), the new coordinates after the rotation will be (-y, x). For more complex shapes, apply this transformation to each point of the shape. Alternatively, if you're working with a physical object, simply turn it left (counter-clockwise) until it is oriented 90 degrees from its original position.

Which planet is tilted 90 degrees on its side?

Uranus is the planet that is tilted 90 degrees on its side, causing it to rotate on its side as it orbits the Sun. This unique tilt is thought to be the result of a collision with a massive object early in its formation.

Is a 270 clockwise rotation the same as a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation?

Yes, a 270-degree clockwise rotation is the same as a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation. When you rotate an object 270 degrees clockwise, you effectively move it 90 degrees in the opposite direction, which is counterclockwise. Both rotations will result in the same final orientation of the object.
