Tornadoes rotate in a circe due to electricity. The particles in the air have a nuetral charge and when two places in the electromagnetic field come close with opposite charges, they both charge and repel the air particles. The nuetral particles drifts towards the positively charged EM field which charges it positively. Once it is charged, the negative EM field attracts it and begins to charge it negatively. Once it is charged negatively the positive EM field attracts it again. This cycle will produce a circular motion which it what causes tornadoes to spin.

Do tornadoes go off the radar?
Sometimes tornadoes can evade radar detection. This most often happens if the tornado is short lived, and thus is missed as the radar beam rotates, or occurs far away from the radar. Fortunately this occurs less often with strong tornadoes.
Does moon circle the earth in the same direction as the earth rotates?
Yes, the moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates, from west to east. This is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking.
What would happen as a result of earth rotating through a full circle?
As the Earth rotates through a full circle, the different parts of the planet experience daylight and nighttime. This rotation causes daily cycles of sunrise and sunset, and is responsible for the changing of the seasons.
Does the sun rotate in a circle or in a oval?
The sun rotates in an approximately circular path at its equator due to its rotation on its axis. This path is not a perfect circle but closer to a slightly oval shape due to various factors influencing its rotation, such as its equatorial bulge and differential rotation.
What a planet rotates on?
A planet rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from its North Pole to its South Pole. This rotation determines the length of a day on the planet.
