From East to West, it is the only planet in our solar system to do so.
All the others rotate West to East.
Comments: That's not quite true. Uranus is another one.
Here's a bit of pedantry: It depends how you define the North pole of a planet.
There are two ways to do that, unfortunately.
On one definition, Venus actually rotates from West to East. However, nearly everyone ignores that and says Venus rotates from East to West.
Venus
west to east
Venus is the only planet in the solar system that has a retrograde rotation.
The Earth rotates from west to east. Thus the sun rises in the east on Earth. However, Venus has a rotation direction opposite to that of the Earth. Which means, Venus rotates from east to west on Venus. As a result, the sun sets in the east on Venus.
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
Venus and Uranus are the planets which rotate from East to West.
Uranus and Venus rotate east to west.
east to west (clockwise)
Venus
Venus & Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is from east to west. All of the other planets including earth rotate from west to east.
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
A large asteroid collided a very long time ago, reversing its rotation on its axis.
Both Uranus and Venus spin from east to west. If you want to know more facts you could go to this site below http://www.universetoday.com/19279/10-interesting-facts-about-uranus/
west to east
Venus is the only planet in the solar system that has a retrograde rotation.
The hypothesis that is most accepted now is that Venus was struck by a very large object that made it's rotation slow and in a retrograde fashion.
Because Venus spins west to east unlike Earth which spins east to west.
