What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?
Venus is the planet that rotates in the opposite direction to all the other planets.
How does retrograde rotation compared with the rotation of Earth?
It means that the rotation is in the opposite direction.
What do you call the motion when a planet heads in the opposite direction?
A planet's predominant movement (NOT the daily movement related to Earth's rotation, but the apparent movement compared to the background stars) is from west to east. If a planet moves in this direction it is said to be "prograde", if it moves in the opposite direction, it is said to be "retrograde".

What is pro-grade rotation?
"Prograde" means "in the normal direction". Everything in THIS solar system rotates counter-clockwise, or CCW. Well, ALMOST everything; there are two planets whose rotation is "retrograde", which means "in the opposite direction". The planet Venus rotates - VERY SLOWLY! - in a "retrograde" or clockwise direction.
How much time does each planet take for a single rotation?
This varies, depending mainly on collisions that have occured in the past. The rotation periods in days (time taken for the planet to rotate once on its axis relative to background stars) for each of the planets is as follows; Mercury = 58.646 Venus = -243.019 (spins in opposite direction) Earth = 0.997 Mars = 1.026 Jupiter = 0.410 Saturn = 0.426 Uranus = -0.718 (spins in opposite direction) Neptune = 0.671 This is different to an `apparent day` as an `apparent day` factors in the movement of the planet around the sun during its rotation. negative results for Venus and Uranus show that these planets spin in the opposite direction to most other planets (retrograde).
