Simple answer: Venus has "retrograde" rotation.
A more complicated answer. Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth and most other planets in our solar system. The Earth's rotation is "prograde". It rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.
However it is possible to define the "North Pole" of Venus in two different ways.
It can be said that, on one definition, Venus also rotates in the direction that's
counterclockwise as viewed from above its North Pole.
Still, nearly always, you will find the rotation referred to as "retrograde", so the simple answer is OK.
Anyway, Venus definitely rotates in a direction that's opposite to its direction of orbital revolution.

∙ 13y agoOnly Venus is in retrograde rotation. On the other hand I have no idea concerning Uranus since it spends half of its year with one pole toward the sun and half with the other pole toward the sun.

Charon stays in the same place in Pluto's sky but the moon moves across earth's sky what causes the difference?
Well we move in a pro-grade rotation. This could be the difference because Pluto's moon Charon stays in the same place for Pluto.... but it moves for our planet because of our pro-grade rotation....

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.
Does Neptune have a pro-grade or retrograde revolution around the sun?
yes
Does Uranus have prograde rotation?
Uranus has a pro grade rotation and that's a fact
What is unique about the rotation of Venus?
Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.

Would that be Sonix or Sonix Pro? The Sonix is a grade down from the Sonix Pro. If you were asking me, I would tell you to get the Sonix Pro. Trust me... I own one. It is a great gun for the money.
