All planets rotate, and an axis is the imaginary line through a planet's poles.

Venus rotates, but more slowly than any other major planet, and in a clockwise direction as seen from "above" (it somehow lost its original counterclockwise spin, probably due to a collision). It takes 243 Earth days to make one rotation, which is longer than it takes to go around the Sun (225 Earth days).
