It takes 84.02 Earth years (sidereal years) to orbit the sun. And the rotation of Uranus on its axis it takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 24 seconds.

Which best describes the rotational motion of Uranus as it orbits the sun?
As Uranus orbits the sun, it rolls like a ball
All planets revolve in a counterclockwise motion?
no, Venus and Uranus do not
Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?
Venus and Uranus spin awkwardly compared to the other planets in the solar system. It all comes down to when the solar system and the planets were formed, they were averagely hit at a certain angle causing Venus to rotate in reverse axis and Uranus to rotate on it side axis.
Which two planets have Retrograde motion?
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.

There are two planets that rotate clockwise, i.e. with retrograde motion; Venus and Uranus.
Which two planets have Retrograde motion?
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.
What direction is the orbital and rotational motion of most of the objects in the solar system?
To the east, but Venus and Uranus' rotation is to the west.
Which planet rotates by retrograde motion?
All planets orbit the sun in the direction that the sun is rotating. There are actually two planets that rotate by retrograde motion and are exceptions to this rule. These planets are Venus and Uranus.
What is the planet that rotates by retrograde motion?
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
What planet rotates from west to east?
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.
Which planet rotate in retrograde motion?
