The planet Venus travels through space in a counter-clockwise orbit around the Sun, which is the same as all of the other major planets. The unusual thing about Venus is that it does not spin (rotate) in the same manner as other planets. It spins extremely slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above) rather than counter-clockwise as would be expected. Scientists theorize that a collision with some planet-sized object early in its existence negated the normal spin of the planet.
(*The planet Uranus is sometimes said to spin clockwise, but this is because it was knocked onto its side, and is angled by more than 90 degrees from its orbital plane. It is still spinning in the direction that it initially spun.)

What is the fastest way to get to Venus?
At the moment it is not possible for a person from Earth to travel to Venus.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
How does a black hole travel through space?
Black holes travel through space just as anything else (i.e. galaxies, stars, etc) travels.
How fast can a space shuttle travel to mars without killing the astronauts?
Theoretical, infinate, if you travel through warp space.
How does thermal energy travel through space from Sun to Venus?
Due to the vacuum of space there is no convection or conduction. Energy is transported by photons from the Sun to Venus (radiation).
What is the fastest way to get to Venus?
At the moment it is not possible for a person from Earth to travel to Venus.
Which do not travel through empty space?
sound cannot travel through empty space.
What type of material can travel through space?
Sound and Light can travel through space.
What type of waves travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
Is Venus another sign of a Pisces?
Not at all. Venus is a planet which can travel through the constellation of Pisces.
Can a black hole travel through space?
Yes, a black hole could travel through space.
What are electromagnetic waves that can travel through space?
Any electromagnetic wave can travel through space, and they all do.
What type of wave can't travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
What can travel through space without a(n) medium?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
Where does an asteroid travel?
Asteroids travel through space.
