Venus has a "retrograde" rotation, compared to its orbit around the Sun. Unlike the other major planets, Venus rotates in a slow clockwise direction (from east to west).
Scientists speculate that Venus may have collided with another large object during its early formation. Similar theories have been advanced for the formation of our Moon.
