First Venus does not have a strong magnetic field of the same type as the Earth. The Earth N-S fields are created by the flow of liquid metal in the Earth's core. Venus has a very weak magnetic tendency produced by lightning in the upper clouds. As weather related effect that magnetism is high subject to change or disappearance. All known magnetic fields have both north and south poles as pairs of opposites. (Monopoles are still SciFi theory.) Properly speaking a compass points to both North and South with the opposite ends of the magnetic needle inside. By tradition, we simply choose only to mark and talk about the North end, ignoring the South end. Effectively the north and south fields flow from one to the other and "cancel" each other out at any good distance. Magnetism is only observed when you are inside that N-S flowing field. However for large objects the "Strength" of one or both poles may be spread around a larger area as multiple weaker minipoles. Thus a planet potentially could have one strong and easily recognized single location North or South pole and then a difficult to pin down opposite pole.

And in what direction would the Sun rise on Venus?
The Earth rotates from west to east. Thus the sun rises in the east on Earth. However, Venus has a rotation direction opposite to that of the Earth. Which means, Venus rotates from east to west on Venus. As a result, the sun sets in the east on Venus.
What the difference between venus and Jupiter?
Venus is an inferior planet i.e.its orbit is inside the earth's orbit. It does not have a moon It rotates from east to west. Jupiter is a superior planet i.e.its orbit is outside the earth's orbit. It has 63 moons. It rotates from west to east.
Does Venus rotate east to west or west to east?
From East to West, it is the only planet in our solar system to do so. All the others rotate West to East. Comments: That's not quite true. Uranus is another one. Here's a bit of pedantry: It depends how you define the North pole of a planet. There are two ways to do that, unfortunately. On one definition, Venus actually rotates from West to East. However, nearly everyone ignores that and says Venus rotates from East to West.
Does earth moves from east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
Does the earth rotate from west to east?
Yes, as observed from high in the north sky. The sun rises in the east thus the rotation goes from west to east.
What planet rotates east to west?
Uranus and Venus rotate east to west.
Why does the sunrise in the west and set in the east on Venus?
Because Venus spins west to east unlike Earth which spins east to west.
Why does the sunrise in the west and set in east on Venus?
Because Venus spins west to east unlike Earth which spins east to west.
What direction does the earth revolve?
Anticlockwise. The Earth travels from west to east. In fact all planet exept Venus travel west to east.

The Sun rises in the East or The sun rises in the east?
The Sun rises in the East. The following have capital letters: Planets(Mars, Venus etc.) Moon Sun Earth North South East West
What planet does not rotate from weat to east?
Venus rotates from East to West, the opposite of the Earth. It is thought though that it's North pole is actually at the opposite end to ours, meaning that it is rotating West to East, but doing it upside down.
And in what direction would the Sun rise on Venus?

What planet does the sun rises in the west and sets in the east?
Venus. Venus spins in reverse direction than that of Earth and the other planets.
