Venus and Uranus both do this. Venus is the clearest example.
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
It rotates in opposite (retrograde) direction from other planets
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
Venus and Uranus both do this. Venus is the clearest example.
Actually there are two, Venus and Uranus.
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate in a retrograde motion compared to their orbits around the Sun. This means their rotation is in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
You probably mean Venus, but Uranus is the other one.

This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
Venus and Uranus are two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction of their orbit around the Sun. This retrograde motion is quite unique compared to the other planets which have a prograde rotation.
Most planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in the same direction, counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. However, Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they have retrograde or backward orbits.
