How does Venus rotate on its axis?

It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.


Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?

Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.


What are the 2 planets that spin backwards?

Venus and Uranus are the two planets that spin backwards compared to the majority of the planets in our solar system. Venus rotates in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing its rotational axis to be nearly parallel to its orbit.


Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?

NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.


A spinning planet rotates in what direction?

Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.


Do all planets spin on in axis in the same direction?

No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.


Which one of the planets spin clockwise around its own axis?

Venus.


What is the planet Venus's rotation and revolution?

Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.


Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?

The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise


How many earth years does Venus take to spin once on its axis?

Venus rotates once in 243 days.


What is the rotation of Venus' in year length?

Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis (0.615 years) relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.


How does the length of a day on venus compare with the length of its year?

Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.
