Venus rotates clockwise while most other planets in the Solar System rotate counter-clockwise. Astronomers speculate that this is because the planet's tidal effects in its dense atmosphere could've reversed its rotation billions of years ago. The only other planet in the Solar System that rotates unusually is Uranus.
Venus has a retrograde rotation. A retrograde rotation is the clockwise spin of a planet or moon as seen from above the planet's North Pole. Venus and Uranus are the only planets with a retrograde rotation. Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all have pro-grade rotation which is the counterclockwise spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets North Pole.
A good way to remember which planets have a retrograde rotation is that only planets which names end in "nus" have this type of rotation.
It's unusual in 2 ways : 1) It is the slowest of the planets at 243 Earth days for
just one spin.
2) It rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth and
all the other planets, except Uranus.
Venus rotation goes the other way then earth
becuse it spins the opposite way to the other planets
Because it is retro. Venus revolves west to east, not east to west
It rotates in the opposite direction.
random selectively
venus completes an orbit every 224.65 days.
its rotation is opposite of all the other planets.
The period of rotation for Venus is 243 days
Venus takes only 12 seconds to rotate on it's axis
Venus rotates on its axis clockwise which is referred to as retrograde rotation. All the other planets rotate counter-clockwise.
Venus rotation goes the other way then earth
Oddly, Venus rotates from east to west, the opposite direction from most other planets and moons. This type of rotation is called retrograde rotation, from the Latin words for "moving backward".
The rotation period of Venus is 243.0187 Earth days
Rotation of what? This question was in category "Venus" so maybe it's about Venus. For Venus it's 243 Earth days.
The rotation period of Venus is equal to about 243.02 Earth days.
Venus rotation about its axis, in which the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the east, is called a retrograde rotation.
venus completes an orbit every 224.65 days.
its rotation is opposite of all the other planets.
