Venus has no moon and evidences retrograde rotation from east to west (orbits "upside down", rotating the opposite direction to its orbit) - such that a Venusian observer might see the Sun rise in the west, and set in the east.

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.
Which planet rotates east to west which is opposite from the other planets?
Venus
Which planet rotates backward from east to west?
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
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.
Is it true that high tides occur later in the west?
Yes. As the earth rotates from east to west, the pull of the gravity of the moon (which causes tides), moves across the earth from east to west.

What planet rotates east to west?
Uranus and Venus rotate east to west.
Which planet rotates east to west which is opposite from the other planets?
Venus
Why do the sun and moon rise in the east?
This is due to Earth's rotation. Earth rotates from west to east.
Which planet rotates backward from east to west?
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
Which planet orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
No planet does this. You probably mean the planet that ROTATES on its axis in an east to west direction. The answer is Venus. Uranus also does this, but with an extreme axial tilt.
Why do you see the sun rises in the east?
That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.That is because the Earth rotates from West to East.
What planet can revolves around the sun west to east and rotates in the same direction in 24 hours?
Earth

What directiondoes the moon turn?
During the course of a month, the moon moves through the stars from west to east, and also rotates from west to east on its own axis. (During the course of one day, the moon appears to move through the sky from east to west, but that doesn't really happen.)
What planet rotates from west to east?
Venus & Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is from east to west. All of the other planets including earth rotate from west to east.
