Which planet rotates backward from east to west?
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
Which planet rotates the opposite of most planets?
Venus
Which planet rotates east to west which is opposite from the other planets?
Venus
What is pro-grade rotation?
"Prograde" means "in the normal direction". Everything in THIS solar system rotates counter-clockwise, or CCW. Well, ALMOST everything; there are two planets whose rotation is "retrograde", which means "in the opposite direction". The planet Venus rotates - VERY SLOWLY! - in a "retrograde" or clockwise direction.
What is different about Venus compared to the other planets?
Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System even though it is the second closest to the Sun. The atmosphere traps the heat into the planet and heats it up.

Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
What do you call a planet that rotates in the opposite direction of the other planets?
The reverse of the standard rotation, i.e. in the opposite direction of the orbital motion, is called retrograde. This term is most aptly applied to Venus, which rotates east-to-west (clockwise) while retaining its perpendicular orientation to its orbital plane.
What planet spins in a reverse direction to all the others?
The planet Venus no longer rotates in its original direction, but turns very slowly clockwise (east to west). This is believed to have been caused by a huge collision sometime after the formation of the planets.
