Venus
It's called a Rouge planet.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
The planet Venus spins very slowly in the opposite direction of almost everything else in the solar system. That's what the minus sign next to its rotational period means; it takes 243 days to spin, and spins "backward".
