Both Venus and Uranus rotate clockwise, as normally defined. However, the answer is "Venus", because that's the one that rotates slowly.
They spin "upside-down" instead of how the others planets do.
There are actually 2 planets that are different. Venus rotates counter clockwise. (Sun rises in the West on Venus) Neptune is tilted so far over that it rotates on its side. Instead of a North and South pole, it has an East and West pole.
Pluto apparently rotates clockwise, with its major moon Charon circling in the same direction. The clockwise spin is also true for Venus, which probably began with a counter-clockwise spin and was turned backward by a collision. The planet Uranus has been tipped over onto its side, so that from above the ecliptic plane it appears to turn clockwise. But it is still spinning in the same direction that it initially did, which is the common counter-clockwise spin of the Sun and most of the solar system.
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin. Haumea is a small dwarf planet, it rotates once in only 3h 54m 56s
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.

Mercury rotates counter-clockwise (west to east), completing one rotation in about 58.64 Earth days.

An en dehors (turn) is one that rotates away from the standing leg and an en dedans turn is one that rotates towards the standing let. So, if the left leg is the standing leg, an en dehors turn rotates clockwise when viewed from above and an en dedans turn rotates counterclockwise. The reverse is true if the right leg is the standing leg.

What planet has rings and rotates like a Ferris Wheel? I have only a simple one word answer to that question. Uranus.
Mercury
In the northern hemisphere over 99 percent of the tornadoes spin counterclockwise but in the southern hemisphere 99 percent of tornadoes spin clockwise.
