The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.
If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".

What is a planet that has a blank rotation spins in a clockwise direction?
Venus
Is Pluto a retrograde rotation planet?
It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
What is the planet in your solar system that rotates clockwise?
Both Venus and Uranus have clockwise, i.e. retrograde, rotation.
When a planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called?
retrograde rotation
What direct does the earth spin?
east to west < wrong! the sun rises in the East and sets in the West because the earth spins the opposite way. Think about it. Well the earth spins counter-clockwise, so the sun will rise in the East and set in the West because of the rotation its spinning in.

Does your planet spin clockwise?

What is the only planet that spins counter clockwise?
venus
This inner planet spins with a retrograde rotation?
Venus
A planet that has a rotation spins in the opposite direction as the earth?
Neptune
How is the rotation of the planet Uranus and Pluto unique?
Uranus spins on its side
Is Pluto a retrograde rotation planet?
It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
What planet is a inner planet and has a retrograde rotation?
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).
What planet has a retrograde rotation and is a inner planet?
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).
Does the earth spins its axis?
Yes. The Earth, if viewed from the North Pole rotates in a counter clockwise rotation.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
What is the unique feature of of Venus?
It's the only known planet that spins clockwise (backwards)
