The Earth rotates from west to east. Thus the sun rises in the east on Earth. However, Venus has a rotation direction opposite to that of the Earth. Which means, Venus rotates from east to west on Venus. As a result, the sun sets in the east on Venus.

∙ 12y agoAxial tilt does not effect sunrise and sunset per se. Axial tilt does effect the duration and variation of the seasons, so a greater axial tilt (up to 45 degrees from the vertical) will result in more extreme variation of the timing of sunrises and sunsets at all points except the equator.

On this planet the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.?
Venus. Venus spins in reverse direction than that of Earth and the other planets.
Why does the sun rise in the west and set in the east on Venus?
Venus has retrograde rotation. That means that Venus rotates clockwise. Venus's clockwise spin is opposite to most planets, causing the Sun to appear to rise in the west and set in the east on its surface. However an observer on Venus would not be able to see the Sun or stars due to the thick clouds that cover the sky.
Does venuses sun rise and set the same as earth?
No, it doesn't. On Earth, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every 24 hours (not exactly 24 hours, but close enough). On Venus, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east because it rotates in the opposite direction as Earth. On Venus, the sun would also rise approximately once every 8 months, because Venus rotates only 3 times every 2 Earth years.
Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
How big would the sun appear from Venus?
The sun would appear to be slightly larger on Venus than on Earth. Venus is somewhat closer to the Sun than Earth.

Venus has a retrograde rotation. That means it spins in the opposite directioncompared with Earth.The Sun can't be seen from Venus because of the atmosphere, but you've got the right idea.The reason is that Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth.
In which direction does Venus revolve?
i think Venus revolves around the sun in a clockwise manner.
