Why does the sun rise in the west and sets in the east in 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 a planet beyond Saturn rise in west and sets in the east?
There are no planets in our solar system on which the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east.You may be thinking of Venus, which does rotate the other way from all the other planets. However, you would never see the Sun rise on Venus, because the clouds on Venus are so thick that they forever obscure the Sun.(Plus, the 600 degree temperatures and the poisonous atmosphere of sulfuric acid would spoil the view.)
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.
