Six of the eight major planets rotate "anticlockwise" (counterclockwise) as seen from above the Earth's north pole: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
The rotation of Venus is slowly clockwise, while the spin of Uranus is now observed to be clockwise because it has been tipped over more than 90 degrees "onto its side" (as if rolling along its orbital path at times).

∙ 11y agoVenus rotates in a CLOCKWISE direction, as usually defined. Uranus is also
considered to do this, but with an extreme axial tilt.
ALL the other planets rotate anticlockwise.
So, the answer is Venus, probably, if the question was "wrong".

∙ 9y agoMost planets in our solar system rotate (spin) anticlockwise - the same direction as they orbit, as seen from above the north pole looking down. The notable exceptions are Venus, which spins clockwise, or the opposite direction to most ("retrograde") and Uranus, which spins on its side (about 98 degrees to the orbital plane).

Which planet moves clockwise round the sun?
There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
Which planet revolves around the sun from west to east and rotates in the same direction in 24 hours?
The planets all revolve round the Sun in an anticlockwise direction as seen from a point to the north of the solar system. Planets always move from west to east in the sky relative to the stars, apart from when they are in retrograde motion.
Which planet moves around the Sun at the lowest speed?
Neptune
Each planet moves around in the sun in?
A path the shape of a circal
What determines how long it takes a planet to revolve around the sun?
The speed at which the planet moves and its distance from the sun both impact how long it takes to go around the sun. The bigger the orbit , the longer the planet's year.
Which planet moves clockwise round the sun?
There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
How does the distance from the sun of a planet affect the planet’s orbitalvelocity?
A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
Which planet moves the fastest about the sun?
The Sun doesn't move fast, but if you mean which planet moves fast around the sun then it would be Mercury, because it is closer.
How does a planet work?
it moves around the sun
Does the sun move round the earth or the other way round?
The Earth moves around the sun.
How does the sun affect the planet's surface?
Because the sun moves around so when the sun moves around the light from the sun touches the planets
What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?
That planet will move faster in its orbit.
Which planet moves around the sun at the slowest speed of any planet?
Sedna.
What moves in a circle around a planet or star?
A planet orbits a sun, a moon orbits a planet
The path of a planet round the sun?
haha
What path of the planet round sun?
summer
What is the planet that travels round the sun?
All of them
