Venus As well as Venus, Uranus is generally said to be rotating clockwise as well. But it is also tilted, so it can be said to be rotating either clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on whether one thinks it is inclined 82° in one direction, or 98° in the opposite direction !
Venus always is considered to rotate clockwise. Uranus is also considered to to rotate clockwise by some, but it's extreme axial tilt leads to different interpretations as to which pole is considered North, so some say that it rotates counter-clockwise.
It depends on which way you look at it, there is no real up and down in space. If you look from the north position through to the south, then the planets orbit anticlockwise (counterclockwise) - the usual model of the solarsystem is oriented this way.
Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
All of the planets spin counterclockwise with the exception of Venus. Venus, which is the second planet from the sun, spins in a clockwise direction,
Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto all spin in a clockwise direction as seen looking down on their north poles. The other planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
Venus and Uranus rotate clockwise.
In old texts, when Pluto was a planet, it was also included.
Venus spins clockwise, but very slowly.
Venus is the only one.
Venus does.

The Earth spins Counter-Clockwise.
The planet Venus no longer rotates in its original direction, but turns very slowly clockwise (east to west). This is believed to have been caused by a huge collision sometime after the formation of the planets.
The term "retrograde motion" means that a satellite (moon) moves in the opposite direction from what would be expected or common. A retrograde orbit is one opposite the rotation of the planet being orbited. This is the case with satellites of Jupiter and Saturn that are likely captured asteroids. The planet Venus exhibits retrograde rotation because it spins very slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above). The dwarf planet Pluto likewise rotates clockwise. All other planets display counter-clockwise rotations, and all planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise. (The planet Uranus is tilted on its side, and could be considered retrograde as well.)
uranus
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.

Venus
It's the only known planet that spins clockwise (backwards)
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".
All but one planet in our solar-system spins clockwise, that is venus. All other spins counter-clockwise or cyclonically. The Sun also spins Cyclonically, so the Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun.
how does the planet mercury's spins?
The Earth spins Counter-Clockwise.
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
The planet Venus no longer rotates in its original direction, but turns very slowly clockwise (east to west). This is believed to have been caused by a huge collision sometime after the formation of the planets.
A high-pressure system that spins clockwise is called an anticyclone. They spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
