What planet rotates from west to east?
Venus & Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is from east to west. All of the other planets including earth rotate from west to east.
What planet rotates east to west?
Uranus and Venus rotate east to west.
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
How planets rotate on there axis?
Planets that have a magnetic field have: 1) Contains magnetic material like iron, ionized gases, hematite, or magnetite. 2) Has a magnetic current going thru the material. If the planet does not contain enough magnetic material or the material does not have enough magnetic current, there is no magnetic field.
If the earth didn't rotate would the moon rise in the east or west?

What is the directions the planets rotate around the sun?
they rotate from west to east
What rotates from east to west?
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are the only planets which rotate from west to east
What is the planet that rotates by retrograde motion?
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus

Does mercury rotate east to west or west to east?
west to east
Why does Venus rotate from east to west whereas other planets move from west to east?
A large asteroid collided a very long time ago, reversing its rotation on its axis.
Why do earth rotate from west to east and the sun and stars rotate east to west?
Well, if you think about it, one is a consequence of the other. If you lie down on the ground and rotate (roll) west to east, everything around you that isn't moving will appear to you to rotate east to west (left to right if your head is pointing north).
What planets orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
