Because you're looking at it from above the north pole. If you looked at it from above the south pole, you'd say it was spinning clockwise. The Earth spins the way it does (whatever you want to call it) because of conservation of angular momentum. The net spin of the protoplanetary disk that condensed to form the Earth (and all the other satellites of the Sun) was in that direction, so the Earth spins that direction as well.
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).
Both Venus and Uranus have clockwise, i.e. retrograde, rotation.
Venus is the planet that rotates slowly clockwise on its axis when viewed from above its north pole. This backward rotation is known as retrograde rotation.
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
Tendrils of a climbing plant called Caytonia rotate clockwise.
No. Uranus also rotates clockwise as viewed from celestial north
There are two, Venus and Uranus.
Venus

Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
Jupiter rotates on its axis, completing one full rotation approximately every 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, bulging at the equator and flattening at the poles.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise. It also rotates very, very slowly - taking 243 earth days to rotate once.
Mars rotates on its axis in the same direction as Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This means that if you were standing on Mars's surface, the Sun would rise in the east and set in the west, similar to how it appears on Earth.
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
