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.
