What is the name given to the east-to-west rotation on Venus?
Venus rotation about its axis, in which the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the east, is called a retrograde rotation.
Which planet has sunrise in the west and a sunset in the east?
Yes. With the exception of the geographic north and south poles the sun rises from the easterly coordinate. Depending on your latitude and the time of year it will be more or less nearly due east.
Does Venus spin from west to east on its axis?
NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.
Why does the sun rise in the west and and set in the east on venus?
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.

Why the sun rises two hours before in the east than in the west?
The sun does not rise two hours earlier in the east than in the west. The time of sunrise is the same for every location on a given day. The difference in time between the east and the west is due to the rotation of the Earth, which causes the sun to rise in the east and set in the west.
Why is there sunset and sunrise?
The Sun doesn't really rise and set; the Sun sits there in the center of our solar system, unmoving. It is the Earth spinning - and us with it - that makes the Sun appear to rise in the East and set in the west.
