You can get a general idea of a tornado's direction by watching it move.

Is Jupiter rotation pro grade rotation or retrograde rotation?
Simple answer: Venus has "retrograde" rotation.A more complicated answer. Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth and most other planets in our solar system. The Earth's rotation is "prograde". It rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.However it is possible to define the "North Pole" of Venus in two different ways.It can be said that, on one definition, Venus also rotates in the direction that'scounterclockwise as viewed from above its North Pole.Still, nearly always, you will find the rotation referred to as "retrograde", so the simple answer is OK.Anyway, Venus definitely rotates in a direction that's opposite to its direction of orbital revolution.
