Yes, some faster than others. In fact, virtually all spacial bodies rotate.

How many planets rotate clockwisegive the names?

Within the nine old planets, 3 of them have retrograde rotation: rotate clockwise (westward). They are Venus, Uranus and Pluto. Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have direct rotation: rotate anti-clockwise (eastward). All the nine planets revolve around the sun eastward or anti clockwise.


What two planets rotate retrograde to the sun?

Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate in a retrograde motion compared to their orbits around the Sun. This means their rotation is in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.


Is the moon and sun a planet?

Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.


What planets don't rotate?

All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.


What are the two planets that rotates clockwise?

Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate clockwise, also known as retrograde rotation, in our solar system. This means that their rotation is opposite to the majority of the other planets, which rotate counterclockwise.
