It rotates in the "retrograde" direction.
"Obliquity" is another way of talking about the tilt of a planet's axis.
You might say the planet is "upside down".
The direction of the rotation is called "retrograde" ("backwards" compared with the Earth's rotation).
Note: there is a complication here about how astronomers define the North pole of a planet, but that's probably an unnecessary complication for most people.

What planet rotates east to west?
Venus rotates east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. This means that it rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
If the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours through what angle will the Earth rotate in 2 hours?
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees/hour). Therefore, in 2 hours, the Earth will rotate 30 degrees (15 degrees/hour x 2 hours = 30 degrees).
What planet is tilted 98 degrees?
Uranus. However, one annoying fact is that Uranus's axis is tilted 98 degrees to its plane of rotation. This means that its so-called north pole is actually directed more closely to what we would call "south" in the solar system than to "north." So arguably, Uranus's rotation is opposite to the rotation of all the other planets (except for Venus), but apparently astronomers don't choose to define it that way. So instead of saying that Uranus is tilted 82 degrees and rotates backwards, they say that it is tilted 98 degrees and rotates forward
Which planet spins like a bowling ball?
because its axis is tilted
What planet rotates by retrograde motion?
Venus rotates in retrograde motion, which means it rotates in the opposite direction of most planets in our solar system. It spins from east to west, while its orbit around the sun is in the usual counterclockwise direction.
What planet is tilted on its side and rotates around the sun?
This must be Uranus. "On its side" isn't a very scientific way of putting it. It means that the planet's axis is tilted at about 90 degrees (98 degrees actually) from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.
Which planet has a zero tilt?
All planets have some degree of axial tilt - or obliquity. Mercury has the smallest with a tilt of only 0.027 degrees - so small as to be nearly zero.
If a planet rotates 360 degrees during a 24 hour time period, what does that tell us about the planet?
It tells us that the planet has a rotational period of 24 hours, which means it takes 24 hours for the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the case for Earth, where a day is approximately 24 hours long.
A planet has a very long day compared with earth .What does that tell you about the movement of that planet?
It means the planet rotates slower. To be precise, the angular velocity is less.
What does Venus do that no ether planet does?
It has retrograde rotation which means it rotates in the opposite direction of all the other planets.
What planet rotates east to west?
Venus rotates east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. This means that it rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
Which planet has its rotation axis tlted towards its axis?
How can a planet have it's axis tilted towards it's own axis? I think you are refering to Uranus which has an obliquity of 98o which means it's basically rotating on it's side and it's "north" pole points towards the Sun.
What shape is the planet Venus and does it have an axis?
Venus is nearly a perfect sphere. It rotates very slowly, but it does rotate. That means it does have an axis of rotation.
What planet rotates wrong way?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. This means that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east on Venus.
What planet has no satellites and a retrograde revolution?
Venus is the planet that has no natural satellites (moons) and rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it rotates clockwise when viewed from above its north pole. It is unique as most other planets in our solar system rotate in a prograde direction.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
Neptune rotates horizontally on its axis, like most other planets in our solar system. Its axis is tilted at about 28.32 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, causing it to have seasons similar to Earth.
If the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours through what angle will the Earth rotate in 2 hours?
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees/hour). Therefore, in 2 hours, the Earth will rotate 30 degrees (15 degrees/hour x 2 hours = 30 degrees).
