Venus and Uranus rotate in the opposite direction to all the other planets.
So, in fact, there are two planets that rotate clockwise.
Actually there are two. They are Uranus and Venus.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins clockwise on its axis. This is also known as a retrograde rotation.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise (from east to west), which is technically considered spinning from top to bottom. This opposite direction of rotation is unique among the planets.
Venus As well as Venus, Uranus is generally said to be rotating clockwise as well. But it is also tilted, so it can be said to be rotating either clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on whether one thinks it is inclined 82° in one direction, or 98° in the opposite direction !
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
Venus is the planet that spins in the reverse direction compared to most other planets in our solar system. It rotates on its axis from east to west, known as retrograde rotation, whereas Earth and the majority of other planets spin from west to east.

It's the only known planet that spins clockwise (backwards)
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Venus
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".

Uranus is blue/green and it's rotational axis is horizontal from our perspective where all other planets tend to a more vertical spin. Which is probably the closest match considering the vagueness of the question. However, Neptune is the blue planet. Venus is the only planet that spins in the opposite direction (clockwise) from the others but it is a yellowy white.
how does the planet mercury's spins?
The planet Uranus spins on its side.
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
