∙ 13y agoVenus has what is known as a retrograde rotation.
If viewed from above the Sun's north pole, all the planets are orbiting in a counter clockwise direction; but while most planets also rotate counter clockwise, Venus rotates clockwise in "retrograde" rotation. [See related link for a video]
Venus also has the slowest rotation speed of all the planets taking 243 Earth days to make one rotation. It also has the unique characteristic that it's day is longer than it's year. Venus takes only 224 Earth days to orbit the Sun.

∙ 13y agoDepends on what you mean by "goes".
If you mean orbit, then none, they all orbit the same direction, counter clockwise.
If you mean "rotate" then Venus. Venus rotates clockwise when looking down at it's north pole from above. All the others rotate counter clockwise.

What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?
Venus is the planet that rotates in the opposite direction to all the other planets.
What a planet rotates on?
It rotates on its axis.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
What planet spins in a reverse direction to all the others?
The planet Venus no longer rotates in its original direction, but turns very slowly clockwise (east to west). This is believed to have been caused by a huge collision sometime after the formation of the planets.
Which planet rotates on its axis?
All of them, though some more slowly than others.
What planet has rings in a different direction from others?
Uranus has rings in a different direction from others.
What is the only planet that rotates a different direction than the other planets?
Actually there are two, Venus and Uranus.
What is the only planet in your solar system that rotates different direction than any other planets?
That would be Venus which rotates retrograde. Actually, Uranus does too.
This planet has rings oriented in a different direction from the others?
uranus
What planet rotates in a clockwise direction instead of the counter clockwise direction?
Venus
What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?
Venus is the planet that rotates in the opposite direction to all the other planets.
What direction does the planet revolve around the sun?
The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
What planet rotates at 90 degrees to the others?
uranus
Which planet in our solar system is the only one to rotate in a different direction from the others?
There are actually 2 planets that are different. Venus rotates counter clockwise. (Sun rises in the West on Venus) Neptune is tilted so far over that it rotates on its side. Instead of a North and South pole, it has an East and West pole.
What is the only planet that rotates in a different direction than the other ones?
Uranus. Its spin is tilted 90 degrees to that of all the other planets.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction of other planets and moons?
my face dahhh
Which planet rotates backward from east to west?
Venus (and also Uranus) rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
