They call that retrograde motion
The spinning rotation of a planet from east to west is called retrograde rotation. This is the opposite direction to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate from west to east in a prograde 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.
The apparent movement of the sun from east to west is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east. This rotation creates the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky each day.
Just take a deep breath and let's imagine a peaceful little world drenched in the colors of dawn. The Earth itself turns gently from west to east, much like in a slow dance with the sun. It's all part of nature's grand design, my friend.
The sun actually doesn't move. The earth is spinning on an axis and this rotation gives the impression of the sun moving across the sky. Its the earths spin that moves, in the northern hemisphere in an anticlockwise direction

Retrograde rotation
It is called rotation, and it is an equilibrium motion that can change over time. In nature, the axis of rotation is never exactly perpendicular to the orbital plane, but is often close to it, a result of the planetary formation process.
Venus rotation about its axis, in which the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the east, is called a retrograde rotation.
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
Anticlockwise. And if it is in the same direction as its orbit, Prograde spin.
The Sun doesn't really rise and set; the Sun sits there in the center of our solar system, unmoving. It is the Earth spinning - and us with it - that makes the Sun appear to rise in the East and set in the west.
