Venus has a "retrograde" rotation, compared to its orbit around the Sun. Unlike the other major planets, Venus rotates in a slow clockwise direction (from east to west).

Scientists speculate that Venus may have collided with another large object during its early formation. Similar theories have been advanced for the formation of our Moon.

What does venus do more slowly than any other planet?

Venus rotates on its axis more slowly than any other planet in our solar system. It takes about 243 Earth days to complete one full rotation, which is longer than the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. This slow rotation also means that a day on Venus (from one sunrise to the next) is longer than a year on Venus.
