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.

What planet does the sun rises in the west and sets in the east?
Venus. Venus spins in reverse direction than that of Earth and the other planets.
When a planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system what is it called?
A retrograde motion.
What planet spins most slowly?
venus because it takes 243 days to rotate than the others planet
If a planet spins backwards it has what rotation?
Direct motion is the motion of planetary body in a direction similar to that of other bodies within its system, and is sometimes called prograde motion. Retrograde motionis motion in the opposite direction.
Which planet spins sideways?
uranus

Venus. Venus spins in reverse direction than that of Earth and the other planets.
What 8th planet from the sun spins in a different direction from the others?
Answer: Pluto is the only planet that spins in a different way Answer: Venus spins in the opposite direction to most of the other planets, while Uranus' spin axis almost "lies" on the plane of its orbit, resulting in the north pole (for example) being the warmest part of the planet during the summer.
What is a planet that has a blank rotation spins in a clockwise direction?
Venus
A planet that has a rotation spins in the opposite direction as the earth?
Neptune
When a planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system?
It's called a Rouge planet.
What planet is blue and spins differently from all the others?
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.
