Both Venus and Uranus rotate on their axis in a clockwise direction when viewed from above their north poles, while all other planets spin anticlockwise. Pluto also spins clockwise, but is no longer considered a planet since its re-classification as a Dwarf Planet in 2006.

Do the wheels of a car rotate backwards?

Unless a brake is engaged, the wheels on a car in neutral can rotate backwards. If the car is in gear, wheels attached to the power train probably will only rotate backwards if the car is in reverse gear. If it is in forward gear or "park" they should not rotate backwards. Wheels not connected to the power train should be able to rotate either direction.
