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.

Which planets rotate backward?
Uranus and Venus both rotate 'backwards', spinning clockwise when veiwed from above.
Can a planet ever change it's way in orbit?
This is very unlikely. However, some planets, like Venus and Uranus ROTATE "backwards" (they do not spin the same way as the other planets). Some scientists think that Venus rotates backwards because a large meteor may have slammed onto it's surface so hard, it changed Venus's rotation. About one third of the moons in our galaxy rotate backwards, as well.
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Venus and Uranus are the planets which rotate from East to West.
How does Jupiter rotate?
Jupiter rotates backwards . It spins anti clockwise! Only Venus rotates clockwise, all of the other planets rotate anti clockwise. To date.
What planets don't rotate?
All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.
Which planets rotate backward?
Uranus and Venus both rotate 'backwards', spinning clockwise when veiwed from above.
Would an observer from Earth see all the planets rotate backwards at one point?
Not at the same time, no.
What is the planet that rotates by retrograde motion?
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
What three planets rotate in opposite directions of the others?
Venus, Uranus, Pluto

What planets orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
Do all planets except earth rotate?
All planets rotate. Even earth.
Which planets rotate on an axis?
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
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.
Do all planets revolve and rotate?
Yes, all the planets in our solar system revolve and rotate.
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Venus and Uranus are the planets which rotate from East to West.
How does Jupiter rotate?
