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.

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates backwards, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets. This unique characteristic has led to Venus having one of the longest days of any planet.
All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.
Viewing from their north poles all planets rotates from west to eat (clockwise). Except the planets Venus and Uranus. The rotational acceleration(speed) varies from planets to planet
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
Within the nine old planets, 3 of them have retrograde rotation: rotate clockwise (westward). They are Venus, Uranus and Pluto. Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have direct rotation: rotate anti-clockwise (eastward). All the nine planets revolve around the sun eastward or anti clockwise.

Venus, Uranus, Pluto
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.
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
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.
All planets rotate. Even earth.
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
Yes, all the planets in our solar system revolve and rotate.
All of the planets in the solar system rotate, but two are very slow. They are Mercury and Venus.
Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate in a retrograde direction, meaning they spin backwards compared to most other planets. Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, resulting in a longer day than its year. Uranus, on the other hand, has an extreme axial tilt, causing it to roll on its side as it orbits the Sun.
No, an observer from Earth would not see all the planets rotate backward at the same time. This is because each planet rotates on its own axis and orbits the sun independently, so their motions appear to be unique relative to Earth's position.
Yes. All planets rotate about an axis.
