Venus has a very slow clockwise spin as seen from above the plane of the solar system. Six of the other major planets (including Earth) spin counter-clockwise.

Uranus apparently had a similar counter-clockwise spin but now appears to rotate clockwise, because it has been "tipped over" more than 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit (likely by some massive ancient collision).

Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?

Retrograde rotation is when a planet rotates in a direction opposite to the majority of planets in our solar system. The planet Venus rotates in retrograde, meaning it spins clockwise on its axis when viewed from above its north pole. This is in contrast to the counterclockwise rotation of most planets, including Earth.

What is a planet that has a rotation in the opposite direction of the earth?

Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth, meaning it has a retrograde rotation. This results in the sun rising in the west and setting in the east on Venus, unlike on Earth where the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.


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 planet has no satellites and a retrograde revolution?

Venus is the planet that has no natural satellites (moons) and rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, which means it rotates clockwise when viewed from above its north pole. It is unique as most other planets in our solar system rotate in a prograde direction.
