Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
Most planets rotate on their axes in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. This direction is known as prograde rotation. Venus is an exception, as it rotates in a retrograde or clockwise direction.
Planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, except for Venus and Uranus which rotate clockwise. All planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the solar system, except for Venus and Uranus which orbit clockwise.
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate clockwise, also known as retrograde rotation, in our solar system. This means that their rotation is opposite to the majority of the other planets, which rotate counterclockwise.
There are two known planets in our solar system that rotate clockwise: Venus and Uranus. The rotation of these two planets is unique compared to the other planets in our solar system, which rotate counterclockwise.
Most planets rotate in the direction of their orbit, which is to say, if viewed from the NORTH pole, if they orbit counterclockwise, they rotate counterclockwise as if they were rolling around the sun on its surface. If they are rotating the opposite direction, it is called RETROGRADE rotation. It is rare, but it does happen. Many scientist seem to believe this can only happen by some physical event such as a collision, or by the object in question being captured by the gravity of the primary as it wandered by. (Uranus orbits lying on its side, with one pole toward the sun).
They spin clockwise
yes,yes they do
Probably because an asteroid knocked them into spinning that way.

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
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
There are two known planets in our solar system that rotate clockwise: Venus and Uranus. The rotation of these two planets is unique compared to the other planets in our solar system, which rotate counterclockwise.
The dominant mode of rotation of planets, where they rotate counterclockwise on their axis as viewed from above the North Pole, is called prograde rotation.
Most planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This is known as prograde motion. However, Venus and Uranus rotate in a clockwise direction, known as retrograde motion.
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, at least 99%, rotate counterclockwise.
