There are no planets in our solar system on which the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east.You may be thinking of Venus, which does rotate the other way from all the other planets. However, you would never see the Sun rise on Venus, because the clouds on Venus are so thick that they forever obscure the Sun.(Plus, the 600 degree temperatures and the poisonous atmosphere of sulfuric acid would spoil the view.)

Why does the sun rise in the west and and set in the east on venus?
Venus has retrograde rotation. That means that Venus rotates clockwise. Venus's clockwise spin is opposite to most planets, causing the Sun to appear to rise in the west and set in the east on its surface. However an observer on Venus would not be able to see the Sun or stars due to the thick clouds that cover the sky.
