No, all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction, counter-clockwise as seen from high above the north pole.

However, Venus itself does now rotate (spin) in a clockwise fashion, which is the reverse of the other planets. Something obviously occurred that stopped its original spin.

Which two planets spin clockwise?

hi venus and uranus. venus spin very slow and is possibly explained by a collision in the early formation of our solar system. uranis however is up for grabs. its tillted 98 degrees and is basicaly on its side. research it. very interesting. cheers!


What are the 2 planets that spin backwards?

Venus and Uranus are the two planets that spin backwards compared to the majority of the planets in our solar system. Venus rotates in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing its rotational axis to be nearly parallel to its orbit.


Which way does Venus spin?

Venus spins from west to east.


Do all planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction as seen from far above the Earth's north pole?

This is known as prograde rotation, all of the planets spin in this direction apart from Venus and Uranus. Venus and Uranus spin clockwise when viewed from above the north pole, this is known as a retrograde spin.


Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?

Venus is the terrestrial planet with retrograde spin, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.

Do all planets spin on in axis in the same direction?

No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.
