First Venus does not have a strong magnetic field of the same type as the Earth. The Earth N-S fields are created by the flow of liquid metal in the Earth's core. Venus has a very weak magnetic tendency produced by lightning in the upper clouds. As weather related effect that magnetism is high subject to change or disappearance. All known magnetic fields have both north and south poles as pairs of opposites. (Monopoles are still SciFi theory.) Properly speaking a compass points to both North and South with the opposite ends of the magnetic needle inside. By tradition, we simply choose only to mark and talk about the North end, ignoring the South end. Effectively the north and south fields flow from one to the other and "cancel" each other out at any good distance. Magnetism is only observed when you are inside that N-S flowing field. However for large objects the "Strength" of one or both poles may be spread around a larger area as multiple weaker minipoles. Thus a planet potentially could have one strong and easily recognized single location North or South pole and then a difficult to pin down opposite pole.
From East to West, it is the only planet in our solar system to do so. All the others rotate West to East. Comments: That's not quite true. Uranus is another one. Here's a bit of pedantry: It depends how you define the North pole of a planet. There are two ways to do that, unfortunately. On one definition, Venus actually rotates from West to East. However, nearly everyone ignores that and says Venus rotates from East to West.
The Earth rotates from west to east. Thus the sun rises in the east on Earth. However, Venus has a rotation direction opposite to that of the Earth. Which means, Venus rotates from east to west on Venus. As a result, the sun sets in the east on Venus.
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
Europe is located on the eastern side of the Earth, between the North Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Ural Mountains to the east.
Its all relative to your point of reference... The earth rotates from west to east about its axis, or counter-clockwise looking down from a point in space above the north pole. You are standing on the earth, so you are also moving from west to east. You look up at the sun or stars, and they appear to move from east to west. Do this experiment... Stand still and look at some object in front of you. Pretend you are the earth and your head is the north pole. Turn slowly to your left (west to east) and you will notice that the object seems to move to your right (east to west).
Because Venus spins west to east unlike Earth which spins east to west.

Venus rotates east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. This means that it rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
Anticlockwise. The Earth travels from west to east. In fact all planet exept Venus travel west to east.

The Sun rises in the East. The following have capital letters: Planets(Mars, Venus etc.) Moon Sun Earth North South East West
Venus rotates from East to West, the opposite of the Earth. It is thought though that it's North pole is actually at the opposite end to ours, meaning that it is rotating West to East, but doing it upside down.
Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate from east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. Most planets, including Earth, rotate from west to east.
Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. This means that Venus rotates from east to west, whereas Earth and most other planets rotate from west to east.
Venus & Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is from east to west. All of the other planets including earth rotate from west to east.
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.
