Most planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, which is known as prograde rotation. However, Venus and Uranus have unique rotations; Venus rotates clockwise, or retrograde, while Uranus is tilted on its side, causing it to rotate on its side relative to its orbit. This means that the direction of rotation can vary significantly among the planets.
Mercury and Jupiter.
Sedna, a minor planet in our solar system, rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction. This means that its rotation is opposite to the direction of most other planets in our solar system.
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
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.
One complete turn of a planet's axis is known as a "single rotation." This rotation typically takes one day to complete on Earth, causing the cycle of day and night.

Retrograde refers to a planetary movement in which specific planets turn in a different direction than others. Planets with retrograde movements are Uranus and Venus.
Each of them does.
All planets turn on their axis. This is called the planet's rotation; one complete rotation is equal to one day on that planet.
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
Yes, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with an axis tilt of about 98 degrees. These are exceptions to the general rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction as their orbit around the Sun.
Mercury and Jupiter.
No. And Earth's axis won't point in the same direction forever, either - in a process called "precession", the direction of the axis changes over time.
To turn on an axis, you can rotate an object or yourself around a specific line in a circular motion. This is commonly done in activities like dancing, gymnastics, or sports to change direction or orientation.
