The phenomena could be described as "retrograde rotation" in which a body spins in the opposite direction of its orbit. Venus, along with all other planets, orbits the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction (viewed from the arbitrary north, or "above"). However, it has lost its original counter-clockwise spin and now turns VERY slowly in a clockwise direction, as seen from its north pole, such that it takes 243 Earth days to make a single complete spin.
What else can I help you with?
How is the rotation of venus different from most other planets and moon?
Venus, unlike other heavenly bodies within our solar system, has a retrograde rotation. That is, it rotates in the opposite direction.
What planet is called earths''sister planet''?
Venus. It's very similar in terms of size, mass and composition, although conditions on Venus are radically different.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Venus travels in a what direction?
Venus travels in a counterclockwise direction around the Sun, similar to most other planets in our solar system.
What is a planet called when it spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in the solar system?
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
This inner planet spins with a retrograde rotation?
Venus is the inner planet that spins with a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun. This phenomena causes the Sun to rise in the west and set in the east on Venus.
How the rotation of Venus different from that of most other planets and moons?
It's backwards. Venus rotates the opposite direction from most other moons and planets.
What planet rotates in the opposite direction from the most other planets and moons?
Venus and Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion.
What is the only planet that rotates a different direction than the other planets?
Actually there are two, Venus and Uranus.
Is the direction of rotation of Venus opposite to the direction of all other planets?
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
In which direction does the Venus revolve?
The Venus revolves in anti - clockwise.
In which direction does the satellites of Venus' rotate?
Venus has no natural satellites.
How is the rotation of venus different from other planets and moons?
Venus, unlike other heavenly bodies within our solar system, has a retrograde rotation. That is, it rotates in the opposite direction.
How is Venus's different to other objects?
VENUS IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER OBJECTS BECAUSE VENUS ROTATES IN THE OPPISITE DIRECTION WHILE ITS ORBITING THE SUN.VENUS IS ALSO DIFFERENT BECAUSE ITS CLOUDS ARE FULL OF SULPHURIC ACID AND VENUS IS SO HOT THAT IT CAN MELT LEAD. VENUS IS KNOWN AS EARTHS UGLY SISTER BECAUSE THEY BOTH STARTED OFF THE SAME BUT VENUS'S OCEANS EVAPORATED BECAUSE IT STARTED GETTING SO HOT .

How is the earth and Venus different?
These are some of the main things : 1) Venus is a lot hotter. 2) Venus's atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide and the clouds are sulfuric acid. Also the atmospheric pressure is much higher on Venus. 3) There's no water on Venus. 4) Venus rotates very slowly and in the opposite direction compared to Earth.
