Venus and Uranus rotate in the opposite direction to Earth. Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it spins clockwise on its axis, while Earth rotates counterclockwise. Uranus also has an unusual rotation, as it is tilted on its side, causing it to rotate almost horizontally. These unique rotational characteristics set them apart from most other planets in the solar system.

How many planets rotate in the opposite direction of the others?
Relative to the orbital plane, only two major planets appear to rotate (spin) in a clockwise direction,Venus and Uranus.Of these two, only Venus has lost its what is assumed to be its original counter-clockwise rotation. Uranus only appears to rotate clockwise, as observed from above the orbital plane, because its North Pole was somehow knocked over by 98° to technically become its South Pole.
How does Venus rotate?
Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction of most planets in our solar system. It rotates very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one day on Venus.
What planet spins the other way than earth?
There really isn't one. But, Uranus rotates on its side. It still rotates in the same direction, just on its side.
Does Neptune rotate backwards?
Yes, Neptune does rotate backwards compared to most other planets in our solar system. It has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun. This unique characteristic is thought to be the result of a collision with a large celestial object in the distant past, causing its rotational axis to tilt and reverse.
Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
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.
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
Far above the earth's north pole the orbital motion of the planets is?
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).

Do all planets except earth rotate?
All planets rotate. Even earth.
Do all planets go in the same direction?
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite direction?
The season progression would reverse.
Which planet in the solar system spins in the opposite direction?
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Do all inner planets go in the same direction?
Venus rotates in the opposite direction from that of Mercury, Earth, and Mars.
How does Venus rotate?
Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction of most planets in our solar system. It rotates very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one day on Venus.
Which planet rotates in the opposite direction from most other planets and moons?
Venus has a very slow clockwise spin as seen from above the plane of the solar system. Six of the other major planets (including Earth) spin counter-clockwise. Uranus apparently had a similar counter-clockwise spin but now appears to rotate clockwise, because it has been "tipped over" more than 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit (likely by some massive ancient collision).
What planet spins the other way than earth?
There really isn't one. But, Uranus rotates on its side. It still rotates in the same direction, just on its side.
