What direction do the planets turn on their axis?
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.
Does Neptune turn sideways?
Not really; Neptune has its axis (its poles) tilted at 28o which is very similar to the Earth's tilt of 23o. Perhaps you are thinking of the planet Uranus which has its axis tilted 98o , which means that one of its poles is always pointed almost directly toward the Sun and the other pole is pointed toward the outer Solar System. This means that roughly one half of Uranus is always sunlit and the rest is always in darkness, which fits the word "sideways" pretty well.

What planet has a retrograde revolution?
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.
How long does it take Uranus to turn on its axis?
The sidereal (relative to the stars) rotation is 17 h 14 min 24 s
Which way does venus turn?
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.
