Uranus rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, or clockwise when viewed from above the Sun's North Pole. This unique rotation may have been caused by a powerful impact that tipped the planet on its side early in its formation. The tilt of Uranus' axis is so extreme that it leads to extreme variations in sunlight exposure and seasonal changes on the planet.
Uranus is odd because it spins on it's side. Instead of spinning slightly off the vertical in a counter-clockwise position like the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins slightly off it's horizontal axis and spins clockwise.
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
Uranus rotates on its side, so it appears to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above its north pole. This unique tilt is believed to have been caused by a collision with a planet-sized body early in its history.
Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with its axis tilted at almost a right angle to its orbital plane, causing extreme seasonal variations.
Most of the planets in our solar system spin anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from above the north pole, but Uranus and Venus are exceptions - they spin clockwise on their axis.

Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)
Venus.
Yes. All of the major planets except Venus rotate (spin) counterclockwise, west to east.
Venus and Uranus are the only planets that do not rotate counter-clockwise.
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.

hi venus and uranus. venus spin very slow and is possibly explained by a collision in the early formation of our solar system. uranis however is up for grabs. its tillted 98 degrees and is basicaly on its side. research it. very interesting. cheers!
This is known as prograde rotation, all of the planets spin in this direction apart from Venus and Uranus. Venus and Uranus spin clockwise when viewed from above the north pole, this is known as a retrograde spin.
