Detailed explanation-1: -Venus Spins the Opposite Way from the Other Planets All except two of the planets would be rotating the same way. Venus rotates clockwise on its axis. Its “day” is very long, 243 Earth days, which is even longer than its year, 225 Earth days. (The other spinning oddball is Uranus, which spins on its side.)
Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to being extremely hot, Venus is unusual because it spins in the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. It also has a very slow rotation making its day longer than its year.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most long-standing hypotheses is that Venus and Uranus originally rotated counter-clockwise – like Earth and the other planets still do – but were struck at some point by massive objects (perhaps other planets) that sent them spinning in different directions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west.
