Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest debris – in its orbit.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -An explanation for the backward, or retrograde, rotation is not certain. A long-held theory is that Venus once rotated as the other planets do, but was struck billions of years ago by a planet-size object. The impact and its aftermath caused the rotation to change directions or flipped the planetary axis.
