  • Planets That Rotate Retrograde: Venus & Uranus Explained
    The planets that rotate in retrograde motion (spinning in the opposite direction to their orbit around the Sun) are:

    * Venus

    * Uranus

    It's worth noting that:

    * Venus rotates extremely slowly, taking 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. This is longer than its orbital period around the Sun (225 Earth days).

    * Uranus rotates on its side, almost parallel to its orbital plane. This is thought to be due to a massive collision early in the Solar System's history.
