Which 2 planets spin in opposite direction?

Question

Venus is one planet, but I can't remember the other that spins in opposite direction.

Answer 1

It is sometimes considered that Uranus spins in a retrograde motion but only because it's tilt is so extreme, looks like it is on it's side almost. There are quite a few moons that spin retrograde also.

Answer 2

Scientists believe that Venus started off spinning in the same direction as all the other planets but that something happened to send it into reverse.


Originally it was suggested that Venus had possibly been turned upside down, which is why it now spins in an apparently retrograde or backward direction. At first scientists suggested that something pretty big must have slammed into it, causing it to flip over.

Of all the planets Venus was the most likeliest to flip over, it has a heavier atmosphere, almost 100 times heavier than Earth's, and it's close to the unusual influences of the sun.

Answer 3

Venus, Uranus, and Pluto are the only planets in our solar system that have retrograde motion(or spin in the opposite direction earth spins so that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.)

Answer 4

Venus is the only planet that spins in the opposite direction to all the others. Uranus is tilted almost 90-degrees on its axis, so you could say its spin is 90-degrees to all the others.

Answer 5
