All the planets in our solar system rotate anticlockwise, except one, which rotates clockwise. Which one?

Answer 1

It's "counterclockwise". But the one that goes clockwise is Venus. =)

Answer 2

Venus

If viewed from above the Sun's north pole, all of the planets are orbiting in an anticlockwise direction; but while most planets also rotate anticlockwise, Venus rotates clockwise in "retrograde" rotation. The question of how Venus came to have a slow, retrograde rotation was a major puzzle for scientists when the planet's rotation period was first measured. When it formed from the solar nebula, Venus would have had a much faster, prograde rotation, but calculations show that over billions of years, tidal effects on its dense atmosphere could have slowed down its initial rotation to the value seen today

Venus' rotation is somewhat unusual in that it is both very slow (243 Earth days per Venus day, slightly longer than Venus' year) and retrograde. In addition, the periods of Venus' rotation and of its orbit are synchronized such that it always presents the same face toward Earth when the two planets are at their closest approach. Whether this is a resonance effect or merely a coincidence is not known.

Answer 3

Venus. One complete rotation takes 243 days

Answer 4

Venus

Answer 5

Venus

Answer 6

Its VENUS

let us see why;

The planet is called Venus, the Roman GoddESS of beauty, who surely is a woman. and it is the ONLY planet thet revolves clockwise, does the opposite of others, doesnt follow the rule, figure out why,

just kidding, it was just a naughtty thaught that came to my mind
