Why does venus rotate backwards?

Answer 1

Compared to the other planets, Venus slowly rotates backwards.

As the planet that comes closest to the Earth, there is evidence that the rotation of Venus is tidally affected by the Earth.

Visiting probes show that Venus was resurfaced about 500 million years ago. It was at about that time that life on Earth really got going.

Venus has no magnetic field to retain parts of its atmosphere and there is evidence from Sumerian (Tiamat vs Marduk), Sanskrit (heavenly pitcher), Greek (Dawn and Tithonus) and Norse (World tree) sources that periodic large scale eruptions from Venus directly affect the Earth.

NASA has detected streams of oxygen particles from Venus that reach almost to the Earth's orbit. Caught between outward pressure from the Sun and the inward attraction of the Sun's gravity, some of Venus' atmosphere seems to still periodically find its way to our planet.

Venus has been a big watering-can in the sky, regularly dumping water, nitrates and oxygen upon us for half a billion years. These elements, however, are believed to originally have come from comets dislodged from the Oort Cloud.

So what happened to Venus 500 million years ago? Almost certainly it was struck by a big comet. This impact halted the normal spin of the planet and set it turning slowly backwards. The ancients seem to have figured this out as well, hence the myth of a sky-goddess at the crossing of the ways that sacrificed herself to give us life.

Answer 3

I am not sure if anyone really knows why this is the case. There are a number of theories. Clearly the way the Earth and other planets rotate is preferred. Venus just may be an odd-ball out of the eight planets in our solar system. I wish I had a little more knowledge of astrophysics so I could help you out.

Answer 4

One of the most puzzling enigmas of the solar system. It's orbit is nearly circular and the axial tilt is minimal--how to explain the retrograde rotation? Does the Laplace nebular hypothesis of the solar system take this into account? How about the angular momentum? Wish I knew a bit more about astronomy. Make a great paper for a thesis. Oh well, probably more complex than the motion of our moon.

Answer 5

Several theories, but the answer isn't known. One of the most plausible is that Venus was impacted but an immense planetesimal billions of years ago.

Answer 6

It is thought that an early massive impact may have resulted in Venus' retrograde rotation while leaving its axis more or less unaffected.

Answer 7

It's the odd planet in the solar system. It's why it's the symbol of femininity. Maybe we aren't suppose to understand these things.

Answer 8

A asteroid or something big was said to hit it and made it change its orbit.

Answer 9

There are many theories as to why certain planets, moons, and even galaxies rotate backwards. Personally, I believe in Creation. That is, God created the universe that we see today.

I think God puts those backward spinning planets out there to make the Big Bang theory look stupid. Because, if the Big Bang theory was true, then all planets should spin in the same direction according to the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. Since the Big Bang theory states that all matter in the universe as we see today started out the size of a dot no larger than the period end of a sentence. The dot then started to spin and exploded creating the universe as we see today - hence, the Big Bang. When matter flies outward from that explosion, it should follow the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. Meaning that everything must spin in the same direction of the original spinning dot described in the Big Bang theory. Evidently, that's not true as we see with Venus...

So, to answer your question... Venus was created by God to spin backwards so that we could realize of His great power when we ponder upon the vast universe.

Answer 10

because women are from venus and women are backward
