Venus has "retrograde" rotation. That means it spins clockwise, as viewed from above the Earth's north pole. That's opposite the Earth's rotation direction.

Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction of most planets in our solar system. It rotates very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one day on Venus.

Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
