There really isn't one. But, Uranus rotates on its side. It still rotates in the same direction, just on its side.

Is Venus the only planet that spins the opposite way than Earth?
No, Venus is not the only planet that spins in the opposite direction to Earth. Uranus also rotates in the opposite direction, likely due to a past collision that caused its rotation axis to tilt.
If earth was destroyed would there be any other planet to live on?
So far we have found no planet other than Earth that is suitable for human life.
What planet has nitrogen and oxygen in it's atmosphere?
It is none other than our own planet Earth, which has nitrogen and oxygen in its atmosphere.
How does the distance between planet earth and the sun compare with the distances between the planet earth and other stars?
The Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star.
Does Neptune spin faster than earth?
Yes, Neptune spins on its axis much faster than Earth. Neptune has a rotational period of about 16 hours, while Earth's rotational period is about 24 hours. This rapid spin on Neptune contributes to its strong and dynamic weather systems.
What planet does the sun rises in the west and sets in the east?
In astronomy, the phrase "the sun rises in the west and sets in the east" refers to the fictional world of Tatooine from the Star Wars universe. On Tatooine, due to its unique twin suns, the suns appear to rise in the west and set in the east. This is not scientifically accurate based on our understanding of planetary motion in our solar system.
Why would another planet have a shorter day than earth?
It's to do with the length of time a planet takes to spin, a planet that spins on its axis faster than the earth will have a shorter apparent day.
What is the name of the planet that spins faster than the other planets?
Jupiter
Is Venus the only planet that spins the opposite way than Earth?
No, Venus is not the only planet that spins in the opposite direction to Earth. Uranus also rotates in the opposite direction, likely due to a past collision that caused its rotation axis to tilt.
What planet spins most slowly?
Venus spins the most slowly of any planet in our solar system. It takes 243 Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis, which is longer than the time it takes for Venus to complete one orbit around the Sun.
What is a unique characteristic of Saturn?
spins faster than any other planet exept jupiter
What other planet besides Earth has an atmosphere that can support life?
No planet that we know of other than Earth is capable of supporting life.
Which planet temperature is similar to Earth?
Venus has a similar average temperature to Earth despite being closer to the Sun, due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat. However, its surface is extremely hot, reaching temperatures around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit) due to its strong greenhouse effect.
What planet is smaller than earth other than mars?
Mercury
What planet rotates on its side other than Earth?
Uranus. (Earth is not like that.)
What planet spins on more than 1 axis?
Venus is a planet that rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system, which gives the appearance that it may have multiple axes of rotation. This unique rotation pattern is known as retrograde rotation.
If earth was destroyed would there be any other planet to live on?
So far we have found no planet other than Earth that is suitable for human life.
