Why Venus and Uranus Rotate Differently Than Other Planets?
The rotation of the planet around its axis can be generally of two types: prograde and retrograde. Prograde rotation indicates that the motion is in the same direction as the Suns rotationwhich is counter-clockwiseif youre looking down on Earths north pole. Retrograde rotation is the opposite of that (clockwise). Most planets in our solar system, including Earth, rotate counter-clockwise or prograde direction, but Venus and Uranus are said to have a retrograde or clockwise rotation around their axes. Also, all the planets have some tilt i.e., their axis of rotation is not perfectly straight but rather tilted a bit. Except for Venus and Uranus which are aberration anyways when it comes to rotation, planets in our solar system generally have a tilt between 2° to 29°.
