The question is why do they rotate differently from all the others? Venus rotates clockwise while Uranus rolls on its side as it orbits the Sun. If you look at the solar system from its north pole, then you will see all the planets orbiting the Sun counter clockwise and rotating on their axis counterclockwise, except for Venus and Uranus. Well not all, since Uranus also rotates in a different way. It rotates backwards compared to the Earth and the other planets.

On top of it, Venus rotation is opposite to the Earth. It means you already are in another year once the planet finishes the day. It takes 243 Earth days to complete its rotation but it only takes 224.7 days to complete each orbit. The day on Venus is much longer than one on the Earth. How could you live in a such hot planet like that?Īnd not just that. In this case, Venus’ high temperature and extreme pressure make it look very different from our world. But of course just like any twin, there is always a difference between them. It has a similar size, mass, density and chemical composition.
