Answer: Most of the objects in our solar system, including the Sun, planets, and asteroids, all rotate counter-clockwise. ... Uranus rotates about an axis that is nearly parallel with its orbital plane (i.e. on its side), while Venus rotates about its axis in a clockwise direction.

Does Uranus spin clockwise?

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. Venus rotates clockwise while Uranus rolls on its side as it orbits the Sun.

Does Uranus rotate clockwise or anticlockwise?

Every planet in our solar system except for Venus and Uranus rotates counter-clockwise as seen from above the North Pole; that is to say, from west to east. This is the same direction in which all the planets orbit the sun.
