All the planets in our solar system rotate anticlockwise, except one, which rotates clockwise. Which one?
Question:
Answer:
It's "counterclockwise". But the one that goes clockwise is Venus. =)
Venus. It has a slow retrograde rotation.
Venus. One complete rotation takes 243 days
Venus
If viewed from above the Sun's north pole, all of the planets are orbiting in an anticlockwise direction; but while most planets also rotate anticlockwise, Venus rotates clockwise in "retrograde" rotation. The question of how Venus came to have a slow, retrograde rotation was a major puzzle for scientists when the planet's rotation period was first measured. When it formed from the solar nebula, Venus would have had a much faster, prograde rotation, but calculations show that over billions of years, tidal effects on its dense atmosphere could have slowed down its initial rotation to the value seen today
Venus' rotation is somewhat unusual in that it is both very slow (243 Earth days per Venus day, slightly longer than Venus' year) and retrograde. In addition, the periods of Venus' rotation and of its orbit are synchronized such that it always presents the same face toward Earth when the two planets are at their closest approach. Whether this is a resonance effect or merely a coincidence is not known.

all the planets in our solarsystem rotates anticlockwise in any hindu temple the god in it is sun[ie. narayana]weimagin allplnets arround rotates ant clock wise .so we people rotates arround clock wise

just kidding, it was just a naughtty thaught that came to my mind
Don't listen to Rika Ishikawa. The word in English is Anticlockwise. She's correct about Venus though.
