Step-by-step explanation:

All of the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun in an anticlockwise direction as seen from the north pole above Earth. Most of planets also rotate in an anti-clockwise direction on their axes, but once every 243 Earth days, Venus rotate clockwise in backward rotation— the slowest rotation of any planet.
