A. It spins the opposite direction of most planets

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Venus is not close to earth but still, it is very hot. Venus's atmosphere consists of a thick layer of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and the clouds in Venus is made up of sulfuric acid.
  • The rotation of Venus is very slow, it takes around 243 days compared with earth to finish one rotation.
  • Venus is different because it spins in the opposite direction to earth and also to most of the other planets.
  • Venus does not have moons as mercury.
