Answer Choices:

O Earth, Mars, and Saturn

● Venus and Uranus

O Uranus

O Jupiter

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus and Uranus rotate clockwise when viewed from the north pole of the sun, while the sun spins counterclockwise. This difference in the rotational and orbital directions is defined as retrograde motion.

Answer:

As viewed from a position in space north of the solar system (from some great distance above the Earth's North Pole), all the major planets revolve counterclockwise around the Sun, and all but Venus and Uranus rotate counterclockwise on their own axes; these two, therefore, have retrograde rotation.
