00:00Did you know there's a planet in our solar system that spins the opposite way?
00:04Let's explore this interesting fact.
00:06Venus is the only planet that rotates backwards, which is called retrograde rotation.
00:11While most planets turn counterclockwise,
00:14Venus turns clockwise and takes about 243 Earth days to spin once.
00:18This means on Venus, the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east, unlike on Earth.
00:24Scientists think this strange rotation might be due to a big collision in Venus's past.
00:28Learning about Venus's backward spin helps us understand how planets work.
