If you were standing on the surface of Venus, what is the most surprising thing you would notice about the way the planet rotates compared to Earth?
Correct
Venus is a total rebel of the solar system! While almost every other planet orbits and rotates in the same direction, Venus rotates backward, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. A day lasts only one hour would be a chaotic nightmare for your internal clock, but that is simply not the case. The planet is definitely still spinning, so it is not fixed in place, and while it has some quirks, it does not wobble like a dying top. Venus just prefers to do things its own way, making it the ultimate planetary contrarian.
