    Venus and Uranus are the only two planets in our solar system which rotate clockwise. All other planets rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
    A tilt between 1 and 90 degrees is considered prograde rotation. Earth's axial tilt is around 23 degrees. A tilt of greater than 90 degrees is considered retrograde rotation.
    Venus' axial tilt is around 177 degrees leading to a retrograde rotation.
