Correct Answer: Venus


Solution : The correct answer is Venus .

Venus is the planet that rotates in a direction opposite to most other planets in our solar system. While most planets, including Earth, rotate counterclockwise on their axes, Venus rotates clockwise. Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system and is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition. Venus has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, leading to a runaway greenhouse effect. This makes it the hottest planet in our solar system, even hotter than Mercury.
