what planet revolves backwards
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Venus has a slow retrograde (backward) rotation. Uranus also has a retrograde rotation. It is also on it's back. HOWEVER You may be getting rotation confused with revolution. Rotation is a planet's spin on it's axis and revolution is it's motion around a star. All planets revolve around the Sun in a prograde (forward) motion. The vast majority of moons also revolve around their planets in a prograde motion. A notable exception is Neptune's moon, Triton.
