Why Venus and Uranus Break the Rules of Planetary Rotation

Most planets in our solar system spin in a familiar direction, following the same ancient rhythm left behind from the birth of the Sun. But Venus and Uranus are strange exceptions. Venus turns backward, rotating so slowly that a single day lasts longer than its year. Uranus spins almost completely on its side, giving the planet some of the most extreme seasons in the solar system. How did these two worlds end up breaking the usual rules of planetary rotation? In this calm science documentary, we explore the mysterious spin of Venus and Uranus, from possible ancient collisions and tidal forces to the chaotic early history of the solar system. Their strange rotation may reveal how violent, unpredictable, and beautifully complex planet formation truly was.
