Rotating planets

[Henryn]

Do all of our solar systems planets rotate in the same direction?

[incitatus]

Do you mean orbitally? or their own rotation? All the planets orbit the sun in the same direction, which is also the same way the sun rotates. Pluto is a little strange in that it has an eccentric orbit, meaning that sometimes it orbits inside the orbit of Neptune ... its orbit is basically egg-shaped.
In terms of planetary rotation they all rotate the same way at different rates, except for Uranus, which rotates at right angles to the ecliptic ... from our point of view, as though it had fallen over on its side.

[Waterwolf]

I thought Venus rotated in the opposite direction to the others, but I could be wrong.

Yes, I think waterwolf is right, have a look at this that suggests Venus spins in the different direction to the others: article 2211
