Question

compared to earth, venus spins more quickly and in the same direction. slowly and in the same direction. quickly and in the opposite direction. slowly and in the opposite direction. this fact is most likely because both venus and earth formed from the same nebula and inherited the same spin properties as the nebula. venus is about the same size as the earth compared to the other planets. venus experienced a violent collision in its early history. the extreme cloud cover on venus affects the rotation rate of the planet.

Explanation:

Venus spins very slowly (it takes about 243 Earth - days to complete one rotation on its axis) and in the opposite direction compared to Earth (retrograde rotation). A leading theory for this is that Venus experienced a violent collision in its early history which changed its spin direction and rate. Earth spins in a pro - grade direction (counter - clockwise as viewed from the north pole of the solar system) and much faster (about 1 day for one rotation).

Answer:

slowly and in the opposite direction.
Venus experienced a violent collision in its early history.
