Turn, turn, turn...

Did you know that all the planets in the solar system bar one rotate on their axis from west to east - so, as here, the sun would appear to rise in the east and set in the west. The odd one out is Venus which rotates the other way, and very slowly at that - a Venusian day is the equivalent of getting on for four months here on earth.
