Venus is called Earth's sister planet because the two are similar in size and mass, and it's geoligic evolution is similar to Earth's earliest history. The similarities end there: The average temperature is 450 C, and the planet rotates backwards.

Your planet will in all probability orbit round a single sun, ... as it reaches opposition, it slows down and stops, then moves backwards through its opposition, then stops and moves forwards again. Experimenting with a night-sky viewer, such as my Night Sky Applet, should help you to understand the process.

Q: What planet rotates the fastest? ... Scientific context: No one really knows why Venus rotates so slowly. One suggestion is that early in its formation, it was hit by a huge body coming from a direction opposite its rotation, and that this slowed down its rotation immensely, as well as making it spin backwards.
