The earth rotates anticlockwise. Do all known planets (and suns?) rotate anticlockwise?

They do not rotate anti-clockwise, it’s only because we percieve our “north” as the top, if the south was percieved as the top then the world would be”upside down” and therefore everything will rotate clockwise.
Expect Venus,All planets rotate clock wise.Venus north pole is at 178′.There sun rises in west & sets in east.
