Solution
Earth and most of the other planets rotate on their axis from West to East. So, to an observer on the Earth, Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. However, Venus rotates in the opposite direction, i.e., from East to West. So, on the planet Venus, Sun rises in the West and sets in the East.
