What is the direction Neptune Uranus and Earth spins in?

0

Earth and Neptune both spin anti-clockwise when viewed from above the Solar System. However, Uranus spins clockwise, because its axis is tipped over by more than 90 degrees (98, in fact.) This is probably because a large object, perhaps a planet the size of Earth, knocked into it early in its history and tipped it over in its orbit.
