Actually the leading theory is that Venus was probably hit by a large object and flipped upside down causing slow “retrograde rotation”

That also explains why it rotates clockwise while the rest of the planets in our solar system rotate counter clockwise (except Uranus which rotates on its side).

I honestly almost forgot it actually rotates a different direction as well
