How is the rotation of Uranus unlike that of most of the other planets?
Uranus rotates once every 17 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds, as determined from the rate of rotation of its magnetic field. Because the planet has a retrograde, or backwards, rotation relative to its orbital motion, its day is shorter than its rotation period
