Counter clockwise rotation of planets?

Except for Venus and Uranus,why do the rest of the planets including
the sun and even our own galaxy spin counter clockwise?Thanks,Bill.

I think you mean "solar system", not galaxy - we don't know anything
about the spin direction of planets and stars other than in our own
system - but the likely answer is that the original cloud just happened
to be spinning counter-clockwise and so the objects it condensed into
did the same.

The plane of the galaxy is at around 65 degrees to the plane of the solar
system so your remarks don't make any sense. However, the rotation of the
planets and the Sun will relate to the initial angular momentum of the
nebular from which the solar system formed. The original intrinsic angular
momentum of Venus was lost due to tidal locking and its' current situation
may be a resonance effect. Uranus' unusual tipped over spin axis may have
resulted from it forming from a collision of two large bodies.

Speaking of that, do you know how to calculate the spin-down time, or the
1/e rotation frequency diminution time, for a planet as the result of the
tidal drag from a single other body? I've been looking for this equation,
but I haven't found it, and I've been using one I put together on
assumptions that might not be right.

Can someone describe a picture for me of how say for example two huge
gaseous bodies that collide actually alter each other's spin axis and what
not. I understand the huge pressures of gas and that the pressures increase
as you go deeper into the planet, but still is it possible to alter the spin
axis that much of such a huge gaseous body such as Uranus by another gaseous
body? Also just for the hell of it, is there anything in our solar system
that could actually go through one of those gaseous planets and I mean like
some huge body? I am guessing not and it seems like a stupid question, but
here on Earth it just doesn't go hand in hand like that, that a gaseous
bodies have strengths of those made of metals and so on. Anyhow carry on and
I'll cut my ranting.

Do we know what it tidal locked with? The sun?

I'm also curious. Isn't tidal locking to the Sun a bit unreasonable at the
distance Venus is? Let's leave Earth alone because it also has another tidal
companion and let's take our neighbor. Why wasn't Mars, some 2 times farther
from the Sun than Venus also slowed down drastically?
I'm more inclined to say that a large impact during Venusian history
severely disrupted its rotational axis and period, but I'm no expert at
this.

Nor am I, but I gather that the theory about a large impact has been
joined by the new one, which says there was some sort of interaction
between Venus' atmosphere and the solar wind. On the subject of tidal
effects, there's also the may-be-coincidental relationships between
Venus' orbital and the Earth's year.
