Uranus is also one of just two planets that rotate in the opposite direction than most of the planets (Venus is the other one), from east to west.

That's why Venus' years are shorter than its days.

It doesn't have to, but the two are likely related. Something likely hit Venus back in the long ago to change its rotation. It's a theory supported by evidence but no it's not proven.
