All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.

What planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
Were all the planets formed at the same time?
Only God knows.A2. The whole Solar system is believed to have formed at roughly the same time, about 4.5x109 years ago. Much of its materials came from previous super novas.The Earth had a brush with a similar sized planet soon after initial formation, and from the debris, the Moon and Earth were constructed. This other planet we call Theia.
Do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.
Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?
The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.
Do all 8 planets orbit the sun counter-clockwise?
Yes, all of the planets in out solar system orbit the sun counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole looking 'down'. Not all of them rotate counterclockwise on their axis though, the two exceptions are Venus and Uranus.

Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets

Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity

All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.
Are comets the same size as planets?
No, they are not. Comets are much, much smaller than planets.
What word means to orbit in the opposite direction to the norm for planets?
The normal orbit of planets and moons is in the same direction as the spin of the parent body. The particular norm in our solar system is counter-clockwise. Planets or moons that orbit in the reverse direction (clockwise) are termed retrograde. Confusingly, the same term (retrograde rotation) is used to mean clockwise spin or rotation.
