In our solar system, most planets rotate counter-clockwise as seen looking down on their north poles (north poles as defined by the International Astronomical Union).
They all orbit the Sun in this same direction.
On Earth this is noticeable in the direction the Sun moves through the daytime sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun seems to rise in the east and set in the west.
Venus is a notable exception. It rotates in the opposite, clockwise, direction.
Uranus is titled "sideways", with its axis almost in line with its orbital plane.
However it does rotate in the same direction as Venus, just about.
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
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.
Planets orbit in some direction. However, what we CALL that direction depends on where we look at them from. If you look at the solar system from above the Sun's north pole, it's rotating counterclockwise; if you look at it from above the south pole, it's rotating clockwise. So it's essentially meaningless to ask whether planets in other systems rotate "in the same direction."

Only some.
yes it does
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
It rotates in the opposite direction the other planets rotate.

All planets orbit the sun in the direction that the sun is rotating. There are actually two planets that rotate by retrograde motion and are exceptions to this rule. These planets are Venus and Uranus.
