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 orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
Does the sun orbit Mars?
All planets orbit the Sun.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
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.
Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
Do the planets orbit the sun counterclockwise?
There being no up or down in space, there is no clockwise or anticlockwise either.
Is all planets orbit around the sun?
All planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun.
Does the sun orbit Mars?
All planets orbit the Sun.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?
All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
What diriction do planets orbit around the sun?
That depends from what direction you look.As seen from the north - the way it is usually depicted - all planets move clockwise around the Sun.Of course, if you observe from the south, the planets would move counterclockwise around the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
