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.

no. venus used to rotate counterclockwise but now rotates clockwise. the reason for the reversal is disputed.

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.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
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.
Do all planets orbit around their self?
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.

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.
Suppose you view the solar system from high above Earth's north pole what about planetary orbits will be true?
All the planets orbit counterclockwise around the Sun.

No, they orbit around the Sun. The planets and the Sun are all in our solar system.
Does all the planets revolve around the earth?
No. All planets orbit the Sun.

Because of your face
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
