No. Each moves at a different speed. We can calculate that speed of orbit by knowing the distance of the orbit and the mass of the Sun. When observing other bodies, such as the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, we can use the observed distances and orbital times to calculate the mass of Jupiter or Saturn!

Astronomers observing nearby stars are able to detect the faint decrease in light as a planet "transits" the star, passing between the star and us on Earth. Because they are able to precisely measure the time for each orbit, they are able to calculate the mass of the primary star much more accurately!

Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?

No, planets do not revolve around the sun at the same speed. Their orbital speeds depend on their distance from the sun - planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and faster speeds, while those further away have longer orbital periods and slower speeds.

When two artificial satellite revolve around the earth the one's closer and the one's further. which one revolve the earth with higher speed?

The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.

Do all planets revolve in the same direction?

Most planets in our solar system, including Earth, revolve counterclockwise. However, Venus and Uranus are exceptions, as they rotate clockwise. This may have been influenced by their formation process and later gravitational interactions.
